Snowmobile Tours & Rentals
Snowmobile tours are a great way to try snowmobiling in the Yukon. Most tours include a full package (snowmobile, training, gear, guide, transportation and snacks) for one convenient price, making them an easy and fun way to get started.
Snowmobiles are available for rent in the Yukon. Most companies now require a guide to go with any rented snowmobiles however some do not.
At this time the Klondike Snowmobile Association does not offer formal snowmobile tours or rentals, but there are several local companies that do…
Up North Adventures: Up North Adventures is owned and operated by Yukoners, and is based in Whitehorse, Yukon. They have decades of experience operating snowmobile tours in and around Whitehorse, and currently operate snowmobile tours in the Scout Lake area just a few minutes west of downtown Whitehorse. They offer half-day and full-day guided snowmobile tours, with options to pair your snowmobile tour with additional winter activities such as ice fishing and snowshoeing.

Most snowmobile tours in the Yukon include:
– Transportation to and from downtown
– Snowmobile rental
– Helmet and safety gear
– Warm winter clothing
– Safety demonstration and general operating instructions
– Snacks and beverages
– A professional local guide
– Choice of two riders sharing a snowmobile (included with base price) or a snowmobile to yourself for an additional fee (which most agree this is well worth it)
Each snowmobile tour is unique, so when you book please double check with your tour operator about what is included, what you’ll need to bring, and to confirm your pickup time and pickup location. Enjoy!
