Ride Through Alaska’s Winter Wilderness
Guided Snowmobile Tours in Fairbanks, Alaska
Experience the thrill of winter in Alaska with a guided snowmobile tour from Rod’s Alaskan Guide Service, just outside Fairbanks. Starting in November, our snowmobile adventures take you deep into Alaska’s breathtaking backcountry for an unforgettable ride through snowy forests and frozen trails. Whether you’re a solo rider, or bringing a child along for a double ride, our tours are designed for safety, excitement, and true Alaskan adventure.
Each tour begins in North Pole, Alaska, and includes clean helmets, friendly expert guides, winter outdoor clothing, and small group sizes for a more personal outing. Our snowmobiles are easy to operate, even for first-timers, and we will give you all the help you need to operate it safely and confidently. Not ready to be the driver yourself? No worries there is plenty of comfortable space for a passenger on every machine.
All of my snowmobiles are Ski Doo luxury touring snowmobiles. These snowmobiles are made for riding in style and comfort. All of my snowmobiles have heated handgrips, reverse, and electric start. Heated helmets, gloves, neck gators, bibs, jackets, and boots (size 5 to 13) are included in your tour.
We typically see some wildlife on every trip. The animals we may see are: Moose, Caribou, Coyote, Lynx, Red Fox, Grouse, Ptarmigan, and Squirrels. It is also very common to pass mushers training with their sled dogs. We see the most moose/wildlife on the first tour of the day. We have seen up to 29 moose on a morning tour.
We welcome same-day bookings when space is available and offer online reservations up to three hours before departure. Choose from 1-hour, 2-hour, or full-day trips, or upgrade to a combo package with dog sledding or ice fishing for the ultimate winter experience—saving up to $75 per person.
Perfect for families, couples, and adventurous travelers, Rod’s snowmobile tours deliver the best of Fairbanks winter fun. From scenic trails to aurora-lit rides, this is your chance to explore Alaska the exhilarating way.
