Snowmobiling in The Arctic
An all-terrain vehicle perfectly adapted for the snow and ice of The Arctic, snowmobiling offers unfettered opportunities for ‘off piste’ adventures inside the Arctic Circle.
Capable of speeds of over 60 miles (95 km) per hour, for sheer exhilaration nothing beats skimming across a pristine snow covered wilderness, particularly with the prospect of a hearty meal and roaring fire at the end of a day’s exploration.

March - May during The Arctic spring when the snow and ice are still crisp and the hours of daylight lengthening.

Can two people share a snowmobile?
Yes, they are quite large and there is room for a second person to ride pillion. However, due to the rider in front the passengers view is more obscured and without the handlebars to hold on to, it can involve more than being just a passive passenger.
