GUIDE—Kenya

We road snowmobiles in Barrie, Ontario, Canada with this company called Smart Adventures. It was about 2 hours north of Toronto, truly a unforgettable electrifying experience. As far as pricing goes you should expect to pay around ~$200 USD per person for 2 hours of riding with a $1,000 damage pre-authorization; which is refunded after the tour. What I loved about this tour is that it started with lessons that took about 15mins. These lessons really helped me so much along the way especially for a beginner. Riding a snowmobile is nothing like riding a motorcycle, atv, or jet ski it is completely unique. I was very shocked to find out you have to use your body to maneuver the vehicle. For example, to turn right you shift your body to the right as well as turning the handle bars in that direction. When you are going up hill you lean your body in the direction of uphill. Make sure you listen to instructors directions for your safety. I absolutely recommend this experience for sure.

What to wear?

Dress warmly for snowmobiling with an insulated suit, helmet, goggles, gloves, and boots.

How to Get There?

Most places that offer snowmobile rentals will not be accessible through public transportation and will will be quite expensive to rely on a taxi to get to. You will need a car, rental car, or accommodations through your hotel or lodging in order to get to the facility offering this service.

When should I ?

Choose the winter months for optimal snow conditions. January and February are usually prime season.
