My husband and I had a phenomenal experience renting a snowmobile from COA and taking one of their guided tours. Communication was a little slow at the beginning. It took a few days to hear back regarding our reservation. But once we were in contact, everything flowed really well. They are also a little tricky to find, esp when using GPS because GPS doesn't quite get it. But if you make a bee-line for the Wanoga Sno-Park, go straight (instead of heading into the parking lot to the right), and then look to the left you'll see their yurt and all the snowmobiles sitting outside! They pay great attention to safety. Before leaving the yurt, everyone is fitted for a helmet and they help you pick the right size and secure it properly. Once back outside, the guide runs through all the controls and explains what to do in a variety of situations. Before you hit any real trails, they have you do a few practice laps around a snowy field. We had Jeff as our guide. He was fantastic! Even though there was heavy snowfall and near whiteout conditions in sections, he kept us all safe and still having fun. Jeff gave us a lot of room to go as fast or as slow as we were comfortable with, while never losing track of anyone and not pressuring anyone to keep up. I'm really happy we went with the tour instead of just renting rigs on our own. At first the trails were clear but once the snow starting coming down heavier, there were sections where the trail was lost and it was absolutely key to have someone experienced in the area to navigate. I would definitely recommend them if you're interested in snowmobiling!

We had a great family adventure snowmobiling the trails with COA. Our guide, Adam was really chill and took good care of us. No experience need, just plenty of money because the tours are rather expensive for a group of seven. Totally worth it in my opinion as this tour was exciting and fun for all. The only awkward part is the check in. They want you there early to sign in but then you end up standing around waiting out in the cold and snow ( or in your car). Due to Covid, you can't wait in their warm, heated yurt. We waited for at least 30 minutes. However, no one in my group remembered the awkward check in, only the fun and excitement of snowmobiles, heavy snow and beautiful surroundings.

My wife and I took the 4 hour snowmobile tour in Bend over the holidays and had a blast. Dan was our very capable tour guide for one of the most unique and nature-filled adventures we've had in years. With plenty of fresh snow, Dan took us through the powder all over the surrounding mountains and areas. We probably covered about 50 miles on the tour overall and couldn't believe how far we ventured off from where we started. The views while riding along were more than breathtaking and Dan took our group well off the beaten path where we forged our own fresh trails. While I ride a scooter and have a good number of rides on ATVs and jet skis under my belt, I know that I generally ride a little slower than the average bear. I also had ankle surgery recently, so I had to take some of the bumpy sections a little slow. I was in the back of our 4 person group on purpose, but never felt left behind when I caught up to the group at our various stopping points. It's worth knowing that the group goes pretty fast. People will be "flooring it" on the gas. I was at about 80%. It's not a leisurely ride on the pontoon. That being said, Dan did a great job of stopping at reasonable intervals to make sure everyone was caught up. Even when we were on a really bumpy section near the end, my hands were tired, and my ankle was begging for a break and I took it slow for my own safety, Dan was totally cool with it. When each of us got stuck (happened to everyone and will happen every time you're on a snowmobile), it only took a few minutes for Dan to notice, turn around, and come to everyone's rescue - even in pretty treacherous conditions. If you're looking for some adventure, something different, and a really neat way to take advantage of the snow in Bend, Central Oregon Adventures snowmobiling tour provides a ton of fun for those with adventurous spirits.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! My wife won a raffle from the Sunriver lodge for a 2 hour snowmobile tour. COA's customer service was super nice letting us switch from a double ski to 2 singles for only $75. Dan Peabody was our guide. He's the best; if you can, request him for your tour. He was super patient with us and by the end we were all ripping and roaring on our way back from Tumalo. I can't express how much fun this was and such a pleasure to work with nice and genuine people. As a consumer, it's rare that I'm delighted by customer service. These guys knocked it out of the park. We'll be back next year for sure!!!

Booking the snowmobile trip was an adventure in itself! On average about ten phone calls to one answer, so be prepared for that. They dont have their availability or booking online so that honestly does not help. Also told us to arrive 45 minutes early just to arrive and be locked out in the cold. The trail was not groomed at all, but they make sure to tell you how they will charge for damage - but then take us on trails going over trees and broken branches? The instructor we had was super rude and condescending then had the audacity to ask for a tip and told us he only makes $18.00 an hour. Overall, majorly overpriced for what they provide. read more

4 ladies took on the challenge of snowmobiling in a blizzard. It was scary for some but in summation we had a blast. Our guide, One, was patient with our slowest, most nervous party. The lodge lunch was adorable, friendly staff, the chili was delicious. I would highly recommend this adventure. We also hiked Smith rock and Tumalo falls during our stay. An epic trip and this was a highlight! read more
I've been here 5 or 6 times with a bunch of different people. Jeff has been out guide every time and does not disappoint. Honestly I'm lucky that everyone had a blast every time and it's also been sunny. Wish I had pictures more easy to access but Yelp is not helpful. I have tons just can't find them. read more

Yesterday was our first wedding anniversary. We booked with Central Oregon adventures to go snowmobiling for today. Yesterday we were hit with an intense snowstorm where we live in WA got 16 inches of snow and lost power. I called Central Oregon Adventures and I was offered two options a 50% refund or credit for another time. I appreciated the options however the owner showed zero empathy for our situation and we ended up having to lose half our money because they were booked for the rest of the weekend. While I understand charging for canceling I think that making exceptions for special circumstances should be considered when it comes to customer service. read more

This was absolutely what our family needed! Adam was an amazing guide and made experience a true adventure. All of the staff were kind and helped us get a pack of teenagers set for their first time snowmobiling. This was a memorable 18th birthday for my son and we will be back! read more

Charlene and I want to publicly express our appreciation and gratitude to the wonderful staff at Central Oregon Adventures. Our recent excursion took us to a beautiful overlook where we exchanged our wedding vows at sunset. When we booked our trip, the reservations staff helped us with EVERY detail. And on the evening of our excursion, our expectations were greatly exceeded. We are now, and will continue to be your enthusiastic clients. Thank you for making our happiest day perfect. read more
Seven of us went on a guided snowmobile tour with Dan. Dan was amazing. He couldn't have made our experience any better. None of us had ever snowmobiled, so the experience seemed to be a little different than anyone expected. The first part of the tour was really rough. The trail was packed with people, so the trail was VERY bumpy and a little scary. We stopped at the lodge halfway through our trip and had drinks and snacks. The trail we originally came on we originally used was being manicured, so we took a longer trail that was much narrower, but better maintained. Since one of us had an accident on our snowmobile and two others got stuck in deep snow, we didn't make it back until way after dark. The ride on the narrow trail in the snow among the snow covered trees in the dark was spectacular with the lights of the snowmobiles shining. I'm only deducting a star for the neglected trails at the beginning of the trip. It was very rough and distracting enough that we could not enjoy the scenery. I can't wait to do it again though. read more

WORTH EVERY PENNY WE SPENT!! EXCELLENT!! My wife and I took a Christmas Vacation and went with Central Oregon Adventures for the snowmobiling. It was our first time and couldn't ask for a better company and guide for the experience. From the moment we reserved over the phone a few months ago to the actual ride, the professionalism was amazing and made it a lot of fun! We reserved two machines to ride single, we also had our own private guide, Stephen which was amazing and fun! We did the 4 hour tour starting at 1pm, which was a good choice because it gave us the opportunity to see sunset and do a bit of night riding which was GREAT! We got to see it all and it was about a 65 mile trip! The equipment is all new and in great shape, also they keep you really warm with heated hand grips and the engine stays warm. Overall it was excellent and well worth the time and money!! Thank you COA! read more

I wanted to append to my last review to make sure that you have a phone - like a sat phone - or a method to reach search and rescue for deschutes county since the guided tours don't offer a method and if someone gets hurt you don't want to be stuck. Our guide had a saw so make sure they have one and again, be prepared to have a party where you have enough members that can move fallen trees and recognize that they go out in all kinds of weather - up to 55 mph winds - so if you are beginners and you have to dodge trees, etc or if visibility is very low and you have to tailgate the rider before you that you are able to hit the kill switch quickly. We have ridden snowmobiles before but always on nice days. read more

Totally worth the super reasonable price. Jeff was our guide and he was great! After the first half of the ride he reviewed how the machine felt and made sure we didn't have any questions. Want with a friend visiting out of town and will definitely be back with friends who live nearby! The machines were also really nice/new and powerful. HIGHLY recommend Central Oregon Adventures. read more

I figured the best place to potentially die while snowmobiling for the first time would be in the shadow of beautiful Mt. Bachelor, so my fiance and I signed up for the four-hour tour offered by Central Oregon Adventures. Our tour guide was Drew, and he was awesome. I'm pretty sure he could smell my utter fear at the moment I glimpsed my snowmobile, but he was incredibly patient and really stressed that we would only go as fast as I was comfortable going. The tour itself wove through some absolutely beautiful meadows, forests, and view points. At the latter, Drew would have us stop and he would offer to take pictures of us looking totally badass in front of Mt. Bachelor, South Sister, and Broken Top. We also got a chance to "play" in a huge meadow overlooking Sunriver for about 15 minutes. Once we got back on the trails, Drew would stop occasionally to make sure we were doing okay, which was really nice of him. We also got to drive on Cascades Lakes Highway, which is usually closed to vehicle traffic during the winter, in order to get to Elk Lake Resort and take a break with a truly enormous cup of hot chocolate. I have to admit that for the first two hours of the tour, I was terrified and I refused to go faster than 12 mph. I expected Drew to just kindly lead my wussy self off a small cliff and continue the tour, but instead, he said that since we were the last tour he had to lead, there was absolutely no rush to get back exactly on time. This was greatly appreciated. Oh, and by the third hour I had finally gotten some confidence in handling a huge snowmobile on my own, and I made it up to 35 mph, thank you very much. We always felt safe and supervised, without feeling like we were on the "kiddie" ride. The four hours zoomed by, we really saw some amazing things and we have the great pictures taken by our guide to prove it! If you are looking for a great new way to experience Sunriver without the geeky skis or snowshoes, book with Central Oregon Adventures! read more

If i could give 10 stars i would. I spent the better part of the 4 hour trip giggling uncontrollably. I highly recommend Drew as your guide. We spent a large part of the trip with wide open throttles. Drew was also kind enough to help with getting machines unstuck, explaining how to ride the machines, and just in general a nice guy to talk with at the resort. For future trips this will be the only company that i rent from, and i will request Drew as my guide. I will also recommend to any friends and family that want to ride to do the same. It made for some lifelong memories. Thanks COA and Drew! read more

We went on a day that was warm and it hadn't snowed much in weeks. The trail was bumpy and icy, but they warned us of as much and we could have cancelled 48 hours in advance if we wanted to. They did offer to give us a 2 hour tour instead of a 4 hour, but we stuck with the 4 hours. Because another group had cancelled, my wife and I ended up with our own guide, Steven. Steven is a nice guy who obviously knows the area really well. One of us (not me) had a minor run in with some vegetation and caused a very minor amount of damage to the plastic screen. Amber was cool about it, citing the less than ideal conditions, she gave us a break and didn't charge us for it, even though she had every right to do so. Would totally come back on a snowy day, but the trails (ungroomed, something normally done by a third party) were so rough and bumpy that after just a few hours, we were pooped so we wrapped it up. Conditions sucked, but Steven and Amber were super cool about it and that's obviously not their fault. Lastly, the sleds were great. They were in good condition and worked well. I have zero complaints about the equipment, service, or location. We just picked a crappy weather day! read more

We went on the 4 hour sunset snowmobile with Dan as our guide, he was AMAZING!! We had a group of 4 friends and he let everyone go at our own pace, by the end we were full throttle at night in some awesome single track trails flying through the trees. I was giggling like a little kid the whole time while my girlfriend hung onto the back :). The stop at Elk Lake for dinner was great, we watched the Beavers game and had some great food. The guy at the bar there was also awesome and helping us pick out the best things to eat. I super highly recommend this tour and Dan! Being able to do day and night snowmobiling was such a great experience. We wanted to do it again the next day! The only thing I would recommend is to get your own snowmobile as the person on the back will have to hold on tight and it's a bit bumpy for them. GO FOR IT! read more

Are you ready to put your life and limbs on the line with a company that has no respect for safety? With a company, that claims to be accessible to riders of all levels but absolutely are not. Read full review and judge for yourself. I went with my boyfriend in January, were told it was fine I'd never done it. It was just one guide and the two of us. We got there, signed our papers, and the guide explained the controls in less than 5 minutes and we were off. We got one practice around a little play area. The guide didn't check if we were ready to start winding through the trees at high speeds. But off we go! Adventure time! I asked to be at the rear because I was not feeling secure with the maneuvering of the machine. So guide is in front now, boyfriend behind him, and me trying to keep my boyfriend in sight as we winded though the trees. First 20 mins, I missed a turn. Hit a tree. Okay ouch. Scary. Lame. I suck at this. The guide came back within a few minutes. Checked on the damage of the mobile (not much). He declares we can keep going. He asks how I am. I tell him, "okay but we need to slow down." I tell him " I'm scared." And I tell him " I think I suck at this." My boyfriend, says "hey man, looks like this will be a boring day for you." We both felt like he was more interested in showing us some thrill ride then for our safety. This would have been a wonderful opportunity for him to, give me further instruction on riding. Take me to safer conditions to practice turns. Or as per request SLOW THE HELL DOWN. He did not. Nor did he give us a choice. But trusting our guide we got back to it. And once again, within 20 minutes I'm losing sight of them, struggling to keep up. And AGAIN I hit a tree. Yes, I do indeed suck at this. But this time I was impaled by a piece of the snow mobile. I was sliced from the bottom of my knee to the top of my thigh and across the width of my leg in shape of a triangle. Think war movie gore. Pieces of my flesh were left off onto the snow mobile and on the ground. I stood in the snow screaming by myself for over 5 minutes before the guide came back for me. But, I guess it's my lucky day because he's an EMT. He gasps when he sees my wound and could not look at it while administering first aid. (not a sign of a medic with much field experience) He pulls out his pack. Gauze pads: about enough to cover a stubbed toe. "oh meant to replace that soon" he says. I am the one to suggest we cut up my own clothing to create a bandage big enough to cover the wound. He pulls out some duck tape, he just so happens to be running out of duck tape that day too. I pull out my own hair tie to cinch the fabric tight enough to get the needed pressure on this wound. I have limited first aid training but remember I'm the one gaping, bleeding, and in shock. At the hospital in Bend it took multiple doctors to sew me up and it was miracle that I did not need skin grafts. With the guide's first aid supplies alone, I'm not sure enough skin would of been salvageable. The bruise was so deep it pooled down into my ankle. Now, I've missed so much work while this has been healing. I've had follow up infections not to mention Frankenstein leg. The only insurance they offer you is for $20 you can buy their own policy with a $750 deductible. This covers the cost of damage only, not medical expenses, lost wages, etc. And of course you do literally sign your life away. They have good lawyers writing their waivers and they don't care about your safety. And as the owner explained to me, "everyone" who has ever tried to sue them has failed. So I know with 100% certainty I am not the first person who felt the negligence of their conduct contributed to a serious accident. I'm sure plenty of people go and have a great time. But there are plenty, and more than they want you to know about, that get hurt or die. The guide told me, " I was lucky I didn't hit my head like a buddy of his did just the day before, and he was a very experienced rider. " They even have a pre-printed sheet for "what happens after a crash FAQ" to hand you as you ride off in an ambulance. So just remember these are the very real risks. read more

Excellent service. 5 stars. Great tour guide and lots of fun. I have to rate this 3 stars instead of 5 because the 4 hour tour went through a one and half hour of bumps which was not really fun. The tour had no other options but that kind of made it a very poor riding condition. This is due to no snow for 2 weeks. I will recommend this to friends and family hopefully next time there will be more snow. I will do this again. read more

These guys saved our New Year's trip to Bend. After a thoroughly disappointing day snowboarding on Bachelor for NYE day (it reminded me of when we took our boys to Epcot on NYE when they were younger), we decided to rent snowmobiles and go on the 2-hour guided trip. It's as much fun as I've had with clothes on in a long time. Our guide took us off-trail to some beautiful powder covered areas where we could go as fast and hard as we wanted. I expected some slow-poke, gas-powered trek through the snow park trails and was happily wrong. For what it costs to take a family to Mt. Bachelor for skiing/snowboarding, this adventure is a fun and comparable alternative. I highly recommend it and COA as your guide. read more

Our group of 8 went on the 4 hour guided snowmobile tour and loved it! the guides were great, the machines were in excellent condition, and the ride was tailored for our group. They let us go as fast as we desired, took us through technical terrain, to Elk Lake Lodge, etc...they also had all necessary gear available for rental or purchase on site, which was great since not all in our group own snow gear. Very well ran and professional outfit. highly recommended! read more

My wife and i spend a week every year in central Oregon to ski, hike, and relax. We were looking online for things to do and found the COA website, and on a whim made our reservations to each ride our own machine. And then wondered for the next three weeks whether we'd made a mistake. No worries! Jeff our guide was fantastic and put us at ease right away. He started us off slow until we were comfortable, and then continued to pick up the pace as our confidence rose. It was a beautiful day with wonderful views of Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top, etc. At the end of the three hour ride we wondered were the time had gone. We were in a large group and everyone agreed that it was a blast. We couldn't have asked for a better guide to make sure we all had a great time while taking safety very seriously. We'll definitely do it again! read more

I have never been on a better excursion! I went with a group of about 16, and Abel broke up the group and led us on an amazing backcountry ride. They stopped in large clearings so that our group could ride around together and had a great balance of trail and off trail riding. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Awesome adventure, not to be missed! From our first call to make reservations to the end of our tour, the COA team was amazing. We chose the four hour tour with Dan Peabody as our guide, he was awesome, we will request him on our next trip. Our group was small only four riders, which made for tons of riding time and very little waiting time. We opted to skip Elk lake and instead make the climb through completely virgin trail to the top of Triangle peak. Beautiful views, Dan pointed out all the local terrain and allowed us to catch our breath after more than 30 minutes of beautiful untouched single track riding. Our descent was equally stunning as we worked our way completely off trail through the trees. Great opportunity to test our deep powder and turning skills. We will be back for more as soon as our sore muscles heal. Absolutely recommend this company and tour and our awesome guide Dan. read more

I don't have much time, so I will list it short: Pros: 1. Staff picking up the phone very friendly and helpful, people I met on site are very friendly too 2. Our guide Drew is very good, knows everything of the entire field like his backyard. Very professional. We feel safe following his vehicle. Whenever we are stuck, he will get us out of trouble in no time 3. Some people complained about speed, I feel it's okay. We were there to experience the off-worldly wilderness, so we wouldn't want to be at a low pace anyways. Plus, if you lag behind the guide, he will either come back for you or stop and waiting for you to catch up. You shouldn't get lost following his track. 4. The snow storm is getting heavy these days and the snow is thick and great for snowmobile! 5. The rich terrain, 30-60mph speed, and the blizzard is far far better than your MW2 snowmobile experience. 6. We were late for more than an hour due to the unexpected snow on the road, but Drew still gave us full 2hr experience. Appreciate it. 7. They are a group of passionate and friendly people, you enjoying talking with them. Cons: The first time I tried to call to make reservation, it didn't get through for the entire afternoon. But they did get back the next day and I had no problem making the reservation. read more

Just another "Dan" fan here...we had the time of our lives on this 4 hr tour. I'm sure he was ready to be done with us (6 hrs later) but we really appreciated his knowledge, his sense of adventure and most of all, his patience with the group. We (I) got stuck numerous times and he always jumped off his machine with a smile and encouraging words. What a nice guy...we will definitely be back next year and hope he is still there to guide us. read more

AWESOME! My husband was expecting the grandma tour with a 15 mph cap on the snowmobiles. Not a chance...... The snowmobiles were in great condition, the trails were endless and our family had a BLAST!! We rented 4 snowmobiles and took the 4 hour tour so that our 16 year old and 19 year old could drive their own. Listen, if you hit a tree its your own stinkin' fault. For the most part, the trails are wide open, and your speed is what you make it. Lunch at Elk Lake was excellent. Beautiful views and a great day. Thanks Drew! read more

I went on a 4 hr guided tour on 3/1/14. When I called to reserve the trip the woman who answered the phone was pleasant and cheerfully answered some of my dumb questions. I was told that there was a group of 2 already signed up for that date and they were all repeat customers for the last 3 seasons. I joked that I'd probably be the slowest one in the group and she asked what my experience level was. I'd never been on a snow mobile but she asked if I'd done any other riding on a jet ski or quad, I answered yes and she said I'd be just fine as the skills for other motorsports are fairly similar. When I arrived for the trip I was greeted, given a helmet and goggles, signed a few papers and was shown the machines and given a little bit of advice on riding technique. Drew, the guide was kind of funny, he told us how he rides (ie. standing up to reduce back fatigue, leaning to carry more speed through turns, etc.) then he said that it didn't really matter, just use the gas to go, brake to stop and handlebars to turn. Drew said we'd head out to the snow play area and we could do some turns and get used to how the machine felt moving and stopping before heading out on the trail, I figured we'd be given 5 minutes of "free play" where Drew would watch us and judge our comfort level on the machines and give some advise, but what actually happened was we rode across the snow play area, made a right turn, made a left turn then stopped, we all gave a thumbs up then took off down the trail. I'd have liked for the guide to give a little more instruction on riding skills, perhaps some intermediate riding techniques to try out. After a few hours on the machine, I realized that it really didn't take that much skill to ride, going fast took some practice, but the few tips the guide gave before heading out got me started and I quickly figured out the rest. We started out on a freshly groomed trail slowly at first then worked up to about 35mph, soon we turned off the trail and rode through some sparse forest (compared to the east side of the Cascades) making some tighter turns, blasting up to 45mph then slowing down to ride over small hills and valleys. Eventually we joined another groomed trail and came to a stop, everybody in the group was keeping up comfortably so after another thumbs up we took off down the trail, this trail had been groomed but looked to have had more traffic, it was a little bumpy and there were several turns, some could be taken at 40+mph, some of the tighter turns demanded a more sensible speed. After 20 minutes or so we departed from the trail again and cut through the trees, after a few hundred yards Drew stopped and we waited for everybody to catch up. Then we took off again (after a moment of drama having to locate the last rider in the group who had stopped to clean his goggles just before we turned off the trail and didn't know where to follow.) Drew said often it took groups 2 hours to reach the point we'd made it to in about 45 minutes and complimented us on our abilities. We spent the next 1/2 hour zipping around up and down hills, through trees, Drew found some jumps for us to ride over. We stopped for a quick break and we were again complimented on our ability, Drew said we were the fastest group he'd lead all year, and said I was the fastest first-timer he'd had in a couple seasons. He suggested that if any of us ever books another trip (which I am already thinking about ) ask for a trip to Tumalo mountain, I guess it's a bit further and a bit more technical, but they have to start out heading that direction from the beginning in order to make it out and back in time. We worked our way back down to the highway and blasted down to Elk Lake Lodge, I was riding wide open for about 30 minutes. We arrived at the lodge and it was packed, standing room only, literally. The service was mediocre but the food was good. After about an hour and 20 minutes we finally paid our bill and got back on the machines. We blasted down the highway again at full throttle then turned off on a groomed trail that had seen a lot of use, it was pretty rough but we were still riding hard, the few times I looked down at my speedometer we were going 35-45mph. After about 40 minutes we turned off the trail and raced through the trees for another 15 minutes before arriving back at the snow park. It was a great ride, we traveled 64 miles and averaged about 40mph, my GPS recorded a top speed of 62mph, definitely at or above my skill level. My only real criticism, and reason for the 4 stars, was that the stop at the lodge took a long time, and seemed like it hadn't been part of the plan when we set out, but because the group was riding so fast the guide didn't really know where else to go and the lodge was a good excuse to stop and eat up some time. On the ride back, I was feeling fatigued, I don't know if I could have made it riding 4 hrs straight, so the time stopped wasn't entirely unwelcome. read more

Oh my freakin gawd. I've done a lot of snomobiling but NOTHING at all even close to THIS!!! Did the 4 hour tour. Seriously the way to go because it gives you enough tkme to get up into the mountains, where the deep snow is. they have Awesome, well maintained, zippy and light sleds. But the terrain is world class, and the guides will push you as hard as you want to go. We had Able, who was AMAZING!! We asked for powder, we got POWDER!! He taught us to surf turn in chest high snow, which is really what adventure snomobiling is about. He also got us unstuck about 10 times, and the fact that he took us into terrain where he knew we would get stuck a lot so that we would have An amazing time tells you how awesome this operation is. I seriously can't wait to come back next year and work on my turns. Lasty, the terrain is everything you could ask for, groomed trails, meadows, glades, forest, mountains, lakes, powder. It was amazing all day. Win. read more

Totally AWESOME!!! I highly recommend taking the 4 hour snowmobile tour. This was SO much fun! This is not some boring 10 mph crawl by any means! Jeremy was our guide, and he ROCKS! He definitely knows all of the fun spots to go, and obviously enjoys doing these tours. We hit the groomed trails, played in some soft powder, flew up and over some steep hills, hit a few spots that actually let us catch some air, saw some AMAZING views where we got some really cool pictures, went full speed (like 60-70 mph) down a really long stretch of snow covered road, stopped for lunch at Elk Lake (yum!), and then hit some more awesome trails before returning back. You honestly couldn't ask for a better day! My husband and I booked this for his birthday weekend, and he says it was the best birthday ever and the most fun he has had in a long time. We are already trying to figure out when we can go back and do this again! He actually wanted to go again the next day! If you want to do something super fun, then this is a MUST at Mt. Bachelor! read more

Can any snomobile adventure accomodate a 4 year old--- with parents?
Unfortunately, we require children to be at least 6 years old and 48" tall. They need to be old enough to comprehend to "hang on" and tall enough to have their feet touch the foot well while riding on the back.
