Julian and Steve, the dynamic adventure duo! Can’t thank them enough for helping us make the most out of our trek out to Yellowknife! We booked everything with this company- 4 nights of aurora (and saw the fantastic lights every night!) as well as ice fishing, snowmobiling and dogsledding. We even had a chance to do some back country snowmobiling and ice fishing, cooking up what we caught, which was a real surprise. It is certainly a small company which offers the most affordable tours in YK so - but if you keep that in mind and you’re patient and flexible, you’ll have a great time. Julian and Steve were very energetic, personable and all about making sure we had great adventures and memories that will last a lifetime :) I’m sure they get tons of guests each year but for us, when we think back, we’ll always remember how Julian and Steve made the trip a blast!!

What an amazing and AWESOME experience!! Thank you so much Steve for sharing your expertise and being the best guide EVER!! From going over the snowmobiles, to sharing stories, to cooking up some smokies, to stopping on the middle of the lake to look up at the Aurora (twice!), this was truly and unforgettable experience! Steve took dozens of pictures which were wayyyyyy better than anything we got… I would definitely recommend getting the picture package, fully worth every penny 👍

Had a wonderful time. Was just what we wanted Steve was friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we were well versed in operating the machine’s safety

0 stars. They cancelled my booking an hour before and they won’t respond to my request for a refund. I understand things happen but the communication and customer service is horrible. I am still trying to get my refund! We booked with a different company for $15 more at the last minute and had a great time!!

Julian was an amazing guide and took us on an incredible 1 hour tour. The tour started with a prompt complimentary pick up from our hotel. We were provided with very well maintained new equipment including heated helmets and handlebars.These allowed for an enjoyable ride in the cold. I booked this tour with my adult son and Julian was able to provide an enjoyable experience for both of us allowing him to speed through the trails, powder, and across lakes while I was able to tag along at a slower more comfortable pace. He was able to safely guide both of us and allowed for a safe exciting experience! This tour was a great value and priced low for a private tour. Would not hesitate to use this guide !!! Thanks Julian :)

This tour with Julian was absolutely perfect. He picked us up from our Airbnb and greeted us with a big smile. When we arrived we were given helmets and a quite brief introduction on how to operate the snowmobile. Julian mentioned that it was easy to steer but I surely hat my problems at first. I am used to driving a motorbike and using my body weight which is absolutely not possible with a snowmobile. You really have to steer quite hard. Julian gave me some extra tips and after 10 mins I got a lot better an towards the end I felt comfortable and could go a lot faster. A 2 hour tour would have been perfect. But even the one hour tour was perfect for an introduction and our group came back with smiling and excited faces. The tour started at around 3:30pm which was awesome because we got to drive in the afternoon/evening sun. Even though this wasn't a private tour, we were only three people so it was really personal. An absolute bonus were the heated helmets and blankets. I didn't feel cold once. If I come back, I would book my tour with Julian again!

We had a fabulous tour over the lakes and through the forest. Skidoos were really fun. You have to be careful to steer them correctly in the thick snow. The heated helmets were a great idea! Justin went out of his way to help my daughter get to grips with driving the skidoo once we were on the lake. She was able to build her confidence and ride it alone. As it was a private tour we were able to determine the pace and also stop to take drone footage. If you would like to see it on YouTube search up 'Yellowknife Canada Skidoo Trip'

Great experience with Julian and his team. Enjoyed the 3 nights we did the Aurora viewing with the 2nd night the best. Cold temps but we were well catered for! Also did the snowmobile tour which was a great experience. Highly recommend using these guys!

What an adventure! We did 2 nights in a row to play all our chances to see the Aurora and, under the guidance of Roland and Katy, we managed to see the aurora both nights. But what stands out of all the experience is the uncertainty of the chasing the aurora. Roland and Katy both night made all the effort possible in order to find the best spots and the best conditions (they managed to find clear skies even on a cloudy night) to catch a glimpse of the Aurora. We'll keep this experience in our heart! Ciao e grazie from Italy!

Highly recommend this tour and operator- could not have had a better experience and nicer guide. The tour is fun and takes you across lakes and through the woods. The tour is private so the speed is catered to the group and evereyone was comforatble with the pace and had a blast.

I went out on this ride solo and together there’s a family of three. Julian was our guide, he kept the orientation short and clear, reminding us again and again to follow his lead and don’t go off the trail and we would have a great time. It was a glorious day to ride on the lake and through the forest trails. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had; The sun sipping in between the branches and with a small turn, you entered this open snowy land gilded with gold, with the moon on the other end of the sky, it was just amazing. On the way Julian stopped and pointed out food prints of the wolves and fox, also he kept looking over his shoulder to make sure we were all doing fine. When he felt like we’ve got the hang of it he also let us go faster on the road, I think I can speak for both me and the 8 years old boy that we had a blast!!! If you want to experience snowy land in a fun, exciting way! I definitely recommend you give this a try!!!!! Ps the heated hand holder was a biiiig bonus , I was warm and comfy through the whole ride.

This review is for the overall experience that is JULIAN. I am rewriting my review after giving it thought because I totally understand now the situation while we were visiting. I will start by saying this company offers the most competitive rates and the concept of aurora chasing has been perfected by Julian. He is all encompassing/ the scheduler, accountant, driver, conceptualizer, aurora chaser, hot chocolate maker ( although he does outsource the cookies and does not offer clam chowder), photographer, activity drop off person. I think he is sincere and scientific in his efforts of aurora chasing and the dog sledding ( the puppies at the kennel were adorable) and ice fishing activities were pretty good. I would end by saying - if ( the big if) everything works out- this is an awesome experience and hopefully Julian gets some help to smooth things out but his personality makes up for the little bumps in the road. Definitely give Julian a try because he has a very personalized and experienced approach to aurora chasing. Including some pics from the tour- the little tent on the lake offered the perfect backdrop for a level 6 aurora on our trip. His dad is pretty awesome too!

We did the aurora tour (separate review for that) and this snowmobile experience with Julian. He is friendly when you meet him. BUT! Don’t do anything to piss him off. He becomes incredibly unprofessional. It was just the three of us on this tour. Unfortunately, my friend’s snowmobile flipped while we were riding thru a narrow trail. Now, everything is completely covered in snow so there are places where PILES of snow will cover edges of the trail that dip. One of her skis must have gone over the ledge and she flipped. Boy, did that piss him off! We even helped him get the snowmobile propped back up and it rode fine. No thanks or anything. He basically said he’s ending the tour but he’d give us a second chance so we could ride back (like, wow thanks. Not sure what other options you would have had. Pretty sure he would have love to just leave us there). And he LITERALLY did not say one word back on the ride back or the car ride back to the hotel. Not ONE. Now, I get being upset at seeing your expensive equipment turned over in the snow and possibly damaged. But you have a business, we supported your business, and sh*t happens. This probably wasn’t the first time and likely won’t be the last. My friend was not being reckless, she is very cautious and was driving very slowly. This was an accident. He didn’t give us much instruction at the start and while it’s not difficult to drive (it’s just one gas button), the steering CAN be hard for some (my arms were getting tired) and for the short folks, I’d HIGHLY recommend standing while riding so you can see above the dirty screen and thus see the terrain your snowmobile is about to go over. I’ve fallen on motorcycles before: it’s super traumatic. You feel bad and embarrassed. Fortunately, my instructors have been kind and gracious about it because, again, things like this just happen. But Julian basically did not give an ounce of concern for my friend’s safety or our experience. Laughably, at the start he said “this is your tour, make it your own”. But as soon as I drove a few inches to his right, he scolded me to stay behind him. What the heck?! We paid a lot of money to be here and be on this tour and I don’t expect the tour guide to act like a jerk and ruin my experience. Very awkward, very unprofessional. Plenty of other snowmobile companies here, do NOT recommend this one especially if you don’t know how to handle a snowmobile.

The entire experience was just awesome. Take this tour and you get to experience something special! I was supposed to take a tour by another company but got left behind. And this tour arrived at my hotel’s lobby. The guide, Julian was so kind enough to let me join his tour last minute. We were so lucky to be able to see the aurora and some wildlife. Really appreciate his efforts and generosity so that we could spot breathtaking auroras.

We booked the Northern Lights Experience, which included airport pickup, 2 nights hotel, and two nights aurora viewing. Everything was wonderful. Julian was organized and response pre-trip. During our visit, we saw the lights really well on the first night. Julian's passion for the aurora really added to the experience, and he sent us photos afterwards. We highly recommend this company.
