Such a fun experience! I had never driven a snowmachine before and was nervous at first, but Andy and Zana were very helpful and patient. We rode more than 40 miles one way of frozen lake and single tracks combined to reach Tazlina Glacier, which was honestly one of the most impressive glaciers I’ve seen in Alaska. It was the perfect mix of adventure and scenery, and by the end of the day I felt much more confident riding. Definitely opened the door for me to try more snowmachine trips in the future. Would absolutely recommend!

Tazlina Glacier snowmobile ride was more than just a sled ride—it was an unforgettable experience. From cruising through scenic wooded trails to opening it up across the lake, every part of the ride was incredible. The highlight? The glaciers. Getting to explore under, over, in, and through them truly felt like visiting one of the wonders of the world. Miles of stunning beauty, wildlife everywhere, and views that were absolutely breathtaking. The photos you’ll take here are something you’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for an epic snowmobile adventure, this is the ride you don’t want to miss

We had the best time with Zana and Andy! A beautiful ride out to Nelchina glacier, we had time to play around and test out our deep powder skills- lots of laughs and fun all day. We had several hiccups getting scheduled due to unexpected colds and flus in my family and Andy was very accommodating and helpful getting us rescheduled. I would highly recommend this company for any skill level, they made it so easy for us to get out and play and their extra warm gear kept us cozy.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY. Zana and Andy were both amazing guides. They were kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Our day felt long and fulfilling. They took amazing photos throughout the day to help us cherish this beautiful day and brought us snacks and warm beverages. The route to the glacier was through a beautiful forest and had amazing mountain views the whole time to the glacier. Thank you Zana and Andy! We would totally book again.
