Combo Activity – Dog Sledding and Snowmobiling

The perfect activity for groups of 4, this offers you the best of both worlds… old and new. Two participants will depart on a dog sled with a guide, the remainder of the group will follow on snowmobiles. Both groups will meet up for the mid-break lunch. Following the break the groups switch positions, with the snowmobilers returning on the qamutiik (sled) and the other group experiencing the thrill of the snowmobile.
