5Snow mobile on the lake and trail
Had a blast!! Liang was very patient and welcoming!
5Great team bondong experience with Destination NWT
Our Judo Club did a snowmobile and Ice fishing event with Destination NWT. The attention to detail on the snowmobile operation and safety was great! My youngest son had previously been terrified of riding on a snowmobile and he was begging to rip around the lake by the end of the day! My oldest, who had to be dragged out there, had the time of his lefe driving his own snowmobile. The beautiful ice fishing shacks were ready for fishing and nice and warm upon our arrival. We caught a really nice size white fish. This was a great team bonding experience. Thank you so much Destination NWT for the wonderful day and friendly service!

5Bumpy Trails & Fast Lake Speeds—Perfect for Beginners
I had an unforgettable time on this snowmobiling tour. For a first-timer, the professional guide was excellent at building my confidence and providing safety instructions. I really appreciated them running the tour despite not having the minimum number of people. The variety of terrain was great: the trails were bumpy but fun, and I liked that I could go at my own pace without feeling rushed. The lake section was smooth, fast, and exciting, allowing us to go up to 35km/h. A perfect, safe adventure for beginners!

About Yellowknife
Yellowknife, capital of Canada's Northwest Territories, sits on the shore of Great Slave Lake and is known for its gold-mining past and northern lights.
Yellowknife grew in the 1930s after gold was found on the north shore of Great Slave Lake, and it became the territorial capital in 1967. Old Town, on a rocky peninsula, holds floatplane docks, houseboats moored in the bay and weathered log buildings. The Bush Pilot's Monument on the Rock looks across the water, and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre tells the story of the territory's Indigenous peoples.
Top-ranked sights in Yellowknife: Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (PWNHC).
