Highlight of our CO trip!

Highlight of our Colorado trip! Our 14yo and 9yo had a blast. The equipment was in very good condition. The guide was excellent at communicating and managing the group, as well as enjoyable and friendly. The route was scenic, not too intimidating even for us novices, but still plenty of fun for the more adventurous. Worth every penny. A great option for non-skiers or to take a break from the ski resort.

BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE

The coolest experience of our LIVES. Went with a few friends of mine and couldn't have had a better time - I was a little nervous to do the unguided tour but immediately felt so safe after the guide taught us how to operate the vehicle. I'd do this excursion again in a heartbeat!

Awesome Experience with Nova Guides!

While most of my family had never been on snowmobiles, we chose the self-guided 2-hour tour and weren't disappointed! The staff are all characters and Spoon gave us great advice on where to go and we loved having the freedom to explore the mountains and trails on our own. The snowmobiles were modern and the handlebar heaters were almost too hot on a cold December morning! Great experience that we won't forget and will definitely visit again!

Best trip Ever

The snowmobile tour was an experience of a lifetime. At first I was so nervous about a 3 hour tour but by the time we were finishing up I didn't want it to end. We had the best tour guide and even though it was extremely windy and snowy, that made the ride all that much better. We would highly recommend doing the afternoon ride because riding at dusk and then with the snow made it all that much more magical. We will be doing this tour again!

Look no further, snowmobiling is the way to go!

We had an amazing time snowmobiling for the first time with our 11 and 5 year old! Check in was easy, staff was VERY patient as we took some time to get our cold weather gear on. Safety was explained well and all our questions were answered. I recommend the self-guided tour to be able to go at your pace and choose where you want to go on the map. The scenery and the ride were just incredible...an unforgettable experience! Thanks Nova Guides!

Bucket list

Awesome experience! Friends & I traveled from La to Co. No snow in the city so it was quite the treat. We spent 2 hrs on the snowmobile but highly recommend spending the extra hundred for the extra hour. Staff was very helpful & Jacob our tour guide was very informative. Camp hale has some neat history, go check it out!

Wonderful jeep tour experience!

My wife and I went on a jeep tour yesterday. The scenery was incredible, and the ride was a real experience. Best part of the tour was our guide, Dimitri. Incredibly knowledgeable, super-personable, and a wealth of experience that us city folk could hardly imagine! All-around great tour- would definitely do it again. Thank you, Dimitri!

Great ATV tour

Heard about Nova Guides from a family we met while zip lining in Wolcott. Did the ATV tour - Adam was our driver / guide / host for the day & he was fantastic!!! We opted to have Nova pick us up & drop us off in Avon. The tour was so much fun & the views were fantastic!! Plus Adam was a wonderful wild life scout and pointed out both a marmot & a pica. Highly recommend. We shared an ATV but would absolutely each rent our own next time. Hoping we make it back to do snowmobiling!
