our equipment & staff




Our guides are experienced and fully prepared to make your tour a safe, pleasurable and memorable adventure. Each tour begins with a thorough safety and operational instruction and test drive to ensure everyone is aware of safe riding techniques and the mechanical operation of the ATV.

We provide helmets, safety goggles and gloves for the protection of each rider. Equipment boxes on the guide machines contain First Aid boxes, tools,  refreshments and also a place where clients can stow cameras, sun block, extra clothing, etc. and keep it clean.

We recommend you wear long pants, hiking or sturdy footwear (boots are best), and a long sleeved shirt or light jacket.

Our customer ATVs are current model, 4 wheel drive, fully automatic, Honda Canadian Trail Edition  420 (power steering) & 400 cc machines and are very easy for first-time riders to learn on and extremely capable of tackling the toughest trails in Canada.

We take our customer's comfort and safety seriously!

The 'Fleet'.

  

 
 

Depending on weather conditions, rain gear and cold weather clothing may be required!

YOU WILL GET DIRTY!

Don't forget your camera!
