Traveler reviews
First-time driving but the guide staff explained everything clearly and let us practice, so it felt safe and fun.
The snowy scenery was beautiful — I just wish there were more photo stops.
Great experience overall, would definitely come back again!
Snomobiling was a wonderful experience for our family group provided us with a welcome break from skiing and some new stunning scenery away from the crowds. Very clear instructions from the friendly team and quality Ski-doos. So much fun to go fast towards the end! Excellent customer service for the booking, including changes that needed to be made. Can't recommend this enough.
Kushal was an awesome Snowmobile guide! He was friendly, helpful and fun. We had so much fun and it was so pretty riding through the trees.
If you’re a first timer in ski or snowboarding, this place is a perfect place to learn. They have a wide track for beginners, an some of easy track up the hill. So you wont get stuck on the bottom of the hill every time. They have international instructor as well, who has so many experiences. They all profesional and friendly as well. To be said, this is the best experience ever!
We had so much fun rafting!! We did not know there was so much to do at Hanazono in summer! Our guide Bhupan was so good and experienced! On our first experience there was a little boy(under 3) with us and Bhupan was careful to make sure the boy and his parents were safe. My husband and I were so impressed we signed up again 2 days later and we were extremely happy to get Bhupan again. This time it was us and my adult son and because there were no little ones on board, he made the experience different and thrilling! Such a wonderful time! Please thank Bhupan and the team again for their wonderful service and care! The photographer was also so professional and helpful! And his pictures are gorgeous! We will definitely be back!
