All Season Outdoor Adventure

Take your choice of vacation highs in the Northwest Territories. There are packages that suit all tastes and abilities, from relaxed to high octane.

Visit a wilderness lodge in winter to see the aurora overhead and play in the snow. Drive a dog team, or ski across a frozen lake. In summer, travel the Arctic coast, the Barrenlands, or the mountains with our outfitters to see our wildlife roaming free. Spot songbirds, geese and ducks by the thousands nesting on tundra and lakes. Hike in a national park at the top of the world, or hike the Canol Trail, one of the toughest treks in North America.

Challenge a wild northern river that few have ever travelled. Our experienced outfitters provide all the gear and will even teach you to navigate the wild waters.

Check out our packages, and contact our operators. We can guarantee the outdoor adventure of a lifetime.
