You can follow in the footsteps of seagoing explorers who came here in search of a Northwest Passage to Asia. The people of the Kitikmeot have always navigated the Passage in skin boats, schooners and motor vessels.
There is so much to do in this nature-lovers paradise. You can whale watch from land or sea as pods of belugas play in the rivers running into the bay. Spot polar bears as they prowl the shore waiting for winter ice to form. Visit caribou calving grounds and huge bird sanctuaries. Everywhere you go the fishing is spectacular. You can hike for hundreds of kilometres along rivers unchanged since the ice age.
In April, experience the Arctic from a qamutik (sled) behind an eager team of dogs. You can tour deep fiords or the tundra feeding grounds of Peary caribou. On some tours, you set up a winter camp, then watch the amazing Aurora Borealis.
