Canoe Canada's Arctic

Fly-in canoe trips on the mainland tundra (or Barren Lands) of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada's Arctic. Paddle the most remote rivers left in the world, deep in the heart of North America's last great wilderness. Explore the Thelon River and other pristine, wild, tundra rivers east of Great Slave Lake that are hundreds of miles from the nearest road or community. Photograph muskoxen, caribou, white wolves (our specialty), moose, grizzlies and wolverines. Warm, dry, sun-drenched summers; gin-clear rivers; green tundra hills blanketed with tiny wildflowers; huge spruce-studded eskers; some of the best sand beaches on the planet; birds everywhere; virgin fishing.

All of our canoeing expeditions (8-12 days) are guided by Alex Hall, wildlife biologist and the Canadian Arctic's first and most experienced canoeing guide. Most people join our trips as singles or in pairs. Maximum number per trip is ten, including Alex, in five canoes. We can accommodate all levels of canoeing experience. Operating since 1974.
