We were two Belgian families with no experience both with canoeing and camping, but our guide Mason ('amazing Mason') took us under his wings. It resulted in a great trip (good food, nice views and some adventure). Thanks a lot!

This company answered all my questions before the trip very quickly. Thanks to Karin. The Arctic Adventure was incredible for me. As a Canadian - the history, the First Nation communities, the scenery - stepping into the Arctic Ocean, being in Tuktoyaktuk, etc. I must mention our Tour Guide Leo. He did an amazing job of driving The Dempster under sometimes difficult circumstances. I felt very safe during our travels. Thanks to you, Leo.
