Had a great time, a good balance between rest and activities, and delicious food!
Algonquin Log Cabin 3-Day Canoe and Hike AdventureThis 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.
Arctic Summer Explorer | Road to the Arctic SeaThe trip was outstanding....the hotel was great, the guides for our Auroras hunting nights were pleasant, knowledgeable and fun. We got Auroras in the first five minutes on night one and we were thrilled!
