Take a Tour or Drive Yourself

If you like to take to the open road, this is the place for you. There are no four-lane interchanges here, just wide-open spaces beside our highways. And out on the water, you can boat for hours without seeing another soul. But as you travel, you are likely to see wildlife – bison and bears and foxes along the highways, eagles and osprey, otters and muskrat along our waterways.

You can travel on your own, or set out on a guided adventure. Our tour operators can help you make the most of your northern adventure. Take a sightseeing tour in one of our communities, to learn about our history and how we live here in Canada’s north. Drive a dogteam, or go on a guided hike. Take a flightseeing tour to see some of our natural wonders. You’ll be amazed at the size of our land. Go boating for an hour, or a day with one of our experienced captains. You can travel the Mackenzie Delta, one of our massive lakes, a mountain river, or the broad Mackenzie River.

Just a short trip with one of our friendly guides will give you an appreciation for the lifestyle and knowledge northerners take for granted. And you’ll begin to engage with the landscape, the rugged and beautiful wilderness that northerners love and protect. You’ll come away refreshed and re-energized.
