Simpson Air_Flight Seeing Adventure_2025_3
Embarking on a day of adventure with your floatplane, exploring some of the most stunning sights in the Northwest Territories, promises to be an unforgettable experience.

Starting with a flight to Nailicho (Virginia Falls), you’ll have the opportunity to join a guided day hike to the top of the falls with Parks Canada interpreters. The hike offers breathtaking views and insights into the natural and cultural significance of this majestic waterfall. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also venture to the bottom of the falls on your own, ensuring you return within the allotted time to continue the journey.

Continuing north of the falls, you’ll soar over Gahnihthah Mie (Rabbitkettle Lake), home to one of Canada’s largest and oldest tufa formations. The aerial perspective will provide a unique view of this geological wonder, showcasing its intricate formations and natural beauty.

​Passing the tufa mound, the journey takes you into the Ragged Range, where you’ll marvel at the famous Cirque of the Unclimbables from the air. This iconic landmark is a sight to behold, with its sheer granite walls and rugged terrain captivating adventurers from around the world. A stop at Glacier Lake, with its aqua-colored waters contrasting against the surrounding landscape, offers a moment of tranquility and awe.

​Before returning to Fort Simpson, a stop at Nahanni Mountain Lodge on Little Doctor Lake provides a chance to relax on the sandy beach, perhaps even taking a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters or simply soaking up the sun’s warmth. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploration before heading back to civilization.

​Overall, this day trip promises to be filled with adventure, natural beauty, and unforgettable experiences, showcasing the best that the Northwest Territories have to offer.

Diamonds de Canada

Lands Collection logo_Yellowknife_2024_2

Canada has a deep love for our natural resources with diamonds being the highest expression of love.  Thanks to Canada’s world class standard for sustainable mining, we are custodians of our precious lands and take great pride and care releasing these rare gems.  From the moment our land is surveyed to the final reclamation (the process of restoring the land to its former condition), respect is given to the land that provides life to the diverse ecosystem of the great white north.

With such deep love for our natural resources, even greater care is given to each diamond, releasing the ideal blend of intense fire and brilliance.  Some of our talented polishers have come to the north from around the world with a desire to polish the diamonds from Canada, renown in the polishing communities as optically superior rough crystals.

Based in the capital of the Northwest Territories of Canada, Diamonds de Canada brings experience from both aboriginal and international talent with an expertise to polish beautiful diamonds.  Let us show you the difference.
