Join us at some of the most remote regions of Canada's Far North!
Led by qualified naturalists, interpreter and photographer trip-leaders, our unique Arctic wildlife photography expeditions are designed to offer the very best photo opportunities while encountering animals in their natural habitat. We accomplish this in a non-harassing and highly ethical manner. If you would like to learn more about our field ethics - click here. First rate mobile tent camps, good quality power boats and occassional on-site aircraft support allow flexibility to move where the animals are! |

Our work begins a few days prior to each trip, when we spend many hours flying aerial reconnaissance and initiating overland explorations to find the best den sites, active wildlife grazing ranges and water crossings. |

These unique adventures begin when our clients make thier own way one of the northern community access points, and board a floatplane charter flight to the camp. These access communities will vary from season to season depending on the trip, and also on the always flucuating charter costs and aircraft availability. On alternating years, some of our access communities we use include Yellowknife, Fort Smith & Lutsel K'e, NWT; Baker Lake and Cambridge Bay, Nunavut; and Stoney Rapids, Saskatchewan. Click here to learn more about how to get us - including maps. |
On the first day of each expedition departure, participants board a charter aircraft to fly air charter distances ranging from 120 to 240 airmiles. Enroute you will pass over the tree-line and land at our main wildlife basecamp on the upper Thelon River, NWT. Once there, comfortable tent quonset accommodations, a spacious new lodge, a hot meal & friendly expert field staff greet you - ready to take you on one of the most incredible wildlife adventures ever!

Many of our wildlife trips offer occassional aircraft support to conduct aerial reconnaissance, or should a medical emergency arise. If the animals should move or thin out too much, we can often move with them! After all, the camps are mobile and we have quality watercraft and occassionally an aircraft on site. |
Our photography expeditions are relaxed and informal,
yet educational. Rich natural and native history along with
intriguing archaeology lend dimension and culture to the main features of
wonderful wildlife encounters and incredible Arctic landscapes! |
 |
|
Our wildlife programs are suitable for all ages in moderate physical condition. You can expect day hikes of three to five km over easy terrain, carrying a day pack and your own camera gear. Most base camps gave a capacity of 12 persons plus the trip leaders and field staff. Wildlife ‘stalks’ for photography are usually undertaken with 3-5 people per leader. |
