We will start this unique wildllife trip by boarding a float-equpped aircraft at our starting point which varies from season to season (see www.thelon.com/map.htm); to fly 120-240 airmiles out over the remote Arctic tundra known locally as the 'Barrenlands'. Here we will land at our starting point near the Nunavut/ NWT boundary on the Thelon River: one of the most isolated regions in mainland North America!

Here participants will meet with the leaders and equipment, and embark on a truly remarkable exploratory paddle. |
|
En-route we spend time hiking and exploring the magnificent hills, eskers and tundra region, and camp in style amidst the secret hollows and hills... |
|
|
|
Here lies the opportunity to discover ancient archeological sites, and often find arrowheads, spearpoints and tent-rings just scattered about on the ground, as if the ancient Inuit hunters were here just yesterday instead of centuries ago.. |
|
Discover old native gravesites, and turn-of-the-century trappers cabins... |
|
 |
As the
Upper Thelon River is a wildlife-rich region, you may well encounter
musk-oxen,white tundra
wolves near their den sites, raptors, and a variety of exotic shorebirds. |
|
Depending on the route and size of the group, often we provide part-time boat support, or set out food and equipment 'stashes' in advance, making it so we will be able to travel light in the kayaks - averaging 6-10 miles per day, with plenty for wildlife viewing, fishing, exploring or just relaxing! |
 |
 |
Quality camps and abundant fresh-food gourmet meals are prepared & served in 'style' daily, after a long day exploring and paddling the remote waters. |
|
Escorted by qualified kayak instructor and naturalist trip leaders, this is truly a wonderful and unique kayak adventure in Canada's mainland Arctic! |
