Dance with Wolves!
Join Great Canadian Wildlife Adventures in Canada’s Far North
to see wild wolves
& their pups
during the den cycle,
caribou, musk-oxen & beautiful tundra landscapes
under the midnight sun!
|
|
Wild wolves remain one of the world's most intelligent and elusive creatures. Following centuries of persecution, hunting, and even sanctioned poisoning by trappers, ranchers and intolerant Governments throughout the world - the wilds of Northern Canada remain one of the last strongholds - and even there wolves rightfully tend to be shy of humans and their activities.
|
|
Great Canadian Wildlife Adventures is proud to boast that we are one of the only companies anywhere that offers a high degree of success to encounter wild wolves in their natural habitat. We accomplish this without the use of any artificial means such as captivity, feeding or implanted radio devices. Instead, we take advantage of traditional wilderness knowledge of consistent migratory, hunting and den cycle activities of wolves, that we have learned over nearly four decades of bush flying & guiding in the remote Arctic & sub-Arctic regions of Canada. |
|
Join us this Arctic spring on the magnificent mainland tundra of northern Canada for a wonderful Arctic wildlife & naturalist adventure under the midnight sun!

|
Featured on this unique wildlife tour are tundra white wolf dens sites that have been active over the past several years due to the stability of the local caribou population Those who are diligent will often see adult wolves and their pups during the primary and secondary stage den cycles. Wolves are very elusive, and we never know how close you can get from season to season - but we definitely offer one of the very best chances to see wolves in the true wild! |

We will start this unique wildllife adventure by boarding a charter aircraft or boat at a remote northern settlement that offers the best access distance to the wolf dens from season to season, and embark on a 100-250 km journey to the remote sub-Arctic tundra known locally as the 'Barrenlands'. We will then land at one of our remote wildlife camps - uniquely situated at one of the most isolated regions in mainland North America!
Click here to learn more about how to travel to join our wolves trips. Once at the wildlife camp located at one of the last true wild wolf ranges remaining in the world, we typically offer comfortable & catered tent-camp accommodations including private sleeping tents, dining & shower facilities. Depending on the site, we also provide an array of equipment on site such as boats and camping equipment to enhance the expeditions; to explore new areas and to seek other dens & wildlife. Occassionally when the situation demands it, we set up ground tent 'spike camps' to maximize wildlife viewing. Click here to learn more about our wildlife camps facilities & services.

What some of our clients have to say about our special wild wolves trips:
|
'Caribou & Wolves - 'The Deadly Dance' Great Canadian Wildlife Adventures was proud to facilitate cinematographer Jeff Turner and crew of River Road Films to several wild wolf den sites, and to the Great Summer Caribou migration. Jeff got some awesome footage - with several grizzlies coming in to a remote water crossing to feed in several caribou that were stuck in the boulders of a creek crossing. During the spring of 2004, Jeff also got some quality wolf pup footage on the Thelon. The wildlife documentary was aired in 2005 in the US on Animal Planet and in the UK on BBC2 on a series called "The Natural World". Jeff had this to say about his trips with us: "I have filmed wolves, caribou and grizzly bears in many areas of the Canadian Arctic over the past 15 years and I have to say that the area around the Thelon River is without a doubt the most beautiful piece of Arctic tundra I have ever experienced. It is a world class wilderness with some of the planets most spectacular scenery and wildlife that is hard if not impossible to see anywhere else. I know of no other place where you can go and watch wild wolves around their den. Wolves are one of the most difficult animals to get close to in the wild and Tom and his crew have been doing it here for years. That says a lot about their sensitivity and success as wildlife guides. Tom and his crew at Great Canadian Wildlife Adventures are ideally placed to give access to this wonderful landscape. There is no-one with more experience and knowledge of the area and they have setup a comfortable, warm and homey camp with good food and facilities in the middle of this wilderness. They live lightly on the land here trying always to keep the imprint of man to a minimum in this pristine place. I admire and appreciate the work they do and wish them much success in the future." Jeff Turner |
