Without a doubt, the kayak is one of the Inuit’s most important symbols of ingenuity and adaptation to the environment.

Explore the sea banks, whether they be rocky escarpments or soft sandy shores, there’s a surprise awaiting you at every turn. Follow the rhythm of the tides as you explore, keep eye for sea bird and try to spot the curious seals along the way.

Hiking Excursion

  • Hiking Excursion
Set foot where no one has before. Explore Iqaluit and its surroundings in the company of a local guide. Learn about the flora and fauna while trekking across the tundra. Hike across caribou country, and discover the playground of the Inuit. During the six-hour hike, you will encounter rock embankments, fields of native herbs and flowers, tidal marshlands, ancient Inuit camping grounds, and summits where you can scan the Arctic Ocean.
