Itinerary

Day 1

After an early Ottawa departure you will arrive in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut. Choose from many different hotels and get your first experience of the high arctic.

Day 2 

Our guides will meet you at the Arctic Bay airstrip and right away we will organize to travel on the ice to camp. We will board the Baffin Safari snow mobiles and Inuit sled’s for an adventurous journey to our Base Camp. You will be able to take in the magnificent landscapes that surround you while you get a sense of the adventurous spirit that comes with exploring this sometimes challenging region. Our base camp location occasionally changes based on ice and weather conditions, but don’t worry, all are stunning locations.

Day 3-6

Weather permitting, every day we explore the frozen ocean - including the floe edge - for bears, whales, walrus, fox , seals and birds. Arctic life and beauty is in abundance where the open sea meets the thick frozen ice. No trip to the Arctic is complete without scouting the Floe Edge in search of a variety of Arctic wildlife and marine mammals.

We hope to have you sitting only a few feet away from feeding Narwal and Beluga whales as floating ice packs and crystal blue hues create the most perfect photo opportunities. Polar Bears, seals and walrus can also be spotted but seldom come as close.

Day 7 

Returning to "A Bay"  from the Baffin Safari Base Camp, you will check into a hotel before dinner. The evening is available to explore this artistic Inuit hamlet. Take some time to purchase some Inuit crafts and souvenirs or simply see a different way of life. It is here that you will truly realize that we are guests of a magical place.

Day 8

Head back to Iqaluit and then Ottawa. Today, the Baffin Safari team will be sad to see you leave, but we’ll be happy in the knowledge that you have taken the time to ‘experience’ this Arctic region with us, a region that we are so passionate about.
