SCHEDULE

Arrive either via scheduled commercial airline service or via private jet to the Arctic in Iqaluit, NU (YFB). On clearing customs in Iqaluit (YFB), you will fly by private charter of an aircraft of your choosing to Pond Inlet (YIO) – a short 3 hours north to 72 degrees latitude.

From Pond Inlet, you will then fly once more 25 minutes with a turbo single otter and/or helicopter to your exclusive Arctic Kingdom Safari camp on sea ice at floe edge – top of Baffin Island, Canada. The only camp of its kind in the world. The camp location has never before been used for private use. This location has been used by Disney Nature ‘Oceans’, and most recently in 2015, by National Geographic to film ‘The Last Ice’.

SCHEDULE The floe edge is where two worlds meet – the world of the frozen sea ice where polar bears roam, and the world of the open sea, where hundreds of the mystical narwhal swim. Kayak amongst surreal pack ice under the midnight sun and it may be possible that a Narwhal or beluga appear infront or directly beneath.

SCHEDULE Snorkel with Beluga and Narwhal. Watch as they turn upside down on their backs. And look up at you. Beluga are the only whales that can bend their necks like a dolphin. The ‘dance’ with the beluga begins as you turn right, they turn right, if you turn left, they turn left. The connection with man and whale is unmistakable, and sure to leave you hooked on the Arctic forever.

SCHEDULE The hiking on the tree-less tundra is an absolute must do. Whether we access the hiking locations by snowmobile or via helicopter – the silence and sheer grandioseness of the arctic is something to be discovered and savoured. The feeling of peaceful isolation, where no human stands near you for hundreds of kilometers can only be found in the Arctic. The only people who have walked these mountains are Inuit and their ancestors. Visit old Inuit tent rings and discover Inukshuks – piles of stone that were the tools of navigation and survival for the Inuit that enabled them to mark trails, food caches or good hunting grounds. Best of all, this country is all yours alone to discover.

SCHEDULE Enjoy traditional dogsledding from the comfort of your remote safari camp. Arctic Kingdom will fly in by plane 2 teams of 14 dogs into the safari camp. The traditional dogsled teams will be available for the duration of the stay to use when time and activity schedule permits

SCHEDULE More people have been to the moon than have hot air ballooned in the Arctic. Be one of the few to experience the silent mode of transport over leads, cracks and pancakes of ice – maybe even float directly above a polar bear! Arctic Kingdom will provide a hot air balloon, air balloon pilot and fly propane in from Ottawa for the hot air balloon. The hot balloon pilot is extremely experi- enced in Arctic ballooning and has conducted numerous solo expeditions

SCHEDULE Zip along the frozen sea ice along with your experienced Inuit guides to explore the floe edge and high arctic terrain on your high powered snowmobiles. Packing a day lunch, we travel caravan style to access areas that may never have seen a human or snowmobile track before. Never driven a snowmobile before? No problem. With our experience guides we’ll teach you in no time! A snowmobile is an easy machine to learn how to drive with only a throttle and brake. There is no gear changing that you would need to master. Arctic Kingdom can teach you in less than 10 minutes how to drive a snowmobile. Depending on the snowmachine models available, 2 people can ride on one machine. Get ready to experience the Arctic in high adrenaline style. This really puts the arctic in your hands.

SCHEDULE Inuit have lived thousands of years in the Arctic environment. They are still living off the land in the north as they did generations ago. Our guides are seasoned Inuit guides and hunters. Learning from them and their way of life is a highlight of the trip. From watching them expertly maneuver dog teams, to wearing traditional seal skin parka’s. We can have customized tailored parka’s made for everyone on the trip to enjoy the warmth of traditional Inuit attire

SCHEDULE Depart Safari camp by helicopter or turbo single otter, transfer to Iqaluit by private charter and return home from the Arctic.
