You've never experienced anything like it!

With a culture born from the harsh realities of surviving on the land and thriving for thousands of years, the people of Canada's arctic share a warmth and friendliness with every visitor. Iqaluit boasts a strong community of Inuit hunters, crafts people, artists and guides.

You can share that culture through informal visits to historical and cultural venues, or through guided trips and cultural events. A simple stroll around town often reveals artists and carvers creating their masterpieces on their front porch. Caribou can be seen grazing on the fringes of town. The hardiest of adventurers can arrange for guided dog sledding trips, overnight stays in igloos or a multitude of other activities.

For those who seek out the natural wonders of the north, your adventure starts at our doorstep. Year round activities are available - from fishing, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking and snowmobiling to sightseeing flights over Nunavut's spectacular glaciers and Territorial and National Parks. Wildlife viewing and the chance to see the spectacular Aurora Borealis in all its arctic glory may be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
