Seal Cache Island

Testimonials

Many of our guests return many times to savour the delights of the natural world around Bathurst Inlet. Some guests are amazed at the adaptations of plant life, others are struck by the variety of bird life in the arctic summer and still others are enchanted by the opportunity to creep up on a grazing muskox, or spy a band of caribou browsing tasty summer plants.

“Some days, everywhere you looked was a photograph waiting to be captured: redpolls, white crowned sparrows, and yellow warblers, all the way up to ptarmigan and of course, the caribou! What a thrill this has been! We're so glad that you shared it with us. ”

“I’ve traveled the Arctic on skis, crampons, snowshoes, by qamutik and raft, but never have I had a chance to learn as much or interact in a meaningful way with the people who call this harsh, beautiful land home. Thank you, Sam, Jason and all of the Inuit, and especially Page. ”
