These caribou belong to the Quebec/Labrador George River Caribou herd and they migrate upwards of 6000 km a year traveling between Quebec and Labrador. The herd is estimated to be about 800,000 animals and transportation by snowmobile allows you to see possibly thousands at one time. Beside the caribou on this tour you are likely to see wolves, foxes, Willow Ptarmigan and the location is excellent for viewing the aurora borealis. You will also experience the true beauty of the Labrador wilderness as you ride your snowmobile through this vast winter wilderness. Labrador is famous for its great hospitality and everyone who visits will be treated to this hospitality every day as well as great home cooked meals.
