This tour takes you to the floe edge on a five day/four night camping trip using large sleds pulled by small snowmobiles. The highlight of the trip is to observe the seals and whales waiting for the ice to melt in order that they may enter the rich feeding grounds of Lancaster and Eclipse Sounds, Navy Board Inlet and Milne Inlet where the Narwhal will have their young. We may also sight Walrus, Polar Bear, and the rare Bowhead Whale. Migratory arctic birds are numerous, stopping off at the floe edge to scavenge from the bears hunting seals. Join us on this spectacular journey to the best of arctic wildlife encounters.
