Head out onto the Arctic Ocean to experience its vastness and drill a hole in the ice for a chance to dip your toe in the Arctic Ocean.After the pingo tour, your guides will load up to head back onto the Mackenzie Valley Highway towards Inuvik, where, just before reaching the tree-line, you will unload and head out by snowmobile and side by side to see the 2500+ reindeer herd. There you will have lunch in the company of grazing, and relaxing reindeer, then experience herding and interacting with the herd up close. Travel over the tundra back to the highway and finish the drive to Inuvik to spend a leisure night at the Mackenzie Hotel in Inuvik.

This is your day to experience Inuvik through our community cultural tour, see the Igloo Church, buy souvenirs from local craft shops and interact with the locals. At lunch, you will be shuttled back to the airport to catch your flight home. As you leave this remote Arctic region, you will be filled with positive memories and be forever changed by your experiences in this remote region of the world. You may be leaving the Arctic, but these Arctic experiences will always be with you influencing aww-inspiring stories for family and friends for years to come.
