Tundra Tour - Explore the Yellowknife River to the Tree Line and Back - JUN20 TO AUG20 2024

Depart Yellowknife's Back Bay and track the Yellowknife River
(Beg-ho-lo-dessy; River of the toothless fish) northwards.  We will follow
the route of Sir John Franklin's 1820 overland expedition to the Polar Sea and
you will be given the opportunity to observe the various falls, cascades, and
rapids that those who travel the Yellowknife River must contend with.  We
will follow the river right to it's headwaters of Greenstockings Lake. 

Along our route you will get to observe the meeting of the Boreal
Forest and Arctic ecosystems and watch the density and size of trees decrease
as we fly north and become replaced by dwarf shrubs and miniature wildflowers.
Greenstockings Lake is located at the tree-line which divides boreal forest
from tundra.  In mid August, the grasses turn gold and the leaves of the
various bushes take on crimson hues from their summer berries. We will land at
the mid way point of this tour before returning to Yellowknife to provide you
with the opportunity to stretch your legs, take photographs of the unique
landscape and enjoy some light refreshments and snacks.  Feel free to
bring some fishing equipment if you would like to wet a line during our stop
over but if you're going to do so don't forget your fishing licence.

As with our other tours you will get to experience flight on one of our iconic
de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver Aircraft not only providing you with a raven's
eye view of region but also providing you with the experience of taking a step
back in time and enjoying a flight onboard a classic aircraft.  Our Beaver aircraft feature comfortable
interiors, enlarged windows for easy viewing and aviation headsets for all
guests to provide easy communication between guests and the pilot.  Each guest is will be seated at a window
seat.

Our pilots are very proud of their aircraft, their profession and
the region they fly throughout.  We
encourage our guests to ask as many questions as they wish throughout each
tour.  Our pilots will be more than happy
to answer all of your questions about their craft and the region they call
home.
