NUNAVUT ACTIVITIES
INDEX

At two million square kilometres, Nunavut’s richly textured, stunningly varied landscape is home to some of the world’s most exciting adventure travel.

Hiking
Dotted with precariously poised glacial erratics, the rocky tundra beckons with challenging multi-week hikes, as with Auyuittuq National Park or Bylot Island and Sirmilik National Park. Or try day-long adventures in and around communities, like Gjoa Haven and the nearby storied Northwest Passage.

Climbing

Baffin Island has dramatic mountain ranges for the experienced climber, with big wall Grade VI aid routes on summits throughout Auyuittuq National Park, and new free-climbing Grade IV to V outes in the Weasel Valley and the Sam Fjord area near Clyde River.

Fishing
Sport fishers love jigging through four feet of ice in spring for crimson arctic char, casting a line for trophy lake trout in pristine lakes in summer, or dropping a fly onto the water’s undulating surface to coax the feisty arctic grayling from the deep. True luxury is heli-fishing – using a helicopter to access remote, prime fishing water for non-stop fishing action.

Dogsledding and ski-dooing
The endless snow-blanketed tundra and frozen sea is a skidooer’s dream. For an authentic Inuit experience, take a half-day, day-long or overnight dogsled trip, snuggled up in caribou skins on a qamutik (sled), or basking under magical Northern Lights at night.
