Paddle among thousands of remote islands and have the chance to disconnect from the digital world as you paddle through the wide-open water vistas of the North Arm territory under the Aurora Belt. From a paddler’s perspective, the North Arm is a paradise of unexplored islands of glacier carved, Precambrian rock. It’s a wilderness odyssey of narrow channels you’ll navigate with expedition-grade sea kayaks. The numerous channels and bays of the North Arm are an important habitat for breeding birds, and each year attract more than 100,000 northbound migrating waterbirds. You’ll find a stunning variety of birds, such as bald eagles, gulls, terns, ducks, swans and geese. It’s also home to moose, black bears, bison, and wolves. Start your expedition in the morning and head out from the capital city of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife. Your shuttle will take you down the road to "Frank's Channel". From there you will launch into Great Slave Lake and begin your 130 kilometers paddle back to Yellowknife. Camping each night on the many islands of the North Arm, you'll make your way around the historic Old Fort Rae towards the spectacular area known as Trout Rock. After a 10 kilometers section of exposed shore, you'll tuck back into the cover of the thousands of islands in the North Arm. Water clarity improves as you paddle east, through the remote and beautiful wilderness of Great Slave Lake. Have a feeling of accomplishment as you paddle back into Yellowknife Bay. The colorful houseboats and your shuttle will meet you at the main dock. After hot showers, the group will all meet for dinner, cold beer, and final farewells!
