Don't miss the trip to Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk
I went for Tundra North’s Reindeer Signature Package tour in mid-January this year and enjoyed all the thrill-elements and unique experience. I have been to many adventurous tours in different parts of the world and found this trip to the Arctic area very interesting. It is great that both Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk provide good internet connection so that I can work and play without any problem. There is no need to worry about the bitter cold as everything is well taken care of, including warm bedding inside the igloo. Noel and Jerry fed me with good knowledge of the culture they are proud of, Brandon made sure I did not miss the northern light on the first night sleeping over in the igloo, Bruce took me out dog-sledding and snowmobiling in Tuk with a lot of fun, and Michelle cooked a good meal with caribou steak and muktuk. Ice road, sleeping in an igloo, building igloo on a frozen lake, local food, viewing northern light, new highway joining Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk, and walking on the frozen Arctic Ocean are things tourists must do. In this time of year with short day light, the sun is always just above the horizon and I took many “sunrise” and “sunset” pictures. Although there is a little foible that the reindeer herd was beyond reasonably safe distance to visit, Kylik honestly refunded me a reasonable amount to reflect the missed fun. I travelled solo and got picked up and dropped off at Inuvik airport without any problem. People are nice and I did not have to worry too much about safety. I am planning to go back there for some wildlife fun in different season.

Trip Highlight!!
We spent 4 weeks traveling to the Yukon, NWT, and Alaska and this tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We took the plane ride to Tuk and back and opted not to do the river cruise. Our goal was to see a northern community and walk into the Arctic Ocean. This company is very efficient, friendly, and thorough. We would definitely travel with them again, if given the chance. It was worth every penny. In all there were 5 of us plus the pilot in our little plane. The flight was smooth (a bit noisy as is to be expected in a small plane) and enjoyable. It took almost an hour to fly over the delta and arrive in Tuk. Be sure and have your camera handy so you can get pictures of the pingoes and the MacKenzie as you fly over it. Joanne from Joanne's taxi met us at the little Tuk airport and gave us a complete tour of the town. At her home on the Arctic Ocean we sampled muk tuk after wading into the cool water. She also took us to the permafrost freezer which some of us opted to not enter. For those who did, it was a cold and nifty experience. Do not miss the chance to see Tuk and learn about the people in this area. Use Up North Day Tours for the experience of a lifetime.
