Inuit Adventures offers visitors an opportunity to observe and photograph Quebec-Labrador's big three among Arctic Wildlife: The polar bear, the musk-ox and the caribou. You will be led through a dynamic circuit that will take you to remote lands, far from man's reach. Constantly in motion aboard a motorized canoe, you will see polar bears off the coast of Ungava Bay as well as musk-oxen on Diana Island where Eider ducks go to nest. At any moment during your stay in Nunavik, you might cross paths with herds of caribou that migrate at this time of year and you may even come across icebergs drifting further offshore.
You will be lodged in a hotel from which you might spot beluga whales, seals and thousands of gulls that reveal the best fishing spots for Arctic char heading towards the sea in schools during the summertime. You can also go out on hikes into the tundra to discover arctic flowers adorned with tiny colorful fruit as you follow the path of the caribou and musk-oxen. In such surroundings, you will be overcome by the beauty of nature in the North.
By the end of your trip in Nunavik, you will feel that a part of you will live on there and you will bring home memories that will be yours forever.

Itinerary
Depart from Montreal's Trudeau airport and fly to Kuujjuaq aboard a Canadian North jet. Flight duration is about 2H15 min. You will then make your connection on an Air Inuit plane to Quaqtaq. Meet your Inuit Adventures guides for a quick tour of the town.
Today, you travel toward Diana Island by freighter canoe at the first high tide. It is not uncommon to see Beluga whales, Musk-oxen and Eider ducks during the trip. Observe how the Inuit carefully remove some of the Eider down from the birds' nests which they will use to make parkas. Hike across Diana Island and discover herds of resident musk-oxen and beautiful Arctic flowers. Then, later in the day, return to Quaqtaq where you will overnight comfortably at the Quaqtaq Co-op Hotel.
During the next two days, a driver will take you out on the road on a 40 km (25 miles) trip outside of the community. The goal is to see nature and to observe wildlife such as owls, foxes, arctic hares, and possibly even polar bears.
Today, your guide will give you a tour of the village followed by a visit to Cape Hopes Advance, to the now-abandoned weather station that operated from 1928 to 1970. From the top of the hill, spot splendid icebergs that often drift at this time of the year. Return to Quaqtaq later in the day.
You begin your return South by flying back to Kuujjuaq where one more adventure awaits you. A guide will meet you to lead you by canoe on a half-day excursion along the Koksoak River. This is one more chance to experience the unique and wonderful scenery of Nunavik. Here the forests meet the tundra and wildlife abounds. Take this opportunity to take pictures that you will cherish. Return to the village where you will overnight at the comfortable Co-op Hotel.
It is already your last day in Nunavik. Before leaving this magical place, tour the village and buy some souvenirs. After a lunch at the hotel, catch your flight back to Montreal.
