Canoeing & Kayaking in the
Northwest Territories / Nunavut

 

The magical relationship between the paddler, boat, and the waters they navigate is both powerful & unexplainable—it just is. Ecoventures is proud to have been sponsoring unique and wild river expeditions in the North since 1972.

Some of the most incredible wilderness waters in the world are located within the Northwest Territories & Nunavut, Canada!  

Great Canadian Wilderness is proud to offer a variety of river expeditions every season on the Thelon, Snowdrift and other remote Arctic rivers. Our canoe trips vary in length and duration and offer different degrees of tripping expertise. 

  ALL of our unique river expeditions are escorted by some of the best naturalist / canoe trip leaders available in the North, and accordingly these expeditions are educational and rich with natural and native history, archaeology, great fishing and incredible wildlife exposures!
