View northern wildlife in the sub-arctic!
This tour will give you the opportunity
to fly out of Yellowknife across the barren lands to
locate caribou and other wildlife.
Barren ground caribou number over 500,000
and migrate south from the Arctic coast during the fall
season. The number of animals that you may see in a
herd will vary, but usually average between 15-150 caribou
at a time.
The caribou is called tuktuk
by the Inuit people, :ek-wo by the dogrib
people and were referred to as reindeer
by European explorers. Barren-ground caribou have the
largest antlers in relation to their body size of any
species of deer in the world and are the only species
in which the females grow antlers.
