Hiking near the Arctic Circle is an awe-inspiring experience. Somerset Island offers the potential sightings of musk ox, polar bears and beluga whales off the shore.

Arctic & Northern Hiking

The remote nature of the Arctic makes hiking the north a special experience. The sound of the wind or the call of a rare marine bird is a reminder you’re one of very few who have walked these parts. Whether you arrive in the Arctic via a cruise expedition, or it’s a one-off activity on another kind of trip to the north, you’ll be sharing your hiking adventure with family and friends for years to come.
