Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Arrive in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland aboard your group flight form Paris. Transfer to the ship. An optional discovery of the Polar Cape is offered. Embark between 5 and 6 pm, preparing for the upcoming Arctic adventure!
After sailing close to Inuit territory, Le Boréal continues her route to the vast wild expanses of Arctic Canada. Zodiac outings accompanied by naturalists are your opportunity to explore the village of Kangiqsurjuaq, where fishermen come on board from their canoes, and the majestic rocks of Walrus Island shelter dozens of these impressive sea mammals.
Nestled into Ungava Bay, which separates Nunavik from Baffin Island, Akpatok is an inhabited island whose cliffs soar to more than 200 m in height and stand proud against the opaque, milky waters of the bay. The location is startlingly impressive, animated by the swoops and cries of the thousands of migratory Arctic birds. It’s also one of the walrus’s favourite haunts and a traditional hunting ground for local Inuit.
Here is an excerpt from a naturalist guide, in summer 2011: "At the base of the cliff which forms a natural border for Akpatok, the first bear appeared, like an actor coming onto a stage and, in the most theatrical manner, he struck a pose for the zoom lenses of the watching cameras. A more modest female and her cub strolled across the landscape... nearby, the prehistoric-looking musk appear on their dainty legs and at the cliff tops, hundreds of thousands of guillemots provide an unexpected ‘fireworks’ display, fizzing about the skies and calling wildly."

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
