Arrive in Winnipeg and transfer to your local hotel.
Day 2: Arviat
Depart Winnipeg for Arviat. Arrive at approximately noon. Get settled in your hotel and then visit the local wildlife office to meet with the caribou biologists. A town tour and local Inuit cultural performance and community dinner will round out the evening.
Day 3-5: Caribou Camp
The Qamanirjuaq herd is a healthy population of approximately 350,000 animals that winters below the treeline in Manitoba and Northwest Territories and then journeys each spring north to the calving grounds on the tundra northwest of Arviat. Working in close partnership with the territorial caribou biologists, who have radio-collared a number of the caribou and local Inuit guides, Arctic Land Tours will situate the caribou camp close to the migration route. Guests will experience one of the world’s most fascinating mass migrations outside of the Serengeti up close and personal. The Spring Caribou viewing camp will be set up in advance of your arrival.
On a privately chartered plane, depart Arviat early in the morning and land directly in camp. Before landing in camp, there will be opportunity to take some aerial photographs of the caribou as they stretch from horizon to horizon. Local snowmobiles in camp do conduct daily sorties to where the caribou pass by.
Each day will be spent venturing out from your base camp to photograph and experience the caribou migration. It also possible that you will encounter other tundra species of wildlife: musk ox, wolves, Arctic fox, and grizzly bear.
Day 6: Transfer to Arviat
Have the morning for one last caribou photography opportunity. The bush plane will arrive shortly after noon and transfer back to Arviat. Overnight at the hotel in Arviat.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
