Northern Canada
Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut

The Northwest Territories is a land of contrasts. It is 1.17 million square kilometres of mountains, forests and tundra threaded by wild, clean rivers feeding thousands of pristine lakes. Over 40,000 people live amid this rugged natural beauty. Nature is in balance here. You can view rare wildlife species, from white wolves to white whales, and see herds of bison, prowling bears, moose and caribou by the thousands.

There is no more romantic experience on earth than sleeping on spruce bows beside a wood-burning stove in an authentic prospector’s tent under the shimmering Northern Lights. The swish of your dogsled, a private wilderness camp for two, a luxurious post and beam lodge, a bush plane flight across the permafrost.

See the sky come alive with ghostly colours as you view the Aurora Borealis from Blachford Lodge, the best viewing spot in the world.

Smell the rich aromas of your lake trout as it roasts over the open fire in your private wooded camp.

Taste a succulent morsel of caribou braised in red wine as it melts in your mouth during a romantic fireside dinner.

Touch the rough surface of a northern Canadian raw diamond and hold it up to the cutting blade as you begin the process of crafting your own personal gemstone.

Hear the muted sounds of snow crunching underfoot as the eager dogs carry your sled across the ice field of Great Slave Lake.
