Depart from Montreal P.E. Trudeau Airport aboard a Canadian North jet for a 2H:20 flight to Kuujjuaq, Ungava Bay. In Kuujjuaq, you are greeted by an Inuit Adventures’ guide who will accompany you for the duration of your trip. In the afternoon, you will enjoy listening to Elders as they recount some of the incredible stories of their youth when they were nomads and hunting for their subsistence. The stories of their life growing up in the region will fascinate you.

At night, away from the hustle and lights of the village, you have a chance to see the bright aurora borealis in the clear dark sky.

Leave the village at high tide aboard a freighter canoe or by snowmobile depending on the season, towards Old Fort Chimo located on the left bank of the Koksoak River. Visit the archeological remains of this area and explore the first HBC trading post where the fur trade business in Nunavik first started around 1830. It was only between 1950 and 1958 that the population established the settlement where Kuujjuaq is presently located. Visit the wreckage of the WWII US Navy frigate Upshur. As you return by canoe or snowmobile to Kuujjuaq where you will overnight at the coop hotel, you may come across migrating birds, marine life, wolves, musk-oxen and even herds of caribou.

Later at night, under a clear sky, marvel at the multiple shades of green of aurora borealis as it performs its unique dance.

With your guide, visit the village and meet local people. In the afternoon, the women will proudly present you their throat singing performance called Katadjak where sounds of birds, wind and waves will overwhelm you. At night, by vehicle, your guide will drive you to see the aurora borealis one last time. Overnight at the coop hotel.

In the morning, shop for sculptures, baskets and local clothing for souvenirs. In the afternoon, in a two hour session you will enjoy learning a few words of Inuktitut and use the syllabics to write your name.
