  • Tour groups range from 2-16 people. 
  • We can add on your flight from Vancouver or Whitehorse to Dawson City at a pretty good  rate.  If you are flying with Air North to Dawson City make sure you arrive the previous day, not the morning of your tour.   (In the case of morning fog in Dawson which would prevent the plane  from landing you would still have time to take the afternoon flight from  Whitehorse and be ready for your tour the next day.  (Air North will  let you know in Whitehorse on the day of your flight if there is fog in  Dawson City.) 
  • If your schedule is delayed in Dawson City due to weather you may  request to extend your package by one day for a fee of $500 to cover  changes in accommodations, transportation in Inuvik and driver fees for  hotel and time lost. 
  • If any given tour in this package is not possible due to weather or unforeseeable circumstances we will do our best to substitute one  activity for another. No refunds will be issued. 
  • We highly recommend that you obtain travel insurance in case of a medical emergency. 
  • Delays on the Dempster might occur if road conditions are poor or  the ferries are unable to run. Please be flexible and patient. We will  do our best to stay on schedule.
