Scenic Delta Flight  

Tour time : 1-2 hours

$450 pp for one or two people on a scheduled flight

Take a short flight in a small Cessna airplane over the amazing Mackenzie River water systems and see this spectacular Delta. You will see what really makes up this river system which is the 5th largest delta in the world!  This tour is definitely better than the view from a boat.  The plane will land in Aklavik and hold for up to one hour giving you some time to walk around the town a bit before flying back to Inuvik. If we have less than 3 people for the flight that day we will put you on the scheduled flight to Aklavik and you will get 15-30 minutes on the ground before flying back to Inuvik.  Either way you will get a bird's eye view of the beautiful Mackenzie Delta.  Airport shuttles from Arctic Chalet are included if you do not have your own car.  Morning and evening flights are usually available, but we can book to suit your schedule if more than 3 people are in your party.  Try to book 3-4 days ahead.
