Auyuittuq National Park: Private Arctic Wilderness Trek

Venture deep into one of Canada's most remote and spectacular national parks — a vast Arctic wilderness of soaring granite peaks, glaciers, and frozen tundra on Baffin Island. A private, expert-guided trek into the Akshayuk Pass is a once-in-a-lifetime arctic immersion.

What to expect

Your Inuit guide leads you from Pangnirtung through the iconic Akshayuk Pass gateway, past the thundering Overlord and Thor peaks — home to the world's longest uninterrupted vertical drop. Marvel at glacial rivers, ancient moraines, and the eerie silence of the High Arctic. Wildlife sightings — Arctic hare, ptarmigan, even polar bear tracks — are common. The pace is yours, with moments to absorb scenery that few humans have ever witnessed.

Good to know

Book Inukpak directly well in advance — capacity is extremely limited and demand from expedition cruise passengers is high. Ensure you return with 90 minutes to spare before all-aboard. Layered technical clothing and waterproof boots are essential; Inukpak advises on kit. Parks Canada entry fees are payable on arrival.
