The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Glide silently alongside Monumental Island's legendary walrus haul-outs aboard a private Zodiac, guided by an expert Arctic naturalist. This is the defining bucket-list encounter of Canada's High Arctic — raw, wild, and utterly unforgettable.
Trek the tundra margins of Monumental Island with a seasoned Arctic guide in search of the world's largest land predator. Spotting a polar bear in its wild, ice-fringed habitat is one of the most visceral wildlife moments on the planet.
Venture beyond the shoreline on a guided hike across Monumental Island's ancient tundra, sculpted cliffs, and sweeping Arctic vistas. Few travellers ever set foot on this remote island — walking it with an expert naturalist makes it profoundly rare.
Spend a focused shore session under the guidance of a professional expedition photographer, capturing Monumental Island's otherworldly Arctic scenery, wildlife, and ethereal light. This is bucket-list photography in one of Earth's least-visited landscapes.
Engage one of Canada's foremost Arctic naturalists for an exclusive private session combining a Zodiac survey and an intimate onshore interpretation of Monumental Island's unique ecosystem. Understanding the Arctic transforms witnessing it.
Embark on an extended open-water Zodiac cruise around the full perimeter of Monumental Island, absorbing the sheer, humbling scale of the Canadian Arctic and its ice-strewn, horizon-wide seascape. A meditative, perspective-shifting experience like no other.
