Baffin Safari

A letter from the owner

Another great season completed. Bear sightings were fairly good, however, similar to 2022, we experienced very few Narwhal. Instead, we did have wonderful bowhead whale sightings. There has been much debate amongst locals and researchers about the changes to the Narwhal migration in timing and location. It seems the migration through Eclipse Sound ( the Pond Inlet floe edge ) is later in the season and that there are more Narwhal migrating the north west passage north of bylot island. The Pond Inlet floe edge continues to provide incredible arctic scenery of mountains, glaciers , and ice burgs but to improve our chances of seeing Narwhal Baffin Safari will be adding late season tours to the Admiralty Inlet floe edge serviced out of Arctic Bay.

Once again I travelled the length of Baffin Island this season from Iqaluit to Pond searching new locations for unique tour experiences. This year, travelling the remote west coast of Baffin, I found exactly the spot I was looking for. Along the shores of Foxe Basin we are introducing a new early season tour allowing guests to stay in a very special camp for northern lights viewing and incredible wildlife opportunities of polar bears and cubs, caribou, wolves, walrus and whales. It is our new Aurora Safari tour.

I look forward to seeing you in 2024.
