Safety

Associated with the untouched and remote beauty of the Arctic Region is a level of perceived risk connected to being within an environment that is unfamiliar to most people on the planet. The Baffin Safari team is overtly aware of this fact and can ensure you that your Safety is our number one priority at all times. 

There are a number of key operational parameters that help us guarantee that your trip is both safe and offers you constant peace of mind:

  • Our expedition leaders have the necessary training to handle both minor and major emergencies specific to the sometimes unpredictable Arctic environment.

Food

All Baffin Safari expedition meals are mostly common western dishes and often we are able to serve a meal of locally caught arctic char.

And off course, we can certainly cater to any specific diets and food requirements - all you need to do is let us know!!

Much of the local Inuit culture revolves around the foods and the methods in which they prepare their meals. Inuit families highly value the time they spend together as they hunt, prepare and feast upon what they feel has been provided to them by the land. It is an important time to bond and to teach traditional ways of thinking and living.

Accommodation

Connectivity

A Baffin Safari trip gives you the opportunity to switch off your mobile, put down the iPad and disconnect from the technologies that are a major part of our everyday. While we encourage this same philosophy from our guests, we understand that there are sometimes needs to have a certain level of connectivity to life outside the Arctic.

All Baffin Safari guides are provided with their own Delorme Satellite Communicator which allow for text messages and SOS. Clients are welcome to use our devices to send messages to loved ones back home.
