Thrill of the Unexpected YELLOWKNIFE / BLACHFORD LAKE / THAIDENE NATIONAL PARK / FORT SIMPSON / NAHANNI NATIONAL PARK

DAY 1 yellowknife Welcome to the north! The Northwest Territories offer a reminder of why we travel: for the thrill of the unexpected, the joy of an epic adventure, and the desire to live in a way we aren’t used to. Upon arrival at Yellowknife Airport, your host, a member of the Dene First Nation, will take you to your host hotel to check-in and relax. The afternoon is spent at leisure, although a highly recommended option is popping in the NWT Brewing Co. for a flight of local craft beer or having dinner at Bullocks Bistro – choose their world-famous fish and chips.

DAYs 2-4 blachford lake / thaidene nene

This is a place that lives unapologetically wild and free. Travellers come here to leap outside their comfort zones, to live big and satisfy their thirst for adventure

Today, you’ll take a scenic flight to your choice of Blachford Lake Lodge or Frontier Lodge. Option 1: Arrive by seaplane to Blachford Lake Lodge, an elegant eco-lodge situated on a rocky knoll overlooking Blachford Lake. Here, two indulgent days stretch before you, with endless opportunities to explore the wilderness. In summer, take advantage of the midnight sun to canoe, StandUp Paddleboard (SUP) and hike woodland trails long into the night. Summer is also an angler’s dream, as Blachford Lake comes
