Your guides will lead the way and come with extensive knowledge of local wildlife and plant life knowledge, plus ancient stories of the indigenous people that call this place home.
 
After Dinner this evening, finish your itinerary with the roaring thrill of a Night Snowmobile tour and get one last chance to see the magical Northern Lights.
