Nunavik—With Inuit Storytelling and Arctic Wildlife—Is Opening Up to Travelers

"Ungava Polar Eco Tours is Nunavik’s first 100-percent Inuit-owned and -operated tour company. It offers a unique opportunity for visitors to experience wildlife viewing without hunting, under the guidance of Inuit guides. The tours emphasize cultural immersion, allowing guests to learn about Inuit culture, including traditional food and ways of life. The basecamp is located on Tiercel Island in the Gyrfalcon archipelago, offering activities like hiking, fat biking, and boat excursions. The company contrasts with earlier tourism models dominated by sports hunting and fishing."
