    Note: At this time, these are our Covid Personal Protection policies, subject to change with new, up to date announcements.

    1. All tour participants must show proof of being fully vaccinated at the time of tour departure.
    2. All tour participants must fill out a Activity Tracking Form before tour departure.
    3. Personal protective gear must be worn when we are in Yellowknife, all the communities, travelling in enclosed places such as the tour van and in the bush plane flight into and out of the Nahanni National Park and in the hotel and B&B’s in the Indigenous communities.
    4. Personal Protective Gear such as face masks, protective gloves and hand sanitizer is provided on all tours.
    5. We thank you in advance for understanding and abiding by our Covid Personal Protection policies.

    We are in full summer mode during June to September and the summer weather in the Dehcho region us usually very warm to hot. There is very little rain and temperatures get up to +38C!

    The only challenge you may have is hiking to the lower part of Virginia Falls, so hiking shoes will be okay.

    For clothing, comfortable active wear is recommended. The boat trip can get a little cool on the Mackenzie River, particularly for the June bookings, other than that, you can expect very warm temperatures and comfortable weather.

    We definitely also recommend to wear a hat, the are many sunny days in the Dehcho during the summer, and for your day trip into the Nahanni National Park, you may want to bring a bug jacket.

    Unfortunately pets are not allowed on these trips.
