Mackenzie Nahanni Experience

Season: June 16 to August 24

We are 100% Indigenous owned!

Visit the capital of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife! See the world’s biggest wood buffalo! Boat Canada’s longest river, the mighty Mackenzie River! Experience the pristine wilderness of the Northwest Territories and and the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site, the spectacular Nahanni National Park!

See life in small Indigenous communities. Meet the local residents, possibly community leaders and experience firsthand the warm hospitality of the local Indigenous peoples of the Dehcho region of Northwest Territories (Denendeh)!

Highlights include a comfortable 300km drive from Yellowknife to Fort Providence where you will see the world’s largest buffalo along the way! When in Fort Providence, we will visit the beautiful Residential School Memorial constructed on the same site as the first Residential School in the Northwest Territories, which opened over 260 years in 1860.

Relax on a comfortable 265km boat ride on the mighty Mackenzie River from Fort Providence to Fort Simpson, the same river canoed by Sir Alexander Mackenzie and his intrepid men back in 1789, 233 years ago. Then while in Fort Simpson enjoy an extended day tour into the world famous and spectacular Nahanni National Park!

Spend 4 nights in the communities, including 2 relaxing nights in the oldest community on the Mackenzie River, Fort Simpson (pop. 1450). While in Fort Simpson enjoy a wonderful evening having tea and a talk with a local Indigenous Elder. 

Book your Mackenzie Nahanni Experience in June or July and experience our 24hr daylight phenomenon, or book your Package in August or September and experience our incredible and amazing Aurora Borealis!
