To our valued customers:

Due to COVID-19 our Chief Public Health Officer has closed our borders until further notice. This has greatly affected inbound travel into the Northwest Territories and because of this we have temporarily closed our Touch the Arctic office until further notice. We are unable to action any inbound travel requests until we have a clearer view on border openings and firm guidelines from our tour providers on their updated health and safety practices.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but trust you understand the circumstances.

Stay Well,

Touch the Arctic

We were so lucky today to experience Rosie Strong's, of Strong Interpretations, picnic lunch that she provides clients on various tours in Yellowknife and the surrounding area.

These photos are of our very own Antje, with Rosie, who provides a beautiful selection of gourmet, homemade treats – many harvested from her own garden and the surrounding land. Imagine this spread after an afternoon out snowshoeing, warming up by the fire in a cozy wall tent and sharing stories with Rosie and new friends from near and far.

Thank you Rosie for the special Tuesday treats.
