Baffin Island Expedition & Soper River Rafting
Combine the best of cultural exploration on Baffin Island with paddling on the Soper River in northeastern Canada! Join Canadian River Expeditions for this arctic odyssey on the Soper River and sample the best and most exotic of Baffin Island. Enjoy arctic wilderness and Inuit carvings. Steeped in history and rich in flora and fauna, Baffin Island is a treasure of Nunavut, Canada’s newest Territory.
The Soper River is a Canadian Heritage River. Kuujuak, “The Great River“ as it is known to the Inuit, flows through Katannilik Park, across the tundra to Lake Harbour on the Arctic Ocean. Float, paddle and hike the Soper River and surrounding landscape with a collection of rafts and canoes. The trip's timing coincides with the height of the wildflower color. Hiking opportunities abound on the open tundra. The clear stream of the Soper with small gorges and Class I and II rapids make for idyllic river travel. Falcons, caribou, fox, wolf, ptarmigan, geese and others, animate the landscape.
The itinerary is planned to make the most of your time on Baffin Island for cultural, ecological and historical exploration. The Baffin communities of Iqualuit, Kimmirut and Pangirtung, offer an opportunity to experience the unique culture of this land.
Paddle by canoe and raft over approximately 53 km (33 miles) on this high arctic tundra journey.
