Unique chance to photograph and observe Belugas up close | 10 days

Led by an incredible local team, embark on this fantastic opportunity to photograph one of the most unique beluga congregations on earth – two thousand whales congregate every season in the shallow waters of Cunningham Inlet near Arctic Watch to nurse, molt, socialize and feed.

Eight hundred kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, Arctic Watch Wilderness Lodge is your basecamp as you set out to photograph one of the last beluga nurseries on earth.

The adventure focuses on spending time at the mouth of the Cunningham River where mothers and young congregate in the shallow waters. The team will take time to teach you about the beluga’s behaviour and really immerse yourself into their world. You’ll explore the coastline and photograph the whales as they travel in and out of the inlet and along the Northwest Passage; capturing all aspects of their journey as they play in Cunningham and travel the ice of the Northwest Passage. The group will focus on optimizing prime times with the tides – evenings and early mornings. Hone your skills in wildlife photography and landscape photography with the ever changing Arctic colours. For beluga enthusiasts, sit and enjoy the tranquillity of these amazing creatures.

The belugas of Cunningham Inlet exhibit unique behaviour such as spy hopping. They are extremely vocal, making sounds that can be heard a kilometre away.
