Activity itinerary

Birchwood

Begin with coffee, tea, and a light snack at , Birchwood Coffee Ko, or another locally owned café. This relaxed first stop gives guests time to meet their guide, get comfortable with the small group, and hear an overview of the day before exploring Yellowknife.

Old Town (Pass by)

Old Town is one of Yellowknife’s most distinctive neighbourhoods, with historic buildings, artists’ spaces, floatplanes, houseboats, colourful cabins, waterfront views, and the independent character that shaped the early city.

The Wildcat Cafe (Pass by)

See one of Yellowknife’s best-known historic buildings. The Wildcat Café is recognized by the city as Yellowknife’s oldest historic building and reflects the rough, practical architecture of the early mining settlement. Whether the café is operating will depend on the season and current management.

Great Slave Lake

Great Slave Lake and the Houseboats From Old Town, guests can look across Yellowknife Bay and Great Slave Lake toward the colourful houseboats that form one of the city’s most recognizable communities. This is a scenic photography stop and an opportunity to talk about what it is like to live on the water in the North.

Bush Pilot's Monument

Climb to one of Yellowknife’s best-known viewpoints for panoramic views across Great Slave Lake, Back Bay, Old Town, and the houseboat community. The monument honours the bush pilots whose aircraft connected remote northern communities and helped shape transportation and development across the North.

Ragged Ass Road

Stop for a photograph at one of Yellowknife’s most famous street signs. The short residential road became nationally known for its unusual name and reflects the humour and independent personality often associated with Old Town.

Weaver & Devore Trading Ltd

Visit or pass Yellowknife’s oldest continuously operating general store, established in 1936. The building and business offer a direct connection to the days when Old Town served miners, trappers, pilots, and residents living close to the waterfront.

Gallery of the Midnight Sun

Browse the largest gallery and gift shop in the Northwest Territories. The gallery carries northern artwork, Indigenous art and crafts, gifts, Canadian diamonds, jewellery, and locally inspired products. It is an excellent stop for guests looking for meaningful souvenirs rather than mass-produced items.

Bullock's Bistro

Enjoy lunch at Bullock’s Bistro, one of Yellowknife’s best-known and most character-filled restaurants. Located in historic Old Town, Bullock’s is famous for its fresh fish, generous portions, lively atmosphere, and walls covered with notes, signatures, and messages from visitors from around the world. Guests can choose from a menu that often features locally caught fish such as whitefish, trout, or Arctic char, along with hearty sides and other comfort-food favourites. The setting is casual, colourful, and distinctly northern, making it an experience as memorable as the meal itself. This stop offers time to relax after exploring Old Town, enjoy a satisfying lunch, and take in one of Yellowknife’s most iconic dining spots before continuing with the afternoon’s museums, galleries, and cultural attractions.

Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre

Explore the territorial museum and archives, where exhibits introduce visitors to the cultures, art, wildlife, aviation, archaeology, and history of communities throughout the Northwest Territories. Collections include aircraft, mining material, archaeological objects, works of art, and a traditional Dene moose-hide boat. The museum contains more than 75,000 objects, along with extensive photographic, map, and archival collections

Northwest Territories Legislative Building

Located near the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, the Legislative Assembly can be included as an exterior photography stop or a guided interior visit when schedules allow. Guests can learn about the Northwest Territories’ consensus form of government and see the distinctive building where representatives from across the territory meet. Public guided tours may be available on weekdays, but they should not be guaranteed without advance confirmation.

NWT Diamond and Jewellery Centre

Learn how diamonds discovered and mined in the Northwest Territories move from remote northern mines to finished jewellery. The centre offers an interactive introduction to the history and complexity of the Canadian diamond industry and displays loose diamonds and jewellery associated with the territory.

Yellowknife Visitor Centre and Information (Pass by)

Visit the Yellowknife Visitor Centre to learn more about the city, gather local travel information, and receive a memorable keepsake from your time in Canada’s North. Each guest will receive an official North of 60 certificate recognizing their visit above the 60th parallel, along with a Yellowknife pin to take home. It is a fun and meaningful stop that gives travellers a tangible reminder of their northern adventure.

Nature North Wildlife Gallery

45m
Admission ticket included

Visit an immersive wildlife gallery where taxidermy is presented as both natural interpretation and art. Guests can see northern animals at close range while learning about their habitats, behaviours, physical adaptations, and place within the northern environment. This stop is particularly valuable for travellers who may not encounter every northern species in the wild. It provides an opportunity to appreciate the scale and detail of animals such as bears, caribou, birds, and other wildlife in a controlled indoor setting.

Zehabesha Traditional Ethiopian Restaurant

1h 30m

End the day with dinner at Zehabesha Traditional Ethiopian Restaurant or another carefully selected locally owned Yellowknife restaurant, depending on availability, operating hours, and the group’s needs. Yellowknife’s food scene reflects the diversity of the people who call the city home. Your dinner may feature Ethiopian cuisine, northern fish, Canadian comfort food, craft brewery fare, or another distinctive local dining experience. The exact restaurant may vary, but every option is chosen to showcase the character, hospitality, and multicultural flavours of Yellowknife. Dinner is included and offers a relaxed way to reflect on the day before returning to your accommodation.
