Parc national Tursujuq invites you on a day trip from Umiujaq to explore its snow-covered landscapes of cuestas, lakes, and rivers with experienced guides.
This excursion includes round-trip transportation by snowmobile and qamutik (traditional Inuit sled) to either Tasiujaq lake or Nastapoka Falls, and you will be accompanied by a team of two to five experienced guides, depending on the size of the group. A pre-departure meeting with the park team will be organized to finalize the itinerary and specify possible activities in the park area you wish to explore.
Bring warm clothing, as well as your lunch, snacks, and water for the day. Winter equipment is also available if needed.
Drones
Nunavik Parks (Kativik Regional Government) does not permit the use of drones for recreational purposes in the parks it manages (Parc national Tursujuq, Parc national des Pingualuit, Parc national Kuururjuaq, and Parc national Ulittaniujalik) so as not to impact the visitor experience or disturb wildlife.
Good to know
In Nunavik, the weather is constantly changing. Therefore, the expedition is subject to change at any time to take current weather conditions into account, so be prepared to adapt to unforeseen situations. However, you will be able to rely entirely on the expertise and know-how of your guides to make the most of your stay.

This package requires a minimum of 4 people to guarantee departure. Please contact us to inquire about joining groups that have already been formed.
Please note that hunting and trapping are strictly prohibited in Quebec’s national parks. However, Inuit have the right to practice their subsistence activities throughout Nunavik, including in parc national Tursujuq. Therefore, witnessing a group of Inuit hunting caribou or ringed seals, or trapping foxes, can become a part of your Nunavik park experience.
Plan a day back pack (30L), to transport your snacks, thermos, warm clothes, etc.
Safety
All expeditions led by the parc national Tursujuq team can be tracked day by day thanks to daily satellite positioning. The team can contact park staff at any time with a satellite phone. Visitors to Nunavik’s parks must take some responsibility for their own safety, and risk management must be an integral part of their experience.
As a visitor participating in a trip organized by Nunavik Parks and accompanied by a guide who is a member of the team, you are covered by insurance for costs related to accidents and search and rescue.
