James Bay Arctic Edge Tour NorthernTours.com tours are designed for your pleasure and comfort without anxiety. The north is very big. Distances between settlements are long. Marked trails and local 'informal' trails intersect to create confusion and draw you into unknown territory. The natural beauty of our spectacular northern wilderness masks her unforgiving nature and the hostility of a cold and long winter night alone should you be unable to reach your destination for any reason. We want you to enjoy the scenery and the thrill of riding these extreamly remote trails while we worry about meeting arrival deadlines getting you safely to your bed each night. Sure you can try running these trails on your own but you may find yourself wondering which trail to take to get to your hotel. You may get yourself lost. You may get stranded. Some have wound up in the wrong town. You may even miss your dinner!


If any of our snowmobile vacationers who would like to travel on the SnowTrain with Northern Tours, we would like to advise you to book as early as possible to assure a train pass. SnowTrain dates fill to capacity very early in the season.
