Safety

Associated with the untouched and remote beauty of the Arctic Region is a level of perceived risk connected to being within an environment that is unfamiliar to most people on the planet. The Baffin Safari team is overtly aware of this fact and can ensure you that your safety is our number one priority at all times. 

All our guides are provided satellite communicators with SOS capability and are first aid trained. On all tours, at least one guide is firearms licensed, for bear safety. 

There are a number of key operational parameters that help us guarantee that your trip is both safe and offers you constant peace of mind:

• Our guides carry SOS satelite communicators (which can be made available to guests for txt messages to loved ones back home).

• Our expedition leaders have the necessary training to handle both minor and major emergencies specific to the sometimes unpredictable Arctic environment.

• Each expedition team is well equipped with all the necessary modern technologies required to handle any emergency situation.

• A practiced knowledge of traditional survival techniques learnt from the local Inuit people is an integral part of the experience and knowledge that Baffin Safari expedition leaders bring to each trip.
