Day 1
 After leaving Whitehorse we fly north through the Big Salmon Range to the small community of Ross River. From there, we’ll begin to follow the historic CANOL Pipeline. An engineering marvel of the Second World War, the pipeline was built by the US Army to keep oil flowing south. Our route then takes us through the Mackenzie Mountains before we reach the flatlands and the small community of Norman Wells, where we’ll spend the night. Flying time: 3 hours

Day 2
Today we will tour Norman Wells and visit the town museum. Norman Wells, situated on the north bank of the Mackenzie River, has a colourful history and prehistory. The area is a rich source of fossils. Explorer Alexander Mackenzie first noticed oil seepages near here in the late 18th century. The first claims were staked in the early 20th century, with the first refinery being built in the1920s. After lunch we will fly southeast to the North Nahanni Naturalist Lodge located on scenic Cli Lake. At this cozy wilderness retreat you can spend your evening either fishing or just relaxing. Flying Time: 2 hours

Day 3
From Cli Lake we depart southwest and up the Nahanni range to Nahanni National Park Reserve. In 1978 this exotic wilderness location became the world’s first World Heritage Site, an honour conferred by UNESCO. Here we will land above spectacular Virginia Falls, where the friendly park staff will meet us and take us on a short walk to the falls, which are twice the height of Niagara Falls. Afterwards we will reboard our plane for the return flight to Whitehorse. Flying time: 2 hours
