Partners & Sponsors

Arctic Watch Wilderness Lodge is proud to collaborate with several great companies. From the premier beef producer in North America to the top white water kayak and canoe school, we are proud to introduce the following companies:


Sea Research Foundation

Sea Research Foundation

Sea Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization that operates Mystic Aquarium, Institute for Exploration and, in partnership with National Geographic Society, The JASON Project and its Immersion Learning program. The mission of Sea Research is to inspire people to care for and protect our ocean planet through education, research and exploration. Learn more at www.searesearch.org.  

Sea Research and Mystic Aquarium are leaders in aquatic research and education, with a major focus on beluga whales, which are cared for in the aquarium’s collection. Mystic Aquarium scientists have conducted research on wild belugas in Point Lay and Bristol Bay, Ala., in order to determine the environment’s effect on beluga health and compare health information with endangered beluga populations worldwide. Late Sea Research Scientist and Research Director Dr. David St. Aubin conducted research studies on belugas in Cunningham Inlet for many years.

Located in Mystic, Conn., Mystic Aquarium’s Arctic Coast exhibit is one of the nation's largest beluga whale habitats. Home to Kela, Naku, Naluark and Juno, aquarium visitors can experience beluga whales firsthand during a beluga encounter program, while learning about their natural history, current conservation status and considerable challenges. The aquarium's beluga whales are studied in a controlled environment to help answer important questions about wild belugas.

Testimonials

Yet again, we are truely impressed with the quality of guides, cooks and of course hosts. A few long walks, cannot do justice to the beauty available in the high arctic. Drifting carelessly in a kayak with sunny skies and a breathless wind observing the whales and seals offered an early glimpse of what heaven may be like. A sincere thank you for another wonderful life experience!

John, Patricia, Gordon and William Gouinlock

Finally, the perfect  [...]

  • Enroute to Arctic Watch: Yellowknife N.W.T

    As the summer at Arctic Watch is quickly approaching, I’ve had several guests ask me what there is to be done in Yellowknife, NWT.

The city of Yellowknife, located on Great Slave Lake,  [...]
