We invite you to fly with us to a corner of the Northwest Territories that few people know, yet which has some of the most awesome scenery on the continent. Let a bush pilot show you the wonders of the Nahanni-Ram country; the wide sweep of the Mackenzie River, the second-longest river in North America; the rugged Mackenzie Mountains, the largest uninhabited mountain range in the world; the unforgettable South Nahanni River whose dramatic landscapes make it a Canadian Heritage River, a World Heritage Site, and the centrepiece of Nahanni National Park.

Get a magnificent aerial view of Canada's best-kept secret; the 'other' Nahanni, where few but bush pilots have ever ventured.

Minutes after leaving the muskeg of the Great Slave Plain, you sweep through The Gap in the Nahanni Range at Little Doctor Lake, and suddenly you are among the fantastic, contorted tabletop canyons, steep towers, deep pits, ancient caves and ice sculptures of the Ram Plateau - Canada's Grand Canyon.

Nothing prepares you for the spectacular Ragged Range and the Cirque of the Unclimbables, a Mecca for mountain climbers who come from around the world to scale their glacier-capped granite towers, soaring over 9,500 feet high.

We offer Canada's Yosemite and Grand Canyon, but without the crowds. Just you, your pilot, and wildlife such as dall sheep, mountain goats, moose, caribou and the occasional grizzly bear that wander this remote wilderness.

Based in the historic fur-trading post of Fort Simpson, at the confluence of the Liard and Mackenzie Rivers, our company operates a fleet of well-maintained aircraft that include a Cessna 185, two Cessna 206s, a Cessna 207 and a Britten Norman Islander.

We are proud of our experienced pilots and our top priority is always your safety and comfort. We will take you anywhere, but listed below are some of our most popular trips; sharing a flight with others enables you to experience these world-class landscapes.

Fly yourself and your canoe, kayak or raft to the South Nahanni River, widely celebrated as the best paddling destination in Canada, some say the world. Choose one of our favourite drop-off points - Moose Ponds beneath Fuji-like Mount Wilson, Island Lakes, Rabbitkettle Lake with its hot springs, surrounded by uniquely terraced tuffa mounds, or breathtaking Virginia Falls.

Explore the breathtaking Ragged Range at your own pace. Fly to our base camp at beautiful Glacier Lake for a picnic lunch and a paddle, drop in your fishing line or stroll beneath towering mountain peaks. Better still, camp for a week and climb into the Cirque or just relax in its alpine meadows.

Take a fishing trip to Trout Lake for giant pike and lake trout, walleye (pickerel) and white fish. This lake is unusual, not for its large size which extends over 50 km, but for its pristine, tropical white beaches. Charter your own plane and pilot, hire a local Dene guide, or join a group of anglers for a dream fishing trip by the light of the midnight sun. Or, if you'd rather a lake to yourself, we can drop you off at any number of places, then collect you and your catch later.

Visit our nearby communities - Trout Lake, Jean Marie, Fort Liard, Nahanni Butte and Wrigley. The Slavey who live in these quiet settlements still live a largely traditional life off the land, fishing, hunting and trapping. They still make traditional crafts, like birchbark baskets and moose-hide jackets, mitts and moccasins decorated with beads, porcupine quills and moosehair tufting.

Whatever you choose, Wolverine Air promises you a truly unforgettable experience at a reasonable rate. As we say up here, Mahsi Cho (thank you)!
