Take a scenic hike to the stunning Cameron Falls, winding your way through peaceful boreal forest and over some of the oldest rock formations on Earth. Along the trail, keep an eye out for curious wildlife—maybe a fluffy ptarmigan rustling in the underbrush, a cheeky whisky jack following your steps, or a wise raven watching from above. If you're lucky, a fox might dart by, silently judging your hiking speed from the shadows. Our experienced guide will share fun facts, northern stories, and a few laughs along the way. At the falls, take in the thundering water, snap some unforgettable photos, and enjoy light snacks while soaking up the view. It’s a perfect mix of nature, exercise, and northern charm—an experience you’ll remember long after your boots are off.

A great afternoon hike

5.00What a great way to get outside Yellowknife for a few hours and see the woods. Zinsi was a fantastic guide - very easy to travel with, knowledgeable, friendly, and well prepared. She managed the pace well and confirmed with me before going into any trickier areas. The falls were incredible and the path to and from them was just as good. I'm very glad I had this experience. Thanks Zinsi!

5.00My husband and I had a very memorable experience with NWT Charter Services. Our guide Mr Lovingson went above and beyond our expectations - providing information about the plants that are native to the area and even quizzing us on the route back to see how much we remembered. He continuously checked in with participants to make sure we were comfortable with the level of difficulty and pace of the hike as we trecked through the trail to the falls. A spectacular view and a must see for all visitors to Yellowknife. We highly recommend this tour service for your Cameron Falls adventure. Thank you.
It was a fun hike.

5.00We had an amazing experience with Livingston on our hike to Cameron Falls! He’s funny, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. The trail was a bit tricky with the fresh snow, but thanks to his helpful tips and constant care, we felt safe and confident the whole way. Along the hike, he shared lots of fun facts about Yellowknife, pointed out local plants, and talked about Indigenous traditions. You can tell he really loves what he does. Everything ran smoothly. Livingston was by far the most professional and thoughtful guide we met in Yellowknife. We’d definitely join another adventure with him next time we visit!
