What is considered the best time for a visit?
Before you decide to visit, figure out what you want to see and do there. November till March is not a good time to visit as there are very few daylight houre and it is too dark.
For most activities weather plays a factor.
April
April is the best month to visit Nunavut. Daylight hours are long and the temperatureis generally pleasant.After a long winter most communities in Nunavut offer spring festivals. These include any or all of traditional games, snowmobile drag races, square dances, parades, and community feasts.
April thru June is when you go for dog sledding and snowmobile trips. Also available are cultural vacations where you can sleep in an iglu, and x-country skiing along the summer hiking trails.
July and August are the summer months. This is the time for Canoeing and kayaking, or you can take a cruise along the North West Passage. Good time to go fishing for arctic char. It gets quite warm here in summer, with temperatures reaching plus 30șC or more!
September thru December is a transition period. the days are getting shorter and colder and the weather becomes less predictable. Many activities are still possible but it takes more planning and you have to make sure you are prepared for extra "stormy" days.
