Perfect intro to Yellowknife— the famous ice road and the permanent houseboats where ppl live on the frozen ice or water year round. Got to see inside the fishing huts and visit a Dene village too. Asked to be dropped off at the snow castle so we could wander at leisure. Awesome 2 hr tour that feels just right on your first day!
