Tuktoyaktuk greets you at the edge of the Arctic Ocean, where sea meets tundra and the sky stages unforgettable shows of midnight sun and northern lights. Drive to town year-round on the Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk Highway and walk a pebble beach that truly touches the Arctic. Offshore, ice-cored hills rise like frozen waves; the protected Pingo Canadian Landmark offers a window into permafrost geology and a landscape found almost nowhere else on Earth.
Families will find everyday essentials close to home. Mangilaluk School serves students from kindergarten through grade 12 and supports local culture, including Inuvialuktun language learning and on-the-land programs. Health needs are covered by the Tuktoyaktuk Health Centre, while additional shopping, services, and scheduled flights are a short drive away in Inuvik, with connections farther afield through Yellowknife.
Life here rewards a spirit of adventure and community. Summers bring boating, paddling, and wildlife viewing along the coast; winters deliver crisp days for snowmobiling, aurora watching, and community gatherings. For local services, recreation programs, and municipal updates, the Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk provides practical, up-to-date information for residents and newcomers alike.
