Charters





  

Every year, people from all over the world come to Fort Simpson to experience the Nahanni first-hand. To see this breathtaking wilderness, more people choose Simpson Air than any other air charter service.

We offer flights to all the communities in the Northwest Territories, but this does not limit our wings to the rest of Canada. Ask us about charters to your particular destination, we'd be happy to offer our service.

At Simpson Air we are fully capable of meeting your various charter needs safely and affordably. Wheel, float and off-strip capabilities, plus single and multi-engine aircraft means that we are able to transport passengers and cargo anywhere in the north. Our wheeled aircraft regularly service communities in the Deh Cho Region and beyond.

Fishing Trips 

Fly into the trip of a lifetime, and get ready for the fight. Clear waters sport some of the best fishing in the world. Generally speaking, both Pike (Jackfish) and Pickerel (Walleye) are plentiful in June. Pike and Lake Trout are more popular in July and August, and reaching into September. Grayling can be caught at Little Doctor Lake, while Moose River is quite popular after the spring thaw, around June.

  • Fishing trips are a popular venture in the Fort Simpson area. A great choice is the Nahanni Mountain Lodge, a truly tranquil hideaway along the eastern shore of Little Doctor Lake, 60 miles west of Fort Simpson. This rustic lodge is a perfect setting for an exceptional outing. You can set your own schedule as you relax and enjoy the amenities and breathtaking scenery at your front door. Included in your stay are canoes, boats with motor and gas, paddles and life jackets for your excursions.

  • Moose River is another favourite – a fly-in fishing trip on the northern shore of Trout Lake. You are required to bring all your gear and necessities, as there are no services at this location (or talk to us about renting gear so you can pack lighter).

    The pilot and plane will stay with you for up to 4 hours or until you are ready to return to Fort Simpson.
