Nice little viewpoint and landmark. The signs do a good job of explaining what pingos are.

Visited in the fall of 2017 before the last stretch of the Dempster Highway opened. It was an amazing experience to spend some time in this community and see the Pingos. Looking forward to returning again soon.

The best landscape only a handful place have.

Not a lot of published info, but the locals are friendly and will point you in the right direction. Unfortunately, the entrance to the boardwalk is by the sewage lagoon...

If you have a means to paddle to the boardwalk it's a nice easy sheltered paddle. If summertime be prepared for mosquitos.

Cool, rainy, and GORGEOUS. We spent a full day at the beach watching birds and reading about the park.

Nice view, kind of hard to reach the board walk

I've visited countless information centers all over the North American continent and only this one (so far) wanted an internet fee. And if you want to park in the seaside parking lot next to the famous Arctic Ocean sign, you have to pay here too. Here you simply get the impression that you have reached a developing country where it is necessary to pay for every little thing, because the people who manage and lead things here have not yet understood that the modern approach to tourism is completely the opposite. And so here's a free lesson for Tuktoyaktuk management: if you offer the most basic services like parking and internet for free to tourists, they'll feel better, stay longer, and ultimately spend more money than what you're charging them now for parking and internet . Think about it. Anyway, the staff member at the information center was nice and helpful and it was definitely worth checking out all the way to the end of the Dempster Highway.

Somehow in a friendly conversation with a Lady at a farmers market in Wetaskiwin Alberta, I mentioned I was going to Inuvik. She asked if I would drop a package off in Tuktoyaytuk at the nuns church there. Ok I said. So, while in Inuvik with a few free days we rented a car and headed to Tuk with box. Amazing drive, we stopped 3/4 way, shut off car and just got out and listened. Wow. It was December so it was dark 24 hours. Stars we brilliant, you could reach out and touch them. Tuk was bizarre in interesting way. All houses on stilts, all utilities above ground. So quiet, so errie, so peacefull. Went to land tip, sat on park picnic table, we had lunch in dark at -24C. What a memory. :) Dropped package off at church, chatted with locals. Bought a few things, gassed up, whooo, expensive :) Met the polar bear lady. Stopped in town office. Got map of town. Looked at christmas lights. Visited a pingo on way home. Amazing people live in this harsh, cold, isolated location. Just wild. Oh ya, funny to see northern lights at 9 in the morning :) Just Beautiful. A place time forgot. Be well.

The guy working the center was super helpful and told us a lot about the area and the best places to get food and gas

Very helpful and kind young woman at the register. Got a useful map of town, where to swim, eat, walking paths and parking areas. Camp spot at the end of the sand strip, was a little expensive, sure, but not as expensive as it could have been and such a unique experience to wake up at the shore of the Arctic Ocean. They even have some cute stickers, magnets, and a free “certificate” for making it to the end of the road! Even if you don’t plan to camp in the public campground, stop in and say hi, grab a brochure, and get a souvenir, you earned it!

We came through just a couple of weeks ago and met up with the lovely young lady at the centre for some info. The new building is blue and double the size of the photo on this site so we almost drove by! We purchased the pins, postcards and fridge magnets because why not! It's all about supporting the locals. She had some great tips on where to stop for a few things. We loaded up on all the brochures. NOTE: NO PUBLIC WASHROOM available here.

Best barbershop i have ever been to, fresh and clean cut. Felling like all the ladies will be mine. Great service and atmosphere.

It doesn't look like the picture. It's a new facility. Really nice informative staff.

Great feeling to be able to drive to Arctic Ocean and be able to get the feet wet. Amazing community and will leave life long memories.

Amazing. Plenty of fuel stations Eagle Plains, Inuvik and Tuk. Take your time check the ferry schedules and road condition. Just be prepaired and have a excellent reliable mod of transportation. And stop at Grandmas Kitchen😎 Dip those feet in the ocean and try Mukluk. Chances are you wont be back. Enjoy

If you haven't gone, you need to. The town of Tuktoyaktuk is unique and a must visit

Really cool place. No one is really around or maybe I showed up at a slow time. Took forever to get there but super stoked I finally made it.

in Tuktoyaktuk on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, people from around the world come to camp on the beach. it's the festival of the sun! the locals had a parade for all of us there. i understand people have been gathering here for as long as people can remember on the solstice. i saw license plates from Poland, Switzerland, and the US. if this is on your bucket list it's worth the journey.

This is where the trip is for. The dream of driving to the Arctic Ocean and dipping your toe in it finally came true here.

It’s the Arctic Ocean - so the sign is accurate. Surprised that the water is not all that salty and it doesn’t smell like a normal seaside (no seaweed in the water?). Worth the trip to have visited all the oceans of the world.
