Embark on a soul-stirring adventure with Arctic Duchess Adventures in Yellowknife, where you’ll combine the thrill of an Arctic cold plunge with the soothing warmth of a traditional Nordic sauna. This 1 hour and 45-minute communal session is designed for adults seeking both excitement and relaxation in the heart of the Northwest Territories’ wilderness.

Begin your journey with a safe, fiberglass plunge ice insert—complete with stairs and ladders for easy access—allowing you to experience the exhilarating chill of Arctic waters. After your plunge, retreat to one of several heated facilities, including a barrel sauna and cozy hosting tents. The saunas are uniquely heated by the legendary Acasta Gneiss, the oldest rocks on earth, infusing your session with a special energy from the high Arctic.

Towels and shoes are provided for your comfort, while plush robes are available for an additional fee. Although shower amenities are not included, warm towels and comfortable changing rooms ensure you leave refreshed. Please consult your physician before participating, and note that all guests must be 18 years or older. Transportation is not provided, so plan your journey to the meeting point at the entrance to the ice road in Oldtown. This communal session is ideal for those eager to embrace both the icy excitement and cozy relaxation of the Arctic.
