If you need transportation while in Yellowknife you can call or visit the Hertz Airport Office (867-766-3838) to have a vehicle waiting for you at the airport.  To receive the best rate in town, tell them that you are coming to Hearne Lake Lodge.

We use Air Tindi and Ahmic Air for float plane travel to the lodge.

You’ll fly in a Twin Otter, Turbo Otter, Cessna Caravan, Beaver or Cessna 185, depending on the number of guests traveling to and from the lodge that day.

We also use Acasta Heli for off season transportation.

We believe the float plane ride is part of a True Northern Experience & attention to customer service is second to none with these companies.

Our float plane charters are based on your commercial itinerary for arriving and departing Yellowknife.  A stay over in Yellowknife may be required on your way to the lodge. 

When going home, you will be back in Yellowknife approximately 3 hours in advance of your commercial departure or the evening before for an early morning departure.

You can preorder your alcohol at the Liquor Shop and depending on size of order it will be delivered to the Float Base prior to your arrival.

Please note that liquor stores in the NWT are not open on Sundays or holidays.
