Sorry to be so late on my response. Try phoning the local Holman RCMP and talk to an officer there named Jason he was a big help to us as was Martin at the Arctic Char inn. Get Pat and Gene’s number they can take there boat to Minto to give you a ride back to Holman. I did make it all the way to Holman by canoe on the Beaufort Sea beside the “dreaded cliffs” of Minto Inlet with one canoe. We paddled in heavy seas. I do not recommend this unless you don’t mind risking your life. The taxi ride will allow you to see the inlet from the water, it is breathtaking. The right up is not yet on
www.canoebeyond.com but should be there in the near future. If you give me your email I can send you a trip report and right-up. Keep in mind that the largest boat in Holman is an eighteen foot Lund so the weather needs to be favorable for it to make the 230km round trip. The airfare alone into Cambridge Bay and out of Holman from Toronto cost $3000 Canadian. What a trip it is though, unbelievable!!!
