    BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Iqaluit

    BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses that have safe space to store your stuff. Each location is vetted, your bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no hassle.

    Iqaluit draws visitors for Arctic adventure travel, Inuit cultural experiences, wildlife viewing, fishing, and government business. Since everyone arrives by air, most people land with bags and want to start exploring right away. The terrain around here is rocky tundra, gravel roads and uneven ground. Not luggage-friendly at all.

    • You're heading out on a tundra excursion and want to leave extra bags in town.

    • Search the map for an address, neighbourhood or landmark.
    • Pick a BagDrop location and book online. Takes about 30 seconds.

    Where can I store luggage in Iqaluit?

    Iqaluit is unlike any other capital city in North America. The capital of Nunavut sits on the shores of Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island, well above the Arctic Circle. The population is about 8,000 people, there are no roads connecting it to anywhere else, and you can only get here by plane or boat. It's remote in the truest sense of the word, and that's exactly what draws people here.

    The city blends Inuit culture with the wild Arctic landscape. The Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum showcases Inuit art, carvings and cultural artifacts. Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park is just outside town, with trails through tundra, river crossings, and Arctic char fishing. The community of Apex, a short drive from downtown, is one of the oldest Inuit settlements in the area. In summer, the midnight sun means 24 hours of daylight, and you can hike the tundra at any hour. In winter, dog sledding, snowmobiling and Northern Lights viewing take over.

    Iqaluit is a place where you want to be out exploring, not stuck carrying luggage. BagsAway has storage locations in Iqaluit inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, and head out to the tundra. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

    Where to find luggage storage in Iqaluit

    Iqaluit is a small city, but our BagDrop network covers the key areas. Here's the layout:

    Downtown Iqaluit

    Downtown Iqaluit centres around the main commercial area along Federal Road and the surrounding streets. This is where you'll find the shops, restaurants, the post office and government buildings. The streets are gravel in many places, and the terrain is uneven. Pulling a roller bag through gravel is a workout. Drop your bags at a downtown BagDrop and walk around freely.

    Frobisher Bay waterfront

    Frobisher Bay is the body of water that Iqaluit sits on, and the shoreline is a central part of life in the city. In summer, boats come and go and you can walk along the rocky shore. In winter, the bay freezes and becomes a highway for snowmobiles. The waterfront area is rocky and uneven, so bags are a real hindrance. Store them and enjoy the views.

    Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum

    The Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum is housed in a former Hudson's Bay Company building and holds an impressive collection of Inuit carvings, prints, clothing and cultural artifacts. The museum is small and the space is limited, so large bags would be in the way. Leave your stuff at a BagDrop and take your time with the exhibits.

    Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park

    Sylvia Grinnell Park is a short drive or long walk from the centre of Iqaluit. The park follows the Sylvia Grinnell River through tundra landscape, and the trails are rugged. You might spot Arctic char in the river, caribou on the hills, or Arctic foxes. This is real wilderness hiking, and there's no way you're doing it with luggage. Stash your bags in town first.

    Other luggage storage options in Iqaluit

    Options are limited in a city this size, but here's what's out there.

    Iqaluit Airport (YFB)

    Iqaluit Airport is the only way in and out for most visitors. The terminal is small and doesn't have public luggage storage lockers. If you've got a gap between flights or before check-in, a BagsAway BagDrop in town is your best bet.

    Hotel storage

    Hotels and inns in Iqaluit will usually hold bags for current guests. Options are limited though, especially during peak travel season when accommodations book up quickly. BagsAway gives you a guaranteed, insured option.

    Tour operators

    Some Arctic tour operators may hold bags for their clients during excursions, but it's not a guaranteed service. If you're spending time in Iqaluit before or after a guided trip, a downtown BagDrop is the reliable choice.
