About this tour

Yellowknife sits beneath the aurora oval, and clear nights can offer remarkable displays. Guides take you away from city lights to heated viewing spots.

Northern lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed, so we recommend scheduling more than one evening where possible.

Typical highlights

  • Aurora viewing site away from city lights
  • Heated shelter and warm drinks
  • Tips on photographing the aurora
  • Pick-up from hotels
  • Multiple-night options
