Yukon Ultimate Northern Lights Tour

Landing at the Whitehorse airport, you’ll be picked up and taken to your hotel. Here, you’ll get a quick orientation and you’ll have a chance to customize your tour, choosing from various activities and renting the appropriate gear.

After you’ve had a chance to relax, you’ll meet your guide around 10 pm and head out to a local spot and get your first glimpse of the magical aurora borealis light show.

Wake up whenever you feel like it and enjoy the morning at your leisure. At noon, you’ll begin a guided snowshoeing adventure, followed by a guided tour through the Yukon Wildlife Preserve. Keep your eyes peeled for elk, moose, and arctic fox. Back at the hotel, you’ll have some downtime—you can choose to explore Whitehorse or socialize with the group over dinner. Around 10 pm, you’ll set out for another magnificent night under the surreal skies filled with the northern lights.

Relax in the morning to recuperate from late nights gazing at the sky. Bid farewell to your gorgeous hotel and new friends, and get an airport transfer when you’re ready to leave for your flight.

If you want to extend this tour to 4 or 5 days, please see below for additional day details.

Every additional night gives you a better chance of seeing the magnificent Northern Lights. You can choose which excursions to participate in on your additional days, including exploring nearby frozen lakes, ice finishing, dog sledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and seeing popular Whitehorse attractions. One activity takes you to Carcross, the famous endpoint of the Chilkoot Trail, where the gold rush had a heyday over a century back.

Each night, you’ll be treated to the wondrous light show that the northern sky puts on. You’ll also huddle around a bonfire, a great opportunity to share the highlights of this trip.
