Yellowknife Airport - The Explorer Hotel/Chateau Nova-Aurora Lodge Aurora Viewing

Yellowknife Airport - Our driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a sign that reads “Welcome Aurora Tour VIP.” We offer airport pickup service 24/7, so please provide your flight number. We will be at the airport to pick you up according to your actual arrival time. After you collect your luggage, we will guide you through the supermarket and restaurants, showing you how to walk there. Then, we will transport you to either Chateau Nova or Explorer Hotel for check-in.

Yellowknife - Aurora Lodge’s aurora viewing advantages:
➡️ Offers a spacious and warm space, avoiding the cold outdoors or crowded vehicles while waiting for the Aurora.
➡️ Provides snacks, hot drinks, and hot dogs to make the waiting time more relaxed and enjoyable.
➡️ First Nation tepees are available as photography foregrounds, along with fur clothing.
➡️ FREE Aurora pictures will be taken and a drive link will be sent.

Aurora Hunting:
➡️ Visit different lakes with various backgrounds.
➡️ Traveling further increases the chance of avoiding cloud cover. However, the disadvantages are clear. The space inside the vehicle is cramped, and the temperature in Yellowknife is very low during winter, making the inside of the vehicle cold and uncomfortable. Passing vehicle headlights can cause significant light pollution.

❤️ We combine the advantages of both. Visitors can wait for the Aurora in a comfortable lodge, and on cloudy days, we can chase the light in different directions depending on the cloud cover conditions.

City Tour - (Optional Activity) - Aurora Viewing Aurora Lodge + Aurora Hunting

Bush Pilot’s Monument - You’ll see the lighthouse, which reminds people how possible it is to catch the aurora tonight. We’ll stop at the Bush Pilots Monument to honor the heroic pilots.

Yellowknife Visitor Centre and Information - The Yellowknife City Tour includes the Welcome Monument, located near the airport where the first plane landed within the Arctic Circle. There’s a massive “Welcome to Yellowknife” sign, a must-visit spot for photographs. Following this, we’ll take you to the Visitor Centre to receive a complimentary Yellowknife souvenir and a certificate.

Next, we’ll head to the entrance of the Ice Road (accessible in winter) where you can experience driving on ice over a meter thick. In March, we make a stop at the Ice Castle. The tour continues with a drive through the Old Town and the First Nations Reserve, offering a glimpse into the city’s history. Finally, we’ll reach the Pilot’s Monument, the highest point in Yellowknife, providing a panoramic view of the entire city. At the foot of the hill, you’ll find the renowned Bullock restaurant and the most affordable Canadian Goose shop. You can choose to spend some leisure time here or return to the hotel with our vehicle for rest.

(Optional Activity) - Aurora Viewing Aurora Lodge + Aurora Hunting

Yellowknife - Aurora hunting involves taking a bus to various lakeside or roadside parking areas to wait for the Northern Lights. The advantage of this activity is that the photography backgrounds vary, and in overcast conditions, one can increase their chances of witnessing the Aurora by heading to areas with thinner clouds. However, the disadvantage is that passing vehicle headlights can cause significant light pollution. Additionally, the cold winter temperatures, small bus space, and lack of restroom facilities can make the experience uncomfortable. Our Aurora Lodge offers a large space for spreading out your belongings, a warm stove, snacks, hot drinks, and hot dogs at midnight.
