Yellowknife Airport - Welcome to Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories! We will pick you up with our complimentary 24-hour pick-up service from the Yellowknife Airport (YZF). Our tour guide will be wearing a red Canada goose jacket and holding a pick-up sign with your name on it. Shortly after, the tour guide will drop you off at your hotel to check in.

Yellowknife - Yellowknife Town is one of the three major aurora viewing places in the world! It has a very special geographical location and natural conditions that allow the aurora to be seen approximately 240 days a year. When night falls, in order to stay away from the city’s light pollution, we will drive to the Indian Hunting Tent Valley Camp. This special camp will provide hot drinks and snacks for guests. The guests will even have the opportunity to meet a native Indian hunter who will demonstrate their hunting methods and the wildlife they have caught. After the aurora appears, we will follow our guide to capture memorable photos which will be uploaded to the cloud for free downloads.

In the case of any heavy wind or snow, our experienced driver will take you to the lake or forest where it is also possible to see the aurora.

Yellowknife - During the day you will enjoy free time in Yellowknife to explore the town or participate in local activities at your own expense.

When night falls, in order to avoid light pollution in the city, we will depart from the hotel at about 22:00 to the Tipi tent camp to capture the breathtaking aurora. There will be two experiences of camp and chasing the aurora light every night. The chasing light stops by the forests which are located by the lakes. Guests who do not want to chase the Aurora may choose to stay in the camp and wait for the aurora there instead.
