Northern Lights Tours in Winter
Experience the best of Winter on a once-in-a-lifetime trip in Canada
Canada is home to the wonders of Winter — a pristine, snow-draped wonderland that invites you to embrace its opportunities for adventure, beauty and serenity. A trip here in the Winter season, which runs from November to March, offers unique experiences like dogsledding through snowy forests as you savour the peaceful ambience of a recent snowfall. And nothing compares to witnessing the Northern Lights dance across the skies.
Take in the lights at night and enjoy winter activities during the day
Northern Lights viewing
Experince our unique viewing locations, such as traditional teepees in the forest, a specialized Tundra Buggy, or an active research facility — you can even watch from your own cozy cabin.
Dogsledding
A dogsledding tour is an exhilarating winter activity in Northern Canada and is the ideal way to take in the stunning winter landscapes. Like viewing the aurora borealis, it is truly a bucket-list travel experience.
Snowmobiling
Both a form of recreation and transportation, snowmobiling brings an element of speed to your travel across the frozen landscapes of the north. Enjoy a guided excursion, where you can drive your own machine or ride with a skilled driver.
