Aurora borealis in Canada during the fall

Our Yukon trips are not fully escorted. You will enjoy a selection of guided tours and experiences but will not be tied to a specific group or rigid daily itinerary.

This allows you, with the help of our travel experts, to personalize your trip to suit your interests, availability, and budget. We’ll guide you through the process and provide the reassurance of seamless connections, customer service support, and scheduled activities tailored to your taste.

We partner with trusted hotels in Whitehorse, offering a range of options that combine comfort and local charm. You'll stay near the heart of the city, close to shops and restaurants.

Accommodation options typically include quality 3-star hotels. Final hotel selection depends on your preferences and availability at the time of booking. Please note that Northern Lights vacations include stays in small cities and remote locations, so there is not the same amount of choice as there would be in bigger cities.

In the Yukon, your daytime activities can include dogcarting, flightseeing, wildlife viewing, and relaxing at hot springs. You can explore the province's stunning landscapes and Gold Rush historic sites. With a blend of outdoor adventure and scenic beauty, these activities are a great complement to your nighttime Northern Lights viewing.

Our Northern Lights trips can accommodate children, but there may be a minimum age for some day tours. Winter clothing rentals may be harder to obtain for some ages. It’s important to note that Northern Lights viewing happens late at night, so it may be tiring for some children. Please speak to one of our local travel experts and they can find the best trip options for you.

The best time to see the Northern Lights in Whitehorse is between September and early April, when the nights are long and the skies are often clear. Our local experts can work with you to find a date that aligns with your availability to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.

For your convenience, this trip includes a flight from Vancouver to Whitehorse, Yukon, so you don't need to arrange travel to the Yukon yourself. Other travellers fly directly into Whitehorse, while some choose to drive from British Columbia. We'll make sure your travel details are handled seamlessly so you can focus on enjoying your Northern Lights adventure.
