Your itinerary is personalized to suit your dreams and needs:
The fall season is one of the best times to see the Northern Lights in the Northwest Territories! The lack of snow means you can spend your days hiking, fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing. Then, when the sun sets each night, travel to a different viewing location and wait for the Northern Lights to appear in the sky above you — a truly unbelievable sight.
Find out what is included in your trip and have all your questions answered. We are here to help.
Travel into the spectacular Northwest Territories. Land in the capital city of Yellowknife. An area with deep cultural roots and a diverse landscape, Yellowknife sits on the shores of Great Slave Lake.
Yellowknife is a vibrant city with many festivals and events throughout the year. The city gained its name from the copper tools made and traded by the Dene First Nation. Explore the public street art during the day, then wait for tonight's natural art to appear in the night sky.
Yellowknife residents spend their time on and around the water during the warmer months. Spot iconic houseboats, dine on the daily catch, and chat with the locals.
Spend one final day on the North Shore of Slave Lake. Consider venturing to Bush Pilot's Monument for the best view of the city.
All too soon, your Northern Lights vacation comes to an end upon arrival at the airport.
