4- to 6-Hour Northern Lights Tour from Yellowknife

Summary Description

Your evening starts with a pickup from your centrally located Yellowknife accommodation (departure time varies seasonally). Begin the trek out of the city in the comfort of a mini-coach equipped with free Wi-Fi.

Once in the backcountry, guides begin hunting for the best views of the Northern Lights. At each location, you have access to washrooms, the warmth of your transportation vehicle, and, at certain stops, heated tents, and teepees.

Between photo opportunities of the dancing lights, enjoy hot beverages and snacks with your group, and listen as your guides explain how and why the Northern Lights exist in this region of Canada.

After a night of sky-gazing, relax in the comfort of the coach on the return trip. Your adventure ends back at your doorstep in Yellowknife.
