Journey to Whitehorse, Yukon, for big wilderness, cozy comforts, and dazzling Northern Lights. This flexible 2–5 night winter escape mixes guided aurora nights with memorable days—meet Yukon wildlife, soak at Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs, and explore at your own pace.
With upgraded stays, smooth transfers, and optional adventures if you’re feeling bold, it’s all about easygoing fun, balance, and soaking up the magic of the North. Stay 2–5 nights, depending on how much adventure (or relaxation) you want.
DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN WHITEHORSE & AURORA VIEWING
Arrive in Whitehorse and enjoy a smooth transfer to your centrally located hotel overlooking the Yukon River. After settling in, head out beyond the city lights for your first guided aurora viewing experience. A heated cabin provides warmth and comfort as you watch the Aurora Borealis shift and ripple across the northern sky, a quiet, unhurried introduction to Yukon winter.
Accommodation: Edgewater Hotel (or similar)
DAY 2: WILDLIFE, HOT SPRINGS & NORTHERN LIGHTS
Begin with a guided introduction to Whitehorse, exploring Gold Rush history, riverfront landmarks, and modern northern life, then visit the Yukon Wildlife Preserve to see moose, caribou, musk ox, and lynx in their natural winter habitat.
In the afternoon, unwind at Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs with mineral pools, saunas, and cold plunges set in the forest. In the evening, head out for a guided aurora viewing.
Accommodation: Edgewater Hotel (or similar)
DAY 3: CHOOSE YOUR NORTHERN ADVENTURE
Enjoy a flexible day with optional guided activities (at extra cost): dog sledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, kicksledding, or a scenic flight over Yukon’s winter landscape. Return to Whitehorse in the evening, with time to rest before another night of aurora viewing.
DAY 4: DEPARTURE FROM WHITEHORSE
Enjoy a relaxed final morning in Whitehorse. Take a quiet walk along the frozen river, visit a local café, or simply take in the stillness of a northern winter morning before your included transfer to the airport.
