Aurora Adventures Under Open Skies!

This compact tour offers a perfect blend of activities to give you a taste of Canada’s far north, with some free time built in for you to add on optional experiences of interest. And, of course, each night will include time for the main event: Aurora hunting! Yellowknife is perfectly situated under the Aurora Oval for prime Northern Lights viewing and the temperatures in late summer and early fall are pleasant for spending time outdoors.

Itinerary/Overview includes:

  • Return flight to Yellowknife from Toronto on Air North Yukon's Airline

DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN YELLOWKNIFE & FIRST AURORA HUNT. Arrive in Yellowknife and travel independently to your hotel. After settling in, take time to get oriented and enjoy your immediate surroundings, whether that’s a short walk nearby or a quiet pause before the evening ahead. In the evening, head out on your first Aurora Hunting tour operated by a Yellowknife-based, Indigenous-owned company. Traveling in a small group, you’ll leave city lights behind and move between viewing locations as guides respond to changing sky and weather conditions. Guides share practical insight into how the Aurora forms and what influences visibility, with professional Aurora photography included when conditions allow.

Accommodation: Chateau Nova (or similar)

DAY 2: YELLOWKNIFE CITY TOUR & EVENING AURORA VIEWING. Today begins with a guided sightseeing city tour that introduces Yellowknife’s history, including its mining roots, Indigenous presence, and Old Town, where the community first took shape. The tour provides useful context for understanding Yellowknife as a northern hub. The remainder of the day is free for independent exploration, walk along nearby lakes, visit museums or galleries, or enjoy the city at a relaxed pace. In the evening, head out again on an Aurora Hunting tour, offering a different perspective on the northern sky under changing conditions.

Accommodation: Chateau Nova (or similar)

DAY 3 & 4: INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION & FINAL AURORA HUNT. Enjoy a flexible day to explore Yellowknife at your own pace, whether revisiting familiar areas or discovering new parts of the city. In the evening, join a final Aurora Hunting tour, using the same mobile approach to adapt to weather and sky conditions. This last outing offers another opportunity to experience the northern sky, sometimes with wide-open views or subtle reflections on nearby lakes.

Accommodation: Chateau Nova (or similar)
