This sample itinerary may vary.
DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN YELLOWKNIFE AND FIRST AURORA NIGHT: Arrive in Yellowknife and make your own way to your centrally located hotel. After checking in, time permitting, you may wish to settle in or take a short walk nearby before the evening begins. Later in the evening, depart on your first mobile Aurora Hunting tour, travelling by road to areas with clearer skies based on current weather and cloud conditions. Accommodation: Explorer Hotel (or similar)
DAY 2: YELLOWKNIFE CONTEXT, STORYTELLING, AND AURORA VIEWING:The morning begins with a guided sightseeing tour introducing Yellowknife’s development from gold-mining settlement to territorial capital, with time in key areas such as Old Town and along the lakeshore. In the afternoon, an Indigenous storytelling experience shares Dene perspectives on land, seasonal rhythms, and northern life. In the evening, enjoy dinner at a long-standing local restaurant before heading out on another Aurora Hunting tour, adapting routes as conditions change. Accommodation: Explorer Hotel (or similar)
DAY 3: LAND-BASED EXPERIENCE AND NORTHERN EVENINGS: Spend the morning on a nature hike just outside the city, focusing on reading the land through traditional knowledge, plant awareness, and wildlife observation. The pace is relaxed and designed to provide context rather than physical challenge. The afternoon is free for rest or independent exploration. In the evening, enjoy dinner at a second local restaurant before departing on a mobile Aurora Hunting tour. Accommodation: Explorer Hotel (or similar)
DAY 4: WILDLIFE, LANDSCAPE, AND FINAL AURORA NIGHT: Travel outside Yellowknife on a scenic daytime drive through boreal forest and open terrain. Along regional highways, watch for free-ranging wood bison encountered in a managed but natural environment. After returning to the city, enjoy a final included dinner at a locally established restaurant. Later that evening, head out for a final late-night Aurora Hunting tour.
DAY 5: DEPARTURE FROM YELLOWKNIFE: Make your own way to Yellowknife Airport for departure. This short northern stay can stand alone or connect easily with further travel in northern or western Canada.
