Review of Yellowknife’s affordable northern lights tour, with three viewing stops, free photos, hotel pickup, hot drinks, and winter advice.

“The tour was poorly run but saved by spectacular aurora show. We waited at the parking lot of our first stop for about 45 minutes too long with no Aurora activity. The guide did a poor job communicating to passengers on board. After seeing several tour vans came and gone, I asked our guide when we will move to the next location. She then contacted her boss and got his okay right away to head to the next stop. The boss is also the photographer for multiple tour vans. We saw spectacular Aurora show at our second and final spot. Before heading back, the boss shared (via air drop) all…”

“This tour was our best of three different ones we did. First Tracy picked us up from our BnB so we didn’t have to drive around for a meeting spot. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and we loved getting to hear about the area and learn about the Aurora. Her kindness and customer service was above and beyond what we expected and she was really helpful in helping us figure out travel logistics as we left. We loved getting to go out to the cabin and stay warm while we waited for the aurora. It was a small group that and didn’t feel like we were being herded in…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 76 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $125

Review of Whitehorse’s Arctic Day Aurora Viewing Tour, with hotel pickup, warm cabins, guides, photography help, costs, and booking tips.

“Our tour guide was very difficult to understand. Her Japanese accent was particularly strong. Although she was reasonable passionate about Northern Lights she lacked the communication skills to engage those on the tour and have any lengthy conversations. The drive out to campsite took 50 minutes and we barely had 10 minutes discussion about what was going to happen or interaction with the guests The fire in the teepee with the marshmallows was good but the tour guide was not there and many of the other travelers did not venture out to it. There was tea, coffee and biscuits available at the main cabin and a slide show of an…”

“Don’t go to Whitehorse for Northern Lights, trust me as an Aurora Chaser who does this all over the world . Gorgeous Mountain View’s but terrible for Northern lights. I could go on and on about why but just trust me . It’s located to far south, mountains /landscape brings a lot of clouds/cloudy nights can’t see Aurora really through clouds. I was there for three weeks out all night every night 90% of the time all you get is a faint green arch low on horizon , not the shapes and movement that we all see on the gram and want to see. Go to Yellowknife is is so…”

Review of Yellowknife Aurora Hunting Tours by Bus, with hotel pickup, wilderness stops, guide photos, snacks, pricing, and practical tips.

“Tina is an excellent guide who took us aurora hunting in Yellowknife. She was very kind and patiently helped everyone on the tour take photos using a high-quality camera. We first travelled by bus to several different locations in search of clear skies. Afterwards, we visited a cozy lounge where snacks, hot chocolate, and washrooms were available for a short rest. Then we headed out to the lakeside to watch the aurora. Although the aurora index was low that night, we were still lucky enough to see the lights dancing across the sky. It was a magical experience and truly a highlight of our trip. Tina was also generous in…”
