Where to go to see the Northern Light

When it comes to seeing the northern lights, there are many incredible destinations worldwide, including Norway, Finland, Iceland, Russia, and the USA. Over our 12 years of operation, we’ve met many travelers who visited these locations with high hopes but left disappointed after failing to see the auroras.

However, when they arrive in Yellowknife, they are often pleasantly surprised and amazed to witness the northern lights on their very first night! Our prime location, directly beneath the Aurora Oval, combined with our dedicated tour guides, significantly increases your chances of experiencing this breathtaking phenomenon. That’s what makes Yellowknife a top choice for aurora seekers from around the world!

Capture the Moment

Photographing the aurora is not for the faint of heart. While some newer phones can capture decent images, a professional camera is far superior for this stunning spectacle. On all of our tours, we offer a complimentary photo-taking service, ensuring you don’t miss a moment.

After the tour, all photos are shared via Google Drive, with the link remaining active for about six months. This gives you plenty of time to return home and download them to your computer if desired. The high-resolution photos are perfect for printing, even in large formats, so you can showcase your incredible experience!
