Adventure and Aurora Winter Experience

Experience the Aurora Borealis with your own eyes on our adventure Aurora hunt. We’ll find for you the best viewing location to take the perfect photo of the Northern Lights.

Besides the Northern Lights observation you will join a dogsled tour and a snowshoe hike and Ice Fishing experience in the snowy covered winter landscape.  You will also get to visit the Yukon Wildlife Preserve followed by a relaxing soak in the Eclipse Hot Springs – these are just some of the highlights of your Yukon Adventure & Aurora Experience.

Day 1:
Your guide will greet you at the Whitehorse Airport and transfer you to the Sternwheeler Hotel. After the check-in we will meet for a tour briefing and give you an overview of the following days.
In the evening we will pick you up at the hotel to experience the first night of our exciting Aurora hunt.

Day 2:
We still have to get used to the Yukon winter on the second day and start with an easy snowshoeing hike at one of the nearby Lakes. Already during this tour through the snowy winter wonderland you will get to know the beauty of the winter landscape. We have time to try out the favorite sport of the Yukoner – “ice fishing“. With a little bit of luck, we might catch a marvelous Lake Trout or Grayling.

In the afternoon we will teach you to be a Yukon Dog Musher. What is that ? You will know this at the end of the day ! We will take you for a dog sledding trip and you will learn to drive your own dog sled team. Over secluded trails – listen to the quiet whoosh of the runners and the soft panting of your huskies. A dog sledding trip is a real Yukon adventure that will be one of the highlights to your Yukon Experience.

In the evening we will pick you up at the hotel for your second night of our exciting Aurora hunt.

Day 3:
This day will be a more relaxing day.  Your guide will first take you to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve.  Here you will see actual Yukon Wildlife such as Moose, Muskox, Bison, Caribou and many more! This is an excellent opportunity to capture amazing pictures of real Yukon Wildlife!

And next you will have the experience of a relaxing soak in the Eclipse Hot Springs. To breath in the winter Yukon air while relaxing in an authentic Yukon Hot Spring will be a memory you wont soon forget!

In the evening we will pick you up at the hotel for your last night of our Aurora Borealis hunt.

Day 4:
Transfer to Whitehorse Airport and departure or perhaps you want to extend your Yukon experience and take part in another tour offered by us.
