When to see the northern lights in the Yukon

Season runs from late August to April on dark nights. Winter is best for aurora, especially around equinoxes. Tours are unavailable from May to July.

What the tour includes

Three hours at a dark location outside Whitehorse, away from city light.

Hot drinks and snacks while you watch and wait for the sky to open up.

Hotel pickup in Whitehorse and a warm ride out and back.

$170 per person, groups up to 15. Dress warmly; ask us what to wear if you are unsure.

Can you guarantee we will see the aurora?

Be cautious of anyone who guarantees the northern lights. They are natural and visibility varies. We drive to clear skies, increasing chances. Best time is late August to April, especially in darker months.

Make it a night of fishing too

From November to April you can pair the aurora with a night of ice fishing: catch burbot and lake trout by lantern, then watch the lights come up over the ice. See Winter / Ice Fishing for the night trips.
