Whitehorse is the Yukon’s hub and a great base for Northern trips. It sits under the auroral oval, by a river, surrounded by lakes and mountains. Activities vary by season, so here’s a seasonal guide with our trips included. Kyle has guided here since 2020.
Use this planner to match your trip to what is on. The northern lights and ice fishing run through the cold months; open-water fishing, the midnight sun and hiking fill the summer.
From late August to April, Whitehorse is one of the better places anywhere to watch the aurora. The darker months are the most reliable. A guided Northern Lights Tour gets you away from town light and chases the clearest skies.
The lakes and rivers around Whitehorse hold big pike, lake trout and arctic grayling. Fish from a boat in summer or through the ice in winter. See Summer Fishing and Winter / Ice Fishing for guided trips.
In June and July the sun barely sets. The long bright evenings are made for being outside late, on the water or the trails, when everything is quiet.
Whitehorse isn’t just about the fish. Explore Miles Canyon, the historic SS Klondike, or take a scenic drive toward Skagway. We offer custom activity packages that mix guided fishing with the best local sights.
Visitors fly into Whitehorse (YXY) and stay in town. Summer is warm; winter is cold and great for aurora viewing. Kyle can plan your day based on the season. Just share your dates.
