Ultimate Northern Lights Yukon

The best seat on the planet to view aurora borealis is the Yukon.

Mother Nature puts on a breathtaking performance with the absolute ideal longitude and latitude from the earth’s magnetic poles (60oN 135oW). Spend three nights away from the city lights at Southern Lakes Resort situated amidst the boreal forest on a calm side arm of Tagish Lake. Lean back, put your feet up and take position in front of the large panoramic windows of your cabin. Let the Northern Lights unfold right before your eyes.

A top-quality winter clothing package is yours for 8 days to ensure a warm, comfortable outdoor experience. –40C rated jacket, pants, boots, gloves, toque and bag are included in all sizes.

Begin your adventure in Dawson City and check in to the historic Downtown Hotel. Join the group for dinner at local favorite Drunken Goat Taverna and later that night cross the frozen Yukon River by mini-coach, head to a comfortable, heated viewing site to experience the way up north Northern Lights!

The next day take a Dawson City narrated walking tour, enjoy a delicious dinner with northern flare at the Aurora Inn and later join our local guide for another Aurora Borealis Tour. Following breakfast see and hear about ‘Life in the Klondike’ Dawson City, the Klondike Gold Fields, and the top of the Midnight Dome before a private transfer to the airport.

Travel to Whitehorse for two nights at the Gold Rush Inn situated close to our handpicked restaurants Giorgio’s Cuccina, Burnt Toast and the celebrated Macbride Museum for a guided tour. A local Whitehorse guide takes us on an educational narrated van tour of greater Whitehorse and a tour of the Yukon Wildlife Preserve before our private transfer to Southern Lakes Resort on Tagish Lake. Hearty and fresh, Southern Lakes Resort Chef’s seasonal creations take you on a culinary journey with Swiss roots. Activities include snowshoeing, a slow and peaceful activity bringing you up close with life in the far north’s boreal forest. Tagish Lake Kennel Tours provides a cradled, safe and comfortable dog sledding experience that departs right from Southern Lakes Resort. Join the group each evening around a warm fire on frozen Tagish Lake to view the theatre in the sky steps from your cozy cabin.
