Northern Lights Viewing Packages In Yukon, Canada

see the northern lights on the ultimate aurora borealis tour package in whitehorse

Seeing the Northern Lights in Canada is a mind blowing and memorable experience that everyone should have.
It’s like Canada Day fireworks, mixed with a sunset, a shooting star and a magic show all at the same time!

Imagine enjoying a bonfire on the shore of a peaceful frozen lake, when someone gasps and points to the sky. As you look up you see a rushing, swirling light dancing across the sky right above you bathing you in a bright green glow. It sways back and forth, changing colours and shape, sometimes flat and suddenly reaching into space.

Seeing the Northern Lights is not something you could get used to. The lights are never the same and every night nature puts on a completely different and spectacular light show for us during these Aurora Borealis tours.

How Can we help you?

When is the best time of year to see the aurora borealis in Canada?

The Aurora Borealis can be seen when a variety of conditions are present. The sky needs to be dark and you need to be far enough north. There needs to be activity from the sun, and the sky needs to be visible. To accommodate all these factors you can narrow down the time and place to increase your chances to see the northern lights in Canada.

Typically winter is the best time to see the Aurora Borealis, with darker night skies as the days get shorter. This is especially true in the far north, since the daylight can be 24 hours in the summer months. You can see the northern lights in the Yukon from October to April. If you travel to the Yukon to see the northern lights anytime between October through April, you have a really great chance of seeing the Aurora light show.

How can i maximize my chances of seeing the aurora borealis in canada?

There are several ways you can increase your chances of seeing the northern lights in Canada. Here are just a few of them:

• Travel to the North

• Time your trip when the moon is not full

• Head far away from city lights for the darkest sky

• Monitor forecasts for Aurora activity

• Extend your trip as long as you can. More nights under the sky= more chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis!

What sort of weather should I expect on an aurora borealis tour in Canada?

Depending on the time you go, the weather can be drastically different. October and April are much warmer than December, though when you’re heading to the North of Canada outside of summer, you are smart to prepare for cold winter conditions.

Typical temperatures in winter are around -30 degrees Celcius. Wind can make this feel colder. Skies are generally clear in the Yukon, since the coastal mountains create a rain shadow around Whitehorse.
