Introduction: To the north an eerie, sulfurous-green sheen begins to ripple into the night sky. It arcs itself into an ebb and flow, slowly growing, then suddenly bursts across the full expanse of the night sky waving and dancing as if it were happy. It’s the spectacular and mystical Northern Lights, and viewings such as the one above are common in the Yukon.
During the day you can "spice-up" your winter experience by booking half or full day tours of dog mushing, snow mobiling, ice fishing & snow shoeing.
Accommodation is included in Whitehorse, however the Northern Lights viewing takes place at a cosy, heated, traditional cabin or wall-tent located 20 minutes north of Whitehorse with an unobstructed (no mountains or trees) and undisturbed (no light pollution) view due north. Hot drinks and snacks are provided.
Please note: You can substitute one night of accommodation in Whitehorse for an unforgettable night at the purpose built "Caribou Tent" and watch the Northern Lights from the comfort of your own private viewing facility! See Detailed Tour Itinerary for more details, or speak to Kumuka or your travel agent.
