The attention paid to each and every tour guest that evening, was exceptional. It was like being invited to a family function where laughs and good times were had by all! The lights were an added bonus!

Dale & David C
I really want people to know that your company IS THE BEST CHOICE for chasing the Aurora Borealis!!

Regine Chua
I wanted an adventure, so I decided to go to the Yulon alone. I got the adventure I wanted and it was remarkable.

Lily McKevitt
I flew to Whitehorse only for 1 night in the hope to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). It was a risk as they don't come out every night, but it paid off. At approx 3am the lights came out and it was spectacular.
