Join Yukon's First Aurora Hunting Company.
Chasing Yukon’s Northern Lights for 10 years.
Mother Nature is having a party in our Northern skies, and you're invited! Nature Tours of Yukon will be your expert guide to the perfect viewing sites where you can capture that spectacular photo of the Aurora Borealis. You'll board our Aurora van at your Whitehorse hotel; your experienced guide will have checked the weather to determine optimum viewing locations for the evening. Once you've arrived at a prime location you can enjoy a campfire like none other, with toasted marshmallows and hot chocolate under the thrilling Northern Lights.
This is an intimate northern experience with a maximum of eight guests and our company has been certified for Safe Travels by the World Travel & Tourism Council.
Note: This is also a true outdoor wilderness experience, so dress appropriately for the cold and be willing to test out a northern outhouse should the need arise!
Moon or no moon?
Some suggest that moonlight affects your chances to see the Northern Lights. Don't worry, moonlight has no negative effect on sightings. When there is a moon, it will cast a beautiful light on the mountains and forests, creating magnificent foreground lightning for your photos! On new moon nights you will experience extreme darkness and if the sky is clear you will see millions of stars, galaxies and even some planets. With or without moonlight, the show of Northern Lights is always spectacular and unforgettable!

- One night Aurora Hunting with Nature Tours of Yukon
- As we will be traveling short distances of foot over ice, snow and uneven ground- as well as standing around in sub-zero (arctic) temperatures for possibly quite some time- a moderate degree of physical fitness and stamina is required.
- Average winter temperatures are between -2° and - 24° Celsius, but extremes may be as low as -45° Celsius. Upon request you can rent a winter clothing package.
- This is a true wilderness experience, so you won't be at a heated site, and guests should be aware that they need to dress appropriately. Our van will be there to warm up in, but it can only heat up that much in -40C. You also will not have access to proper washrooms, but we will make sure to stop at outhouses where possible.
- Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights are natural phenomena and therefore unpredictable. Weather conditions (clouds) and/or Aurora activity level could affect visibility.
- You will be required to sign a 'release of claims and waiver of liability' form prior to the departure of this tour.
