About this experience

Hunting for a good spot to view Aurora, we will drive you to different lakes in our quest. The lakes provide a perfect reflective surface for aurora in autumn, further enhancing the viewing. During the Winter season, you may go even further down to the middle of the lakes and be in the middle of the winter wonderland! We will prepare snacks and warm beverages for your experience with us.

If we do not have at least 4 guests to materialize our Aurora by Bus Tour, we will provide you with an option to join other scheduled Aurora Tours available for that night.

We will pick up our Travellers at each hotel and take you to different lake locations to find a great place to enjoy the lights and relax on our luxury buses.
You will admire the northern lights around the lake and see a reflection on the lake when the lights appear.
We will also take photos for all Travellers and teach them how to use their own cameras to take Northern Lights.
During the journey, we will also provide our guests with hot drinks and biscuits, as well as expertise in North Polar Light and Yellow Knife.

If you don’t have enough for a four-person tour on the lake, we invite you to consider taking part in another tour that we already have.
