Canada's cosmic secret

The phenomenon of the Northern Lights has drawn many visitors to the top of the world. The only experience of its kind in North America, winter visitors to Yukon Territory may now view the northern lights from 36,000 feet in the air, taking off from Whitehorse with Aurora 360 from 23 – 27 January 2020.

Once airborne, the pilot will follow a custom flight path, determined by a team of scientists to optimise aurora viewing potential. The full package includes outstanding cuisine, an evening of Yukon First Nations stories and dance, scientific presentations and a special ‘nature day’ showcasing Yukon’s unique land, water and sky. With only 70 seats available, Aurora 360 comes with serious bragging rights!

See the Aurora from the inside! The Northwest Territories sit directly under the aurora oval, making it one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis. Jump on a big-wheeled winter fat bike and make the most of the bike trails surrounding the capital city of Yellowknife. Pause, turn your eyes skyward, and be transfixed by the Northern Lights parading proudly overhead. It’s the ultimate backdrop for an incredible outdoor experience.

Get off the grid in one of Yukon’s remote wilderness lodges, where you can combine aurora viewing with a spot of ice fishing or snowmobiling. Want more? Step back in time in a prospector-style wall tent, formerly used by gold seekers and trappers, just 20 minutes outside the capital city of Whitehorse. Marvel at the ribbons of colour blazing overhead in the night sky, then warm up inside over a wood-fired barrel stove, a mug of hot chocolate, and homemade maple syrup taffy.
