Since 2007, North Star Adventures has been welcoming travelers to experience the true magic of the Northern Lights.
Years ago, the standard way to view the Aurora was simply to sit inside a heated cabin and wait. But our founder, Joe, decided to do something different. Lacking the capital to build expensive facilities, he relied on a much deeper wealth: the traditional hunting wisdom passed down by his grandfather. Instead of sitting still, he began reading the wind, tracking the weather, and chasing clear skies—pioneering the active, storytelling style of travel now known as “Aurora Hunting.”
For nearly 20 years, our team has shared this genuine connection to the land through our personal winter tours and summer Arctic expeditions. We invite you to experience the wild with those who call it home.
Welcome to the Northwest Territories—Canada’s wild and awe-inspiring North! Venture deep into the heart of Nahanni National Park Reserve, a legendary UNESCO World Heritage Site, where towering canyons and the thunderous Virginia Falls await.
Operating until late August, our summer journeys take you from the mighty Mackenzie River to the shores of the Arctic Ocean under the Midnight Sun and early Summer Aurora. In winter, we offer a strictly limited number of exclusive departures far above the Arctic Circle, navigating legendary ice roads carved through the frozen wilderness. Along the way, you will discover stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and the rich traditions of Indigenous and Inuit cultures.
As a local, Indigenous-owned business rooted in Yellowknife, we provide a personal and authentic connection to these ancient lands. Our goal is to share the true spirit of the North with every guest.
