Aurora Hunting Tour

Summer Season: August 15 – September 30

Winter Season: December 01 – April 20

Yellowknife is the best place in the world to view Aurora! If skies are clear you have a 98% chance to see Aurora! However skies are cloudy chances are low. Increase your chances to see Aurora with our world famous Aurora Hunting tours!

We take you out and “hunt” for the Aurora! When we reach our destinations we will park and view the Aurora. We will talk about the science of Aurora, identify some of the stars, the Milky Way and maybe see wildlife while driving from location to location!

Each night we don’t know where we are going, it depends on Aurora, the weather and the other tour companies. Some say you can see Aurora from anywhere, not true. Some places may have cloud cover, while other places have clear skies. We know this area, we know the weather patterns, your chances for seeing Aurora is the highest with our world famous Aurora Hunting tours.

Where we go is nothing but wilderness, wildlife and Aurora. Due to the nature of the tour, being more adventurous and late into the evening, age range is 5yrs old and up.

We will take FREE professional photographs of you! Guests are allowed (n+5) free photos, additional photos can be purchased. All FREE photos will have our logo on them. We will be happy to help set your camera so you can take photos of the Aurora.

We have tripods for FREE; please reserve when you book your tour. We also have comfortable folding chairs for you to sit on but some guests like to lay down on the frozen ice and snow and look up to enjoy the stars and Aurora! Also enjoy delicious Canadian Maple cookies and yummy hot chocolate, mmmmmmm!

Because we hunt for Aurora, we offer you the best chances to see Aurora! Other tour companies take you to their camp and stay there, but we will keep moving until we find the best Aurora for you! So if you’re looking for more personal Aurora experience with a 100% Indigenous owned tour company, want the best chances at seeing Aurora and like to meet other wonderful guests from all over the world, then this tour is for you!

Mother Nature is boss, so on some nights the weather is not good with too much clouds and we cannot see Aurora. So try to book your tour after you look at the weather forecast for those dates. Because of this, some months are better than others for viewing Aurora. We recommend the following months (in order of best to worst viewing chances) to visit Yellowknife:

1st best month – September (warm temperatures, Aurora reflecting off the water, amazing!)
2nd best month – August (warmer temperatures, Aurora reflecting off the water, amazing!)
3rd best month – April (blue skies, blue Aurora! sunny days, warmer temperatures!)
4th best month – March (warmer weather, more clear nights, Snow Castle is open!)
5th best month – January (clear nights, very cold, maybe -40C!)
6th best month – February (clear night, still very cold, maybe -40C!)
7th best month – December (some clear nights, some cloudy nights, ice road opens!)
8th best month – October (usually clouds start mid month, low chance to see Aurora)
9th best month – November (usually starts to clear mid month, low chance to see Aurora)
