Aurora Hunting Tour

Summer Season: August 15 to October 15

Winter Season: December 01 to April 15

Yellowknife is the best place in the world to view Aurora! If skies are clear you have a 98% chance to see Aurora! However if 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 park and view the Aurora and talk all about Aurora, identify some 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. We are from Yellowknife, we know Yellowknife, we know where the Aurora. Where we go is nothing but wilderness, wildlife and Aurora.

We will take FREE professional photographs of you! 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 look up to enjoy the stars and Aurora! Also enjoy delicious Canadian Maple cookies and yummy hot chocolate, mmmmmmm!

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)
