On our Best Value Aurora Viewing tour, you’ll discover scenic Whitehorse, the Yukon’s capital; surrounded by endless mountains. On successive evenings, you’ll travel just outside the city centre, but far enough from the city lights to an idyllic Northern Lights viewing location, the AuroraCentre. The evenings will feature relaxing Northern Lights viewing beside a cozy wood stove or roaring campfire, the perfect way to enjoy your relaxed vacation. On a half day hiking tour you’ll get to see some of the most breathtaking views of the Yukon’s landscape and scenery. You will also visit the Yukon Wildlife Preserve where you’ll have the opportunity to view and photograph wildlife in its natural habitat. To cap of a great day, we’ll travel to the nearby Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs. On free days you can choose from optional summer sightseeing, shopping and touring in and around the capital.
