What is included in the Yellowknife Northern Lights tour?

What is the price for 2 people in December?

I am a travel agent currently assisting a client interested in your Aurora package in Yellowknife. I would like to know if you offer any additional optional activities that could be added to the itinerary, such as dog sledding, snowmobiling, or any other activities you would recommend. I would really appreciate any information regarding seasonal activities available during each of these travel periods.

You can certainly add extra tours on your end by selecting the ones you'd like to include when completing your booking. Dog sledding is typically available from December to March. We do not currently book snowmobiling, so we would recommend booking this activity directly with a local supplier.

I am interested in a 5 day/4 night Northern Lights viewing package for 2 adults spanning the New Moon on February 25, 2028. We are interested in daytime activities in Yellowknife of snowmobiling, dog sledding and sightseeing in the Yellowknife area. I understand that you may not have firm dates for February 2028, but I'm interested in a rough estimate for such a package.

It's awesome you're looking at the Yellowknife and Northern Lights trip for 2028. We're actually currently working on the product and pricing for this trip for those specific dates. We should be able to have something ready for you next week, or if not, very soon after.

Dogsledding and snowmobiling available on this tour?

Dog sledding and snowmobiling are not part of the tour but we could add it on for you. Each experience typically costs an additional $225-255 CAD per person to add on. Experience will depend on weather and availability.

We already have our flight and it arrives in Yellowknife at 11:59pm on Tuesday March 17th. I was going to book the tour with Wed March 18th as the first day, but when we arrive and leave the airport it will be 1:00 am Wednesday, so we would need to sleep at the hotel then and again that night. How is this handled?

For a triple share room - there will be two doubles in the room.

Do you have a tour for a small group of seniors? My parents want to see the Northern Lights and are both in their early 80s? They do not have much mobility issues and can walk pretty much most of the places. Occasionally, they will use a cane or poles to navigate uneven terrains.

We have multiple tours available in both Yellowknife and the Yukon. The Yukon might be easiest to get to although there are non-stop flight to both Yellowknife and the Yukon from Vancouver.

Is their a tour in April end?

The guided aurora viewing evenings operate only until April 6, so this tour cannot be available at the end of April.

I was wondering if one would be able to add an extra night at the hotel and if so, what would the cost be? I was planning on arriving late in March 16th (close to midnight), and leaving on March 20th.

We are able to provide you with a pre-night on 16 March - the room is between $260 CAD and $392 CAD depending on which hotel we choose.

What would be the latest flight arrival time at Yellowknife to be assured of making the shuttle for the first night viewing of the northern lights? Not clear about the cancellation policy- 100% refund if cancel 30 days from booking? Refund or credit? Is there a different price for a single room? Where is the 1 night heated seat? I thought we were in a heated teepee every night?

We suggest you arrive into Yellowknife by 5pm at the latest. These are the terms for cancellation: 61 days or more to the departure date, we provide a full refund minus a $75 transaction fee. 60 days to 31 days prior to departure date 50% of the total price. 30 days to, including on and after departure date 100% of the total price. The seat is different to the teepee - the teepee is heated but when you are outside, we offer an upgrade for one to the seat being heated.

At what time do you recommend they book their departure flights?

Book their departure flights from where? If thinking of flying to and from Yellowknife, please try and arrive before 5pm on the 8th and depart as of noon on the 11th. Aurora viewing runs late so you don't want to have to wake up extra early for a return flight.

I was apart of the small group that spoke English. The other groups that spoke different languages were big groups of people. My group arrived a little late, even though it was the small group. Shouldn't have to wait while the hotel lobby is full of other groups. Plus, the 3rd day we finally got to see the Aurora despite being close leaving to go back to the hotel. If we were picked up early, we could have gotten more clear sky, but those clouds just kept coming.Show more

Overall, it was a good adventure. The City Tour was interesting with an excellent guide, Tracy. That was a bonus for the trip. I learned a lot about Yellowknife and the NWT. The Explorer Hotel was very good and a convenient location for pickups & some walking to downtown. The airport shuttles were most appreciated. The delivery of my rental clothing was perfect- in the closet when I arrived a night early. A couple of suggestions - It would help to have the packing list earlier. I could have done some comparison shopping and planned my packing better. The Aurora Village was a good experience, but additional aurora experiences would be a plus. As it was, I skipped one of the Aurora Village nights and went on a cabin viewing experience ( Bucket List Tours) that was a lot of fun and one of the highlights of the trip. I felt like part of a "herd" getting ready to go to the Aurora Village. Once there the "herd" spread out and the smaller groups were appreciated. It was a bit frustrating and delayed to get communication to and from Landsby having to go through Tour Radar. Finally in the end Landsby came through more promptly.Show more
