The best Aurora Borealis package
While the Northern Lights are active all year round we need darkness to be able to spot them. Our fall Aurora Borealis package is perfectly timed. You can get a chance to see the northern lights but also can still enjoy some fun day time activities without getting too cold.
Why to choose us ?
This is the perfect little fall get away. Enjoy 3 nights in our cozy wilderness lodge, away from the light pollution of the city and get a chance to see the northern lights from your bed room window.
During the day time we will take you for a fun guided half day paddle on the Takhini River. Followed by a guided visit to the Yukon Wildlife preserve. The following morning you will join a train run with our sweet and cuddly dogs.
