Northern Lights Tours
The Ultimate All-Inclusive Experience in the Yukon
If you’re dreaming of seeing the Northern Lights, there’s nothing quite like joining a well-crafted Northern Lights tour in the heart of Canada’s Yukon Territory. At Northern Lights Resort & Spa, we specialize in more than just tours — we deliver full, immersive experiences under the Aurora Borealis. Whether you’re looking for adventure, comfort, or simply the magic of the sky, our all-inclusive packages bring it all together.
Here’s everything you need to know about booking the perfect Northern Lights tour in Canada — and why our resort offers a once-in-a-lifetime way to do it.
Why Book a Northern Lights Tour?
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural phenomena. But catching them can be tricky. You need the right conditions: clear skies, darkness, solar activity, and minimal light pollution. That’s where our guided Northern Lights tours come in.
At Northern Lights Resort & Spa, we’re located just 25 minutes south of Whitehorse, far enough from city lights but close enough for easy access. Each night, our expert guides monitor conditions and help you witness the best displays with comfort and safety in mind.

The Convenience of Staying In
One of the biggest advantages of our Northern Lights tours? You don’t have to leave the resort to enjoy them. In fact, you don’t even need to leave your chalet.
Our property is situated in a prime aurora viewing area. Guests staying in our Aurora Glass Chalets enjoy panoramic views directly from their bed. Each night, you can choose to join a guided tour in our Aurora Lounge, relax by the fire, or simply watch the sky from your own space. No long drives. No standing in the cold. Just comfort, beauty, and the Northern Lights.
And thanks to our unique Aurora Alarm System, you’ll never miss a display. If the lights appear during the night, the system gently wakes you up so you can enjoy the show at your own pace.
When is the Best Time for a Northern Lights Tour in the Yukon?
Our Northern Lights tour season runs from late August through mid-April, covering all the best months for aurora activity.
-
Fall (Aug–Oct) offers milder temperatures and colorful landscapes.
-
Winter (Nov–Mar) provides the darkest skies and longest viewing windows.
-
Spring (Mar–Apr) combines deep winter conditions with slightly warmer days.
Each season has its charm, and our staff will help you choose the best timing based on your interests, comfort level, and what kind of experience you’re looking for.
