Itinerary

Day 01
Yellowknife

Home - Yellowknife

Meal: B:Excluded L:Excluded D:Excluded

Welcome to Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's Northwest Territories! We will pick you up with our complimentary 24-hour pick-up service from the Yellowknife Airport (YZF). Our tour guide will be wearing a red Canada goose jacket and holding a pick-up sign with your name on it. Shortly after, the tour guide will drop you off at your hotel to check in.

  

Yellowknife Town is one of the three major aurora viewing places in the world! It has a very special geographical location and natural conditions that allow the aurora to be seen approximately 240 days a year. When night falls, in order to stay away from the city's light pollution, we will drive to the Indian Hunting Tent Valley Camp. This special camp will provide hot drinks and snacks for guests. The guests will even have the opportunity to meet a native Indian hunter who will demonstrate their hunting methods and the wildlife they have caught. After the aurora appears, we will follow our guide to capture memorable photos which will be uploaded to the cloud for free downloads.

In the case of any heavy wind or snow, our experienced driver will take you to the lake or forest where it is also possible to see the aurora.

Yellowknife

Free time in Yellowknife - Aurora Viewing or Aurora Hunting

Meal: B:Excluded L:Excluded D:Excluded

You are free today to participate in various activities at your own expense. In the afternoon, we will start a 1–2-hour city tour of the amazing town of Yellowknife! We will visit the Big Slave Lake, old city, the Indian reservation, the Pilot Monument, and many other fascinating attractions! You can also pick up a yellow knife and a polar certificate at the visitor center if you wish!

  

In the evening, we will proceed to start the aurora tour again! We will continue to capture true moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life! 

 



Recommended free activities in the morning: Century Square Mall.

Food recommendations (at your own expense): The wild steak and venison steak at the Internet celebrity Bullock restaurant are a specialty that you must try!

Other suggested activities (optional) in the morning:


Autumn: 

1. Boating (Lunch Included)

2. Boat Fishing (Without Meals)

3. Walking Tour to Cameron Falls


Winter:

1. Dog sledding (15 minutes sled run with toasted marshmallows and snow yo-yo experience).

Dog sledding was originally a common means of transportation for Eskimos, but today, it is a true outdoor experience during the winter! Today, you can experience the pleasure of a ride through the vast snowy sea or even play snow yo-yos which is a preferred indoor sport during the winter. You can even roast delicious marshmallows and pose with snowshoes while dog sledding.

Please be aware that there can only be 12-16 Alaskans/Huskies for 2-4 people on a 15-minute run by the forest lake.

2. Ice Fishing (2-3 hours with fish meal, winter only).

Experience a one-of-a-kind Ice-Fishing tour! Learn how the locals set up nets by the lake to fish and gather their next meal. They will even show you how they cook and kill fresh fish on the spot. Make sure to taste a bowl of delicious fresh fish soup paired with a special Indian pancake to keep you warm. 

3. Snowmobile (per person per hour or two person per vehicle, winter only).

There is nothing more exciting than driving a snowmobile! Unlike the motorcycles that we see on the road with wheels in our daily life, the snowmobiles in Yellowknife do not have wheels. The tracks of snowmobiles allows them to drive more stably in the snow. For safety reason, you will be equipped with a brand-new snowmobile and a heated helmet and escorted by a professional guide with years of experience.



  

Notes:

1. From August 14th to the October 15th, it is unable to participate in activities for snow season, please understand.

2. The winter season usually from 12/01 to 03/31, and whether you can participate in self-funded activities depends on the snow amount. If you are unable to participate in any self-funded activity due to weather reasons, we will fully refund the fee you have paid for the activity.
