Hunting for a good spot to view Aurora, we will drive you to different lakes in our quest. The lakes provide a perfect reflective surface for aurora in autumn, further enhancing the viewing. During the Winter season, you may go even further down to the middle of the lakes and be in the middle of the winter wonderland! We will prepare snacks and warm beverages for your experience with us.
If we do not have at least 4 guests to materialize our Aurora by Bus Tour, we will provide you with an option to join other scheduled Aurora Tours available for that night.
We will pick up our Travellers at each hotel and take you to different lake locations to find a great place to enjoy the lights and relax on our luxury buses.
You will admire the northern lights around the lake and see a reflection on the lake when the lights appear.
We will also take photos for all Travellers and teach them how to use their own cameras to take Northern Lights.
During the journey, we will also provide our guests with hot drinks and biscuits, as well as expertise in North Polar Light and Yellow Knife.
If you don’t have enough for a four-person tour on the lake, we invite you to consider taking part in another tour that we already have.

1.00it was a tour guide and a driver. The driver was very rude, and did nothing but drove the tour bus. which is kind of ridiculous because the guide can just drive. I think that's what makes this tour more expensive than others and the funny thing is it doesn't make any difference at all. this waste of manpower leads to the waste of your money. the guide was chinese, it was hard to understand her for a non-native english speaker like me
Mindblowing

5.00We could hardly believe what we were seeing! I've been obsessed wit h the aurora and following every photo and video anyone posts, and I had no idea they could be this amazing. I'm so grateful to our hardworking guide Janet for chasing the lights around three lakes and advising the bus driver to pull aside on the road, where we saw the most mind-blowing display around 1:30 am for the grand finale. She also pointed out a fox and shooting star. Janet also took beautiful photos of the lights and us experiencing the wonder.

5.00Witnessing the light was a fantastic experience, even though it was quite cloudy at midnight. We went to three lakes to hunt the aurora. Snacks and hot drinks are provided on the bus.
