Perfect bucket list experience

5.00Wonderful experience! The tour guides were so kind and friendly, it was so helpful to have our days booked out in advance and to not have to think about driving ourselves, and we weren't cold at all with the winter clothes we rented and the warm yurts to stay in when waiting for an aurora showing. We got extremely lucky with the display on our second night, too! It was so amazing we didn't even bother to go on the last night because nothing would ever top it. It was one of the most stunning nights of our lives. One recommendation - if you're thinking of getting a new phone any time soon, do it before your trip! I got good photos with my older iphone but some people got national geographic-worthy photos with their newer phones!
Trip of a lifetime

5.00We took the 4 day, 3 night Aurora viewing package with a city tour and visits to the wildlife preserve and Eclipse Spa. Everything was great, from the initial booking and speed of answering our questions to the tours, and the Aurora viewing was spectacular. The bus rides were safe and comfortable, and our guides Lawrence, Maya, and Sunje (hope I'm close in spelling) were fun and informative.
Wonderful Experience

5.00The Arctic Range tour guides were the absolute best anyone could ever imagine or experience. They were mostly world-wide foreign nationals on Canada short-term work visas with multiple language skills (English + at least one other). All were ultra friendly and very knowledgeable about local things of interest. Highly recommended to experience the tour guides regardless of whether the auroras appear. First two nights were cloudy/snowy and not much to see but the guides made it an enjoyable midnight outing anyway. Third night was a spectacular aurora display that totally stunned everyone including the tour guides. What a great show. Kudos to Arctic Range tours, and the Canada/Yukon governments, for supporting the visa program for foreign nationals seeking work as tour guides - it works! We can only hope that many of these guides chose to remain in Canada and continue their contribution to Canada's future. Good-on-you all.
They'll do their best to make your trip memorable

5.00This company does everything it can to make sure you have a great experience. Keep in mind that they don't control Mother Nature, but they do their best to entertain you with talks in the teepees or marshmallow roasting while waiting for the skies to light up. Every staff person we had over our 4 days was helpful, courteous, and fun. We loved them all. We felt bad we had no paper currency on us to tip them, because believe me, they all deserve it. This is a well-run trip, from transfer to and from the airport to customizing your experience according to your tastes. Our flight times kept getting changed, but we kept Arctic Range in the loop and our transfers were easy and seamless on each end. We rented the extra insulated clothing package, which we ended up not needing since it was unseasonably warm while we were there, but better safe than sorry. And not being properly dressed would be MISERABLE! You may have as few as 8 people with you during viewing night (this was us in January), or a large group of 100 if it's the busy Christmas season, but it doesn't matter since they group you in small shuttles by language and provide a tour guide/driver pair for each shuttle. They make you feel welcome and make sure you get the pictures you want (assuming the sun has done its part by shooting out solar flares). There are multiple yurts and teepees, so you won't feel crowded. There are also tripods set up for you to use, and the guides will help you with your phone camera settings to get the best pictures. There's even two outhouses that are heated enough that you won't freeze to death while doing your business, though the updraft from the pit below is definitely a wakeup call. Some reviewers have complained about the staff having accents. Yes, most of the guides are from other countries, since they need to be multilingual in order to communicate with visitors from all over the world. We had no problem understanding them and enjoyed swapping travel stories. I found that having guides from different countries was a plus, not a minus, to the tour. We used the NOAA experimental 2 day Aurora prediction tool you can find online, to see whether we were going to be lucky each night. Even if it looks hopeless, you should go out at least one night to experience roasting marshmallows in the teepees, listen to the silence, watch the stars (or the fat drifting snowflakes), and enjoy the multicultural visitors and their stories. Loved it. You should go. Best of luck with your Aurora viewing!
Great staff made our tour very special.

5.00We took a 4 day tour with 3 nights Aurora viewing. We could see Aurora on 2 nights. Aurora was not as bright as I expected but it was still magical. With our I phone, we could take pretty good pictures. The best part of this tour was the staff. They were very interesting people and we had a great time chatting with them. Special thanks to Maya, Kim and Sho-san.
Good experience

Epic winter experience managed by a professional team

5.00We did the three-night, four-day tour with Arctic Range and loved every minute of it. While we were only able to see the Northern Lights for one night (it was too cloudy the other two nights), it still made for a wholly remarkable, memorable trip. The "office team" at Arctic Range was very helpful in rearranging our schedule when we decided to throw in two additional activities (dog sledding and snowmobiling -- both very much worth it), and the "field team" that actually conducted the tours were among some of the friendliest, most professional and accommodating young folks you'll ever meet. (Whitehorse draws people from all around the world, and the Arctic Range staff represents that diversity, which we really came to appreciate.) Very glad we did the clothing rental (we did the "Arctic Winter" package); we were able to wear a couple of light and mid-weight layers under their pants and parkas and stayed plenty warm. Wouldn't hesitate to re-book the same tour again.
Excellent experience with Arctic Range

5.00Every single one of the Arctic Range staff was amazing. Super friendly, helpful, and top notch service. Literally started from when they picked us up from the airport through every single activity. Their Aurora Center is a great location to wait and watch the lights. Drinks and snacks in the cabin, roast marshmallows in the teepees, and hang out in the Yurt. While there’s no guarantee of seeing the Aurora, they always make the customer the priority. Highly recommended!
