2 Days Aurora Experience in Yellowknife
Description
This aurora experience is designed for travellers who want maximum results in minimum time. Over just two nights, you’ll chase the Northern Lights across three of Yellowknife’s most iconic viewing locations—Prelude Lake, Pontoon Lake, and Hidden Lake. Each destination offers a completely different foreground, landscape, and sky perspective, giving you a rare and diverse set of aurora memories that most visitors never get in a single trip. Unlike standard tours that stay in one spot or follow crowded routes, this experience is crafted with insider knowledge built from years of guiding in Yellowknife. You’ll visit hidden vantage points that only local guides know how to reach safely in winter conditions. Small groups mean more mobility, more flexibility, and the best chance to adapt to weather—and it also means your guide can focus on getting the perfect photos for you at every stop.

Wow! Amazing time, with Luke guiding us all the way. Knowledgeable about everything, especially why the first night's display didn't match the forecast. And how the second night far exceeded it! Took us around, helped us with camera settings and advice for photos, moved to the next spot when it was the right time, which he knew on the button. Kept us warm with hot chocolate and goodies. Beautiful experience!...and so many pictures.
Luke was nothing short of incredible!! We were lucky to have such a knowledgeable and friendly guide who was so invested in making our experience incredible. Luke went above and beyond to helping us catch sight of the auroras and his enthusiasm was infectious - it's rare to be guided by someone with so much natural hospitality. Thank you Luke, we're sorry for forgetting to tip, it doesn't come naturally coming from the UK but we wish we could in retrospect.
Luke was very friendly engaging and personable. We were able to see the Northern lights and it was beautiful. Thank you for accommodating us. Joycelyn
