Product Info

Experience six days of winter adventure in the far north. We’ll take you snowmobiling, kick- sledding, show you the breathtaking winter scenery from above with a sightseeing flight. We let you see wildlife upclose at the “Yukon Wildlife Preserve”. Our ice fishing and snowshoeing tour is one of the best ways to enjoy the tranquility of the Yukon wilderness and to photograph the stunning Yukon landscape while you have a chance to catch a lake trout with the help of your ice fishing guide. On two evenings of your choice, you’ll travel just outside the city centre, but far enough from the city lights to an idyllic Northern Lights viewing location, the AuroraCentre. A winter vacation is truly complete with the chance to view the aurora borealis cascading across the night sky.
