Top Things to Do

Northern Yukon Aurora Tours

An unsettling sulphurous-green glow starts to spread across the night sky to the north. It grows gently, arcs itself into an ebb and flow, and then abruptly explodes across the entire night sky, dancing and waving as if it were joyful. The Yukon is known for its breathtaking and ethereal views of the Northern Lights. During the day, you may “spice up” your winter experience by scheduling half- or full-day excursions that include dog mushing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and snowshoeing.
