Yellowknife Tours - Aurora by bus
Overview
Hunting for the Aurora, we will drive you to different lakes in our quest. The lakes provide a perfect reflective surface for viewing the aurora in autumn. In the Winter season, you may go even further down to the middle of the lakes! We will provide snacks & warm beverages to enhance 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 take our Travellers in each hotel and take you to different lake locations to find a place to enjoy the great light. We will take photos for Travellers.
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.
