Put this package on your bucket list! The magic of the Yukon comes to life on this 5-day, 4-night northern adventure. Spend your days exploring Whitehorse, Canada from your centrally located hotel, enjoy a guided city tour, and embark on exciting daytime adventures such as ice fishing, snowshoeing, hiking and fishing.
One of the highlights of this trip is the exhilarating dog sledding experience. You’ll transfer by van to the dog kennel outside of Whitehorse, where you’ll watch your guide harness the dogs and hitch them to the sled. Then, you’ll have the thrilling opportunity to run your own dog team for approximately two hours, creating unforgettable memories of your northern adventure.
At night, we will whisk you away from the city lights to a cozy cabin or wall tent with an outdoor platform for an unobstructed view of the Aurora Borealis. You’ll have three chances to view the mystical Northern Lights on this trip. Warm up with a coffee or tea as you wait by the fire for the Aurora show to start: an eerie green sheen that ripples into the night sky and arcs slowly to suddenly burst across the full expanse of the sky — nature at its best!
