Tour Overview
Yellowknife is located in Canada's Northwest Territories.
Near Alaska, in the United States, it transforms into a prime spot for viewing the aurora borealis in winter.
Yellowknife's unique location places it squarely within the Aurora Borealis oval.
It's known as Canada's Aurora Capital, and the chances of seeing the lights are so high that it's definitely worth the trip.
Besides enjoying the aurora viewing at night, you can also enjoy ice fishing or dog sledding in the morning.
