The regions

Where should you go in the Yukon?

The Yukon is vast and lightly populated, so the right lodges, guides and flights make all the difference. We plan aurora-viewing stays, scenic drives and small-plane flights so you can enjoy the wilderness in comfort.

Questions

Questions travelers ask about the Yukon

The northern lights are visible from late August to mid-April, when the nights are dark. Clear, cold winter nights away from city lights offer some of the best viewing.

Most travelers fly to Whitehorse through Vancouver or Calgary. We arrange the connections and plan smaller flights to Dawson City or over Kluane National Park.

Five to seven days allows time for Whitehorse, a few nights of aurora viewing or a drive to Kluane. Add three or four days for Dawson City.

Yes. The Yukon pairs well with an Alaska cruise or land journey, by road through Skagway or by flights from Whitehorse.

Yes. U.S. citizens flying to Canada need a valid passport. Entry rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.

Temperatures can drop well below zero in winter. Many aurora lodges provide insulated outerwear, and we share a detailed packing list before you go.
