One-night Aurora Tours in Yellowknife, Canada – January 22 to February 8, 2020

We chase the northern lights and travel to different locations (lakes, ice roads..) for various backgrounds and foregrounds. We aim to be on site by 9pm but there is no set start and end time: we closely monitor potential northern light activity and cloud coverage, and we pick you up as soon as there is a chance to see Aurora, so be ready to leave before sunset! We relocate when needed or wanted. We stay out as long as the group decides, keeping in mind that safety (hypothermia) comes first.

For photographers, we provide guidance and advice to set up photo equipment, manual focus at night, and photographing the northern lights throughout the night. A Camera Parka Pro is provided for your DSLR.

For non-photographers, we will take pictures, and give you up to 5 digital files of your choice suitable for 8”x12” prints.

We provide transportation to the different locations to/from your downtown accommodation. We have a Jeep grand Cherokee with heated seats for everyone.
