66. Northern Lights tour along the Ingraham Trail in Yellowknife
4.8· 398 reviews· 4 hoursThree hours by bus, guided tour along the Ingraham Trail for Northern Lights views and complimentary snacks, with photo opportunities at picturesque lakes.
“We had an excellent time on the 3-hour Aurora hunting tour by bus. Even with cloudy skies, our driver, Marvin, really went the extra mile to maximize our chances. He took us to three different lakes in pursuit of the northern lights, and we were fortunate enough to see them! The small group size (just five of us in a minivan) made the experience feel personal and enjoyable. Marvin also prepared hot chocolate and brought cookies. His enthusiasm stood out; he took numerous photos for us, which was greatly appreciated since capturing selfies in near-total darkness is quite difficult. In summary, it felt like a true aurora adventure led by someone genuinely invested in making it memorable. I highly recommend this tour!”— Sherpa61043557661
