Overview

This program offers the best winter activities in far north Canada - dog sledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ice-fishing, wildlife viewing, hot springs, flightseeing and watching the Aurora Borealis! 

During a spectactular sightseeing flight above the surrounding area of Whitehorse you’ll have a chance to see the grand landscape of the far north. We’ll take you to explore the rich history of the Yukon during a city tour, watch local wildlife upclose at the Yukon Wildlife Preseve and relax in the soothing hot waters and sauna of the local hot springs.

Learn how to mush with your team of huskies which will wisk you away onto trails in the winter wonderland. Feel the rush of driving a snowmobile into the backcountry to magnificent view points. You’ll setout on a beautiful winter lake to discover the tranquility of ice fishing. If your are lucky and catch a nice fish your guide will fillet it and cook it on the fire. Set your tracks during a snowshoeing tour among some of the most impressive landscapes.

On three evenings of your choice, you’ll travel just outside the city centre, but far enough from the city lights to an idyllic Northern Lights viewing location, the AuroraCentre. The evenings will feature relaxing Northern Lights viewing beside a cosy wood stove or roaring campfire. A winter vacation is truly complete with the chance to view the aurora borealis cascading across the night sky.

  • Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
  • Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.
