Inclusions
Itinerary
Day 1 Whitehorse Southern Lakes Resort
Depart Whitehorse by floatplane or shuttle (floatplane in autumn and shuttle in winter; the floatplane flight is approximately 20 minutes, and the shuttle transfer is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes). Arrive at the resort and check into your private log-built cabin, nestled near the lakeside.
Although part of the compound, the cabins are set far enough from the main building and other guest buildings to create a true sense of privacy. Enjoy a delicious dinner prepared with Yukon flair in the main building. In the evening, look to the sky for the incredible Northern Lights as cascading emerald greens mix with vibrant pinks and blues in a dazzling display.
Overnight at Southern Lakes Resort in a Lakefront Cabin
Day 2-3 Southern Lakes Resort
After breakfast, whether accompanying your guide through the local trails to track moose, wild sheep and other large inhabitants of the forest and lake lands, or strapping on snow shoes to complement your cold weather gear and trek across the crystalline wonder of a frozen winter world, the magic of the Yukon is yours to discover over the next two days. In the evening, watch for the Northern Lights, the most spectacular natural fireworks in the world.

Our motto for Independent Holiday Packages is start your holiday when and with who you want!
Our Independent Holiday Packages are NOT group tours with set departure dates. Group Tours have specific set departure dates, and of course, you are travelling with unknown passengers in a coach. These tours are great for certain travellers and there are many reputable tour operators providing a wide range of options around the world.
At Entire Travel Group, our focus is Independent Holiday Packages. Available daily, they are pre-designed, purpose built, packaged itineraries full of memorable experiences delivered by our hand-picked local partners.
Our holidays suit every demographic, from couples to singles, to retirees to families and everyone else in between.

Can you book my international airfares?
On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.
However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.
We found that many customers may prefer to:
- Travel on a specific airline of their choice
- Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
- Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
- Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
- Use their travel agent for this service
We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.
Should I take travel insurance?
Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.
What should I do before travelling?
Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia. It is your responsibility as the traveller and/or travel booker to meet all government entry requirements.
