What is the best time to see the Northern Lights in the Yukon?

The best months for Northern Lights viewing in the Yukon are August through March when the nights are dark enough to see the aurora. Whitehorse is one of Canada's top aurora destinations, with viewing possible on clear nights throughout the winter and into early spring. Late summer aurora viewing in August and September is also popular.

What can you do in the Yukon in winter?

Winter activities in the Yukon include dog sledding, snowshoeing, ice fishing, Northern Lights viewing, and snowmobiling. Whitehorse is the main base for winter adventures, with extended dark hours providing excellent aurora viewing conditions.

What can you do in the Yukon in summer?

In summer, visitors can explore the Yukon River, drive the iconic Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean, visit the Gold Rush town of Dawson City, hike Kluane National Park's trails, and experience the midnight sun. The extended daylight hours in summer allow travellers to maximize activities and exploration.

What is the Dempster Highway?

The Dempster Highway is one of Canada's most iconic drives, stretching north from Dawson City through tundra and taiga all the way to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories and the Arctic Ocean. It is one of the only public roads in Canada to cross the Arctic Circle.

What Indigenous cultural experiences are available in the Yukon?

The Yukon has been home to Indigenous peoples for over 12,000 years. Much of the land is still kept by Yukon First Nations peoples. The Kwanlin Dun Indigenous Cultural Centre in Whitehorse is a key destination to explore First Nations art, history, and cultural traditions including beading, weaving, sculpting, dance, and storytelling.

New Brunswick Tours | Fundy Tides, Hopewell Rocks & Acadian Coast

GET A SENSE OF ATLANTIC CANADA

Explore New Brunswick

New Brunswick, Canada's unique bilingual province, presents a compelling destination characterized by its unique blend of dramatic natural landscapes, a rich cultural heritage, and an amazing culinary scene. Situated on the eastern seaboard, the province offers diverse experiences ranging from coastal exploration to immersion in historical narratives.

The geographical distinction of New Brunswick is largely defined by its extensive coastlines and significant inland wilderness. Most notably, the province borders the Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides, a natural phenomenon that has sculpted a unique coastal environment featuring sea caves and geological formations such as the Hopewell Rocks. Beyond the coast, the province's interior comprises vast forests, rivers, and lakes, supporting diverse ecosystems and outdoor recreational pursuits.

Culturally, New Brunswick is profoundly shaped by its Acadian heritage. This vibrant Francophone culture, rooted in the descendants of early French settlers, is a cornerstone of the province's identity. Visitors can engage with Acadian traditions through music, festivals, and historical sites, particularly along the Acadian Coast. This cultural influence is complemented by a rich history of Indigenous communities and English Loyalist settlements, contributing to a diverse social fabric.

The culinary landscape of New Brunswick is increasingly recognized for its emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The province's extensive coastline provides an abundant supply of seafood, including lobster, scallops, and oysters, which are central to its gastronomic offerings. Inland, agricultural traditions contribute to a farm-to-table movement, featuring local produce, cheeses, and meats. This commitment to local sourcing ensures a distinctive and authentic dining experience that reflects the province's natural bounty.

New Brunswick thus offers a multifaceted appeal, combining significant natural attractions, a deep and accessible cultural heritage, and a developing reputation for its authentic culinary experiences. It stands as a distinct and engaging component of Atlantic Canada, inviting exploration and discovery.

Our trip back East was truly amazing and we want to thank you for making it possible to have such a stress free holiday. Everything turned out perfectly. We enjoyed the variety and the different modes of travel and tours. All in all it was a trip of a life time and one that we will not forget.

Just a quick note to thank you for planning my trip to Saskatchewan. I enjoyed my stay there, beautiful province. The hotel locations were perfect, made going around easy :-)

Norma W

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Vasil. He is incredibly patient with my changes and put together the most amazing itinerary.

J Revesz

We had a really great time! The group of 8 was the perfect size. Our tour leader did a stellar job of engaging the group and working behind the scenes to ensure we had a wonderful trip. We dog sledded, snowmobiled and at the end of the night witnessed a dramatic Aurora show dancing across the sky while parked on the frozen lake. It was unreal. Meals were all fantastic as well. The winter clothing package was a must. We will definitively return to Yellowknife, a great winter destination.

Lisa D

Would go on another trip (with Anderson Vacations) any day.

Camile J

This is the second Canadian tour we have done with Anderson and both have been an experience we will never forget.

M Thomas

I love everything Anderson Vacations does and stands for. I am a travel professional in Vancouver. Anderson Vacations assists me by creating amazing custom journeys for my clients. The service is heads above and beyond their competitors. Yesterday Darcie Guarderas our Business Development Manager hosted an educational and fun seminar for her agency partners. With a true passion and customer focus with a lot of humour Darcie led us on a magical trip to Vancouver Island. From academy work at home desk in Vancouver I felt I was having tea at the Empress, I saw the amazing totem poles in Duncan and I visited Chemainus an Coombes. I lived on the island between 1979 and 1985 and I felt that I had gone home again. Thank you so much. It made my whole week.

Philip Beck

The tour was wonderful, and our guides were top notch!!

Debbie

Just want to say I enjoyed all aspects of the tour - to me everything was excellent ............. tour guides (yourselves), hotel (loved it), food (so good), and sightseeing tours (entertaining and informative). I was so impressed with the winter clothing gear - never felt cold at any time other than when I had to take the gloves off sometimes to use the camera. This trip was number 1 on my bucket list so will enjoy the memories!

Marita

The Yellowknife trip was great – the food – your tour guides – the tours – the display of northern lights and Yellowknife itself was just wonderful.
