Welcome to Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's Northwest Territories! We will pick you up with our complimentary 24-hour pick-up service from the Yellowknife Airport (YZF). Our tour guide will be wearing a red Canada goose jacket and holding a pick-up sign with your name on it. Shortly after, the tour guide will drop you off at your hotel to check in.
Yellowknife Town is one of the three major aurora viewing places in the world! It has a very special geographical location and natural conditions that allow the aurora to be seen approximately 240 days a year. When night falls, in order to stay away from the city's light pollution, we will drive to the Indian Hunting Tent Valley Camp. This special camp will provide hot drinks and snacks for guests. The guests will even have the opportunity to meet a native Indian hunter who will demonstrate their hunting methods and the wildlife they have caught. After the aurora appears, we will follow our guide to capture memorable photos which will be uploaded to the cloud for free downloads.
In the case of any heavy wind or snow, our experienced driver will take you to the lake or forest where it is also possible to see the aurora.
You are free today to participate in various activities at your own expense. In the afternoon, we will start a 1–2-hour city tour of the amazing town of Yellowknife! We will visit the Big Slave Lake, old city, the Indian reservation, the Pilot Monument, and many other fascinating attractions! You can also pick up a yellow knife and a polar certificate at the visitor center if you wish! In the evening, we will proceed to start the aurora tour again! We will continue to capture true moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life!

“Ali Travel's service is excellent, and the advisors at every store are professional. We are two seniors and have travelled with them to Cuba, Yellowknife, the Dominican Republic, Cancún and China — every experience was fantastic.…”
“The whole trip went very smoothly. Canace was very professional — she managed the route and timing well and solved any issue promptly, which took a load off our minds. The pacing was just right: relaxed, not exhausting. A very go…”
“Ali Travel was great and professional, highly recommend! Their pricing was competitive and they had a lot of variety to choose from. I look forward to booking with them again for my next vacation!”
