Northern Lights Expeditions

The Northwest Territories is the world’s Northern Lights mecca. Here, the Aurora dance an average of 200 nights per year and you can enjoy two real Aurora seasons: winter and fall. Fall Aurora begins in August, when the midnight sun retires and the Northern Lights come back with the night. Imagine, paddling beneath the Northern Lights as the colours dance on the water. Or camping as the Northern Lights wriggle overhead. All without the need of a -30°C certified parka.

Western Arctic

69°51’N 126°56’W

The Arctic Circle is a line of lore and legend – and the Western Arctic is one of the few places in Canada where you can reach it by river. You can watch the sun spin itself dizzy in the sky, never falling below the horizon. You’ve now crossed into the true polar zone, a mythic region only a fraction of the travellers on Earth have ever entered.

Mackenzie Mountains

62°59’N  129°01’W

The Mackenzie Mountains may offer the greatest whitewater canoeing left on Earth – an endless oasis of remote, rugged uplands, cut through by glacial rivers and bustling with mountain sheep, caribou, moose and other creatures untouched by the modern age.
