Northern Lights Magic in the Yukon: The itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
After your arrival at Whitehorse airport, you will be warmly welcomed and taken to your hotel in the city center of Whitehorse. The hotel is close to all major attractions, restaurants, banks and stores so you can easily explore the area. After check-in, there will be an informative meeting where you can find out everything you need to know about the upcoming activities and sign up for optional tours. Take the opportunity to rent suitable winter clothing (optional, extra charge), go shopping or enjoy a dinner to your own taste (not included). At around 10 p.m., you will make your way to a cozy, heated cabin or tent, where hot drinks and snacks will be available. There, you can make yourself comfortable and keep your eyes open so you don't miss the fascinating spectacle of the Northern Lights when they appear. All you need is a clear sky and a little luck. The return to the hotel is around 2 a.m.

Day 2: City tour and transfer to Aurora Lodge
Today you start the day at around 10 am with a city tour of Whitehorse, which lasts around 90 minutes and takes you to the highlights of this charming city. After the tour, you can have lunch on your own at one of the local restaurants before checking out of your hotel at around 1:30 pm. The drive to the lodge takes about 45 minutes and takes you along the South Klondike Highway, where you can admire breathtaking landscapes with majestic mountains and dense forests. Upon arrival at the lodge, your room will be waiting for you and your host will give you a tour of the lodge to show you the common areas both inside and out. Take the opportunity to relax a little, for example in the outdoor jacuzzi, before dinner (included). After dinner, stay awake and keep an eye out for the Aurora Borealis. There is a viewing platform that gives you an excellent view of the night sky. Keep an eye out for the dancing lights, which are sometimes visible for just a few seconds to several hours. Enjoy the peace and quiet and the magical play of light in the sky!

Day 3: Relaxation and nature experiences
This day is free for you to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. You can book optional activities or simply enjoy a relaxing day in the Yukon. Start the morning with a leisurely breakfast at the lodge. Afterwards, if you wish, you can explore an approximately 2 km snowshoe trail around the lodge grounds while enjoying the fresh, crisp air and breathtaking mountain scenery. Alternatively, you can simply sit on your balcony, sip a cup of tea and admire the spectacular panorama while reading a good book. In the evening, you will again have the opportunity to observe the Aurora Borealis on your own, and perhaps the impressive play of light in the sky will show itself again.

Day 4: Check-out and last aurora observations
Enjoy the morning as you wish or book an optional half-day tour to make the most of your stay. Around 11:00 am you will drive back to town, where you will have enough time to book one last optional tour such as dog sledding, a wildlife viewing trip, hot springs or a snowmobile safari. In the evening at around 10 p.m., you will set off again for the last night of aurora viewing, where you will hopefully be able to admire the impressive lights in the sky once again. You will return to the hotel at around 2 in the morning.

Day 5: Departure
Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye today. You will be taken to the airport for your return flight or you can extend your stay in Whitehorse as you wish. With you now: many unforgettable memories of the magical Northern Lights and the impressive landscape of the Yukon.
