Excellent way to see the Aurora Borealis

JJ503, Sep 2026
Excellent way to see the Aurora Borealis
Booking was easy; communication about payment and pick-up was prompt and accurate; and the actual experience was excellent. Luke was the driver/guide who clearly explained where we were going and why. He knew where to find clear skies. When we were fortunate enough to see the Aurora Borealis, Luke patiently took many photographs for the participants. We were out from 9 p.m. till past 2:30 a.m., it was totally worth being out and being cold (dress warmly) for the amazing Aurora Borealis display we saw around 1 a.m. Being in a bus is a big advantage as we could move around to search for the Aurora Borealis.

I went far away by bus and saw a beautiful aurora.
We participated as a family, and the bus was spacious and comfortable, and very kind. I only know a little English, but I managed somehow. He ran quite far looking for a sunny spot. I think it went even further east than Prelude Lake. On the way home, I saw a very large aurora in the bus. Since it stopped right nearby, everyone was able to take wonderful photos. He took pictures of the participants with his smartphone and sent them to me later via email. The hot chocolate with marshmallows was delicious too. Thank you!

Great service and lots of information!
The tour guide picked us up from our hotel and drove us around Yellowknife City. They provided detailed explanation of the museum and made sure everyone was within the area as they explained.We also visited souvenir shops with little tidbits here and there about the local history. We stopped by the Bush Pilots Monument and got a great view of the city. At the end, they also brought us to a Diamond and Jewelry Center with a short video on the mining history of Yellowknife.Overall, the tour gives you an idea of the history, culture, and livelihood of Yellowknife. At the end, you get a certificate at the Visitor Center with fun stamps! Drop off is anywhere you’d like within the city or back to your hotel.

My partner and I had an amazing 4-day guided tour to Yellowknife with First Express Travel. The 3-night hotel stay was comfortable, and we loved exploring Old Town and Great Slave Lake. The highlight was Day 3 when we witnessed the breathtaking Aurora Borealis—it was truly magical! The guides were fantastic and ensured we had the best views. The trip was seamless, and we highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an unforgettable Northern Lights experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the aurora's because of cloud coverage, but that is most definitely NOT the company's fault. Living near the Equator, we don't have snow, so it was excellent just to be in the snow. The dog sledding ride was awesome too. The dogs are very well looked after.
