Hike to Cameron Falls and Lunch. Had a great time!
Had a great tour! Leon did a great job of leading the hike and made sure everyone was safe and included. He had a lot of great information about the falls area and vegetation that we encountered. Lunch was ready when we got to the lodge and he and his team presented a good and filling lunch!

Amazing Aurora Experience!
We had a wonderful experience with Aurora Bus Tours!Our guide, Luke, was amazing. He patiently drove around for a long time to find the best spots for the aurora, and thanks to his efforts, we were able to see a beautiful aurora! ✨The drinks and snacks were also a nice touch. We really appreciated his dedication and would definitely recommend this tour!

I enjoyed this experience.
We had a great aurora show that night! Our guides Wendy and Rupinder were very friendly and patient with a full bus of excited aurora chasers.My only disappointments were that: 1) many other tours and private vehicles go to the same locations we went to, so there were often car headlights flashing and making pictures taking a little challenging. 2) the snack was a small cup of hot chocolate and literally 1 small cookie.

A Bucket list Fulfilled !!
Our guide, Monty was fabulous. Careful with us "older"folk but ever encouraging. He was fun, energetic, careful, knowledgeable & it was soo worth meeting him. He took us on a well balanced adventure. It was a bucket list fulfilled. I wish we had used My Back Yard for seeing the "lights". It was personal & very worth while. A great tour. Ended olur week on a big High ! thank you Monty !

Thank you Tracy and Sim for a great experience at the cozy cabin. They both made you feel welcome and taken care of to have a great experience. The food was delicious. It was a beautiful display of the Aurora and a nice way to end my trip of NWT. I hope our paths meet again. Kathleen from Montreal.

Very nice tour
The auroras weren't great, but our guide did the best possible: found an area near water that had no other buses or cars and we had a good time watching for the lights. They also took our pictures numerous times! Nice guide.

Bison and North Arm Scenic Highway Bus Tour
JOONSEOK_D, Sep 2026
Unique experience
The guide energetically explained many things and was positive and bright. It's true that I was worried I wouldn't see Bison, but she found a clue, and not long after finding that clue, she saw Bison nearby. She continued to show consideration so that Bison could be seen well and paid close attention to ensure a safe viewing. The way to see Bison and the lake we stopped by along the way were also very impressive. If you want a unique experience at Yellowknife, I highly recommend it.

Amazing First Night in Yellowknife
We arrived in Yellowknife yesterday, and this aurora tour made it an unforgettable first night! Our guide Mo first took us to a parking lot where we could already spot a faint aurora glow — a great start. As more people gathered there, Mo suggested moving to a cozy log cabin spot instead, where the aurora was much more vivid and the sky was clearer. Best of all, it felt private — we were the only group there, with no crowds to compete with for a good view. Mo was fantastic throughout, patiently helping us find the best angles and taking tons of beautiful photos for us. Highly recommend this tour for anyone hoping to catch the northern lights in Yellowknife!
