Wendy was a very professional guide. They are definitely Aurora chasers. We booked 2 day for tour with them and found them punctual, courteous and professional. Would recommend them for Aurora 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.

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.

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!

We had a wonderful experience on our aurora hunting tour. As the other participants canceled, the tour became a private tour just for the two of us. Our guide, Ravidson, kindly took us to several different spots by the water so we could see and photograph the aurora reflected on the surface, which was exactly what we had hoped for. He respected our wishes and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each location without rushing us. Thanks to him, we were able to see the beautiful aurora reflected in the water, as well as the spectacular aurora dancing across the night sky. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the driver drove very safely throughout the tour. We felt relaxed and safe from beginning to end. It was a very memorable experience.

Great guide, good hike
During the booking, I was never asked at what hotel I would be. I was later called and told them my hotel, but my E ticket had a separate meeting place. Because I had gone to the separate meeting place and someone had to come pick me up there and take me to the rest of the tour group, it caused us all to have less time on the hike. The guide, Zee, was great! She could tell about the use of plants by the natives and other interesting things.

Beautiful hike. Cameron Falls was amazing - awesome to sit beside the falls and have lunch. Hiked across the bridge to the other side. Verda was our guide and was very knowledgeable and kept the walk at a pace that suited all types of hikers.

Ultimate Ice Fishing with Lunch in Yellowknife

Highly Recommend this Experience!
Great experience, our guides were amazing! We were a group of "older women" ages 55-76 with most of us having little experience. The guides were kind, so helpful and just fun to be with. Many of us caught fish! The fishing cabins are warm and clean with hot beverages available and they were able to accommodate 19 of us easliy. The lunch tasted great especially after being out on the ice. Pick up and drop off was smooth and the company was easy to communicate with. Would HIGHLY recommend!
