There is nothing more enchanting, more completely mind-blowing than sitting under the ethereal beauty of the Aurora Borealis. As it breathes exquisite translucent greens and pinks across the inky-black sky, you are completely enchanted, like there is nothing else in the world. To experience this astral phenomenon at the peak of its glory, head to the world’s finest Aurora viewing spot.
Yellowknife in Northern Canada still retains the air of being a real frontier town. With its multicultural and friendly population, comprising of many different First Nation tribes, a rustic beauty still persists in Yellowknife. Picturesque, colourful houseboats adorn the waters of Great Slave Lake and aside from the occasional drone of a bush plane, you will bathe in the silence of the wilderness. However, there is a vibrant nightlife and surprising art scene in this northern outpost, with mining money bringing bigger names to perform here than you would expect.
Staying in Yellowknife is a joy, but the real crux of your trip is the time you will spend out at Aurora Village. Situated in one of the world’s truly wild places, Aurora Village has zero light pollution, giving the perfect black canvas for the Aurora Borealis to create its magic. Congregate in heated teepees, kitted out in your supplies, sub-zero outfits and prepare yourselves for three nights of sheer wonder under the most beautiful skies on earth.
