We did not see the Northern Lights on this outing due to overcast sky. Based on the experience of the operator and the tour guide, I suspect they/he had a good idea on not seeing the Northern Lights, so the trip ended-up being a cash-grab. At the pickup point, we should have been warned and given an option to skip and a refund.

Our location is very unique and our family are our dogs. We do have over 100 friendly and lovable dogs on site. "We are a place for people who love dogs" We are located outside the city light pollution so northern lights are visible directly overhead of our lodge, no need to drive anywhere. In addition to that we are located right at the shores of a river and for as long as the river is no frozen (until late October) there is a chance to get mirror pictures of the Northern Lights.

Inclusions: Side by Side for the excercize with the dogs, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Coffee and/or Tea, Use of bicycle

Exclusions: Alcoholic Beverages

Join us for a tour to the fantastic Yukon Wildlife Preserve, a large wildlife preserve close to nature. It hosts all the Far North’s animals except for bears, which must not be kept in preserves by law. We will spot bison, elk, Dall sheep, mountain goats, polar foxes, caribous, lynxes and many more. 
You can either explore the preserve by foot or opt for a guided bus tour. After hopefully having seen, watched and photographed all the preserve’s animals, we will visit Takhini Hot Springs, where we can relax in the hot springs’ mineral water for an hour.
Please don’t forget to bring your trunks or swimming suit and a towel.

We take you out and “hunt” for the Aurora! Instead of sitting in a cabin or a yurt, watching the overcast sky, we chase the Aurora and try to get away from light pollution and clouds. Aurora Hunting / Chasing increases tremendously the chance to see and experience the Northern Lights since we are driving to various locations.

We did the tour to the wildlife preserve and hot springs. The guide was fantastic. We got so much information about the preserve and every animal living there. The hot springs are a great escape and an incredible relaxation. Highly recommended.
