10 Awe-Inspiring Northern Lights CANADA Tours You Can Book Now

Planning an aurora-hunting trip to Canada in 2024-2025? Make your trip a success with one of these inspiring Northern Lights Canada tours, plus tips for what months, locations and tour features you should focus on to maximize your changes of seeing the lights.

Canada offers some of the most awe-inspiring northern light vacation tours available in the world. Thanks to its large landmass, situated well within the auroral oval, there are countless vantage points from which to view the elusive lights. Some of the best destinations within Canada include Yellowknife, Churchill, as well as Whitehorse.

In this article, we’ll help you select a northern lights tour in Canada for your needs and budget, with our tour recommendations and tips for what to look for in a well-organized aurora tour.

Considerations for Booking a Northern Lights Tour in Canada

Before you begin your Northern Lights tour in Canada, there are several factors that you must take into consideration when booking a tour package. It is important to remember that the wilderness in Canada is very expansive, and while there are countless destinations within the country to visit, only a few offer the best vantage points imaginable.

Book Early for Northern Lights Canada Tours

Always remember that when you are planning your Canada Northern Lights tour, you need to book well in advance. Most of these tours run during the peak viewing season, which spans from the end of August until the beginning of April. Although it is possible to view the aurora borealis later in the year, due to longer summer days, it can be much more difficult.

You also need to pay close attention to the destination, because locations like Whitehorse, Yellowknife, and Churchill often see the largest influx of tourists during the peak season. If you are planning to visit some of the top destinations within the country, then make sure that you book in advance to ensure that you have available accommodations and excursions.

Choose the Right Timing

Best months & season for northern lights.

The best time to view the northern lights is during the winter months, at the peak of the solar cycle. Since light pollution plays an important role in determining how well you can view the elusive lights, choosing to visit Canada during the winter months increases your odds of capturing a glimpse of the ghostly lights as they dance through the night sky.

During the peak winter months, there are only a few hours of sunlight, to obstruct the viewing experience, which is why they are the most popular months of the year to visit Canada.

While the Aurora tour season runs from Late August to Early April, for the best chances of seeing the northern lights in Canada, aim for Late September to Early March .

Best Years for Northern Lights (Solar Cycle Timing)

At the same time, choosing to hunt for the elusive lights when the sun cycle is at its peak, also increases your chances of capturing a glimpse of the auroras. The sun follows a natural 11-year cycle, and during the highest point of solar activity, the amount of solar radiation being ejected by the sun towards the earth is increased exponentially. The lights are a creation of the charged particles from the sun, passing over the earth’s magnetosphere. We have recently entered a solar cycle peak, so for 2024-2025, it’s accurate to say there is no better time than now for a northern lights Canada tour.

Check out our articles on choosing the best time to see Northern Lights in Canada and the best years for seeing Northern Lights for more timing tips.

Best Locations for Northern Lights Canada Tours

As always, the most important factor when it comes to viewing the northern lights in Canada is location, location, location. You want to make sure that you choose a destination that is well within the auroral oval. The closer you can get to the magnetic North Pole, the greater the chances of capturing a glimpse of the auroras. Making sure to select a destination that gives you an unobstructed view of the northern horizon, also improves your chances of viewing them.

Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Many aurora hunters have dubbed Yellowknife as the Aurora Capital of America. Due to its location well within the auroral oval, and consistently clear skies, the chances of capturing a glimpse of the northern lights in Yellowknife is greatly improved. This is why countless tour operators offer annual getaways to locations in and around Yellowknife.

Churchill, Manitoba

You will find the city of Churchill located along the shores of Hudson Bay. Due to the wide-open expanses of the Bay, you are provided with a clear vantage point to the north. Not only will you be able to hunt for the northern lights in Churchill, but you may also encounter polar bears, beluga whales, and many other Arctic wildlife.

Whitehorse, Yukon

Another popular destination is located within the rugged Yukon wilderness. Whitehorse is known as the gateway to the Yukon, and offers aurora hunters the perfect staging point for an amazing experience. From Whitehorse, you will be able to head out into the Canadian wilderness by dogsled, or even go on a fishing expedition. There is so much to see and do when you visit Whitehorse in the Yukon.

Embrace the Unpredictability of Nature

Remember, the ability to view the northern lights is a purely subject to the unpredictability of nature. It is common for last-minute weather conditions to change, affecting your ability to view of the elusive lights. As a result, it is important to be as flexible as possible, and be prepared to make changes to your itinerary as the local weather forecast and aurora alerts change throughout the day. Set aside multiple nights specifically for aurora hunting, in order to maximize your chances of viewing the natural phenomenon.

This brings our article on northern lights Canada tours to a close. While a tour is not necessary for spotting the lights, there are many benefits to booking into a tour rather than going it alone. These reasons include a professionally organized tour route and timing with expert aurora borealis guides, who will do whatever they can to help you see the lights, as well as the obvious conveniences of having all your accommodation and meals laid out for you. For this service, they do come with a price tag.

If you’re looking for cheaper ways to see the aurora borealis, and you have a bit of a wild streak, an adventurous alternative is going on a northern lights camping adventure which we discuss in detail in that article, including specific camp spots to check out throughout North America. Another cheaper alternative is to book into a hotel in Canada renowned for its aurora borealis services plus a short one-night tour (or two) to take you out into the wilderness for some aurora-spotting.

Welcome to Churchill, Canada

Known as the polar bear capital of the world, Churchill is also known as a beluga whale watching hotspot and one of the best places to see the northern lights.

This remote Canadian town on the shores of Hudson Bay is 1,000 km north of Winnipeg, Manitoba's capital city. There are no roads that lead to Churchill, you can only get here by train or plane. In addition to seeing polar bears, beluga whales and northern lights, Churchill has an impressive history and culture. Tour a fur trade fort, go on a dogsled adventure and admire the works of local artists and artisans.

The Churchill Experience

The town of Churchill (population 1,000) is a northern Manitoba community accessible only by air and rail. A true bucket-list vacation destination, this rugged outpost on the edge of the Hudson Bay offers experiences you won't find anywhere else in the world.

Polar bears and beluga whales are just two of the main attractions that bring hundreds of international visitors to Churchill every year. The town is also famous for its nightlife, as one of the world's premiere viewing destinations for the aurora borealis (northern lights) that dance in the sky some 300 nights each year.

From the shipwreck of the Ithaca, to the enormous Sea Walls murals, to helicopter tours over the remote northern wilderness, there's no end to the surprises you'll find on the edge of the Arctic.

Walk with polar bears view the northern lights.

If you’ve ever dreamt of flying over the spectacular Arctic tundra to a remote ecolodge, walking the wild Hudson Bay coastline in small groups to view polar bears, returning to your lodge to unwind by a fireplace before dining on delicious fare, then stepping outside to see some of the best northern lights… Churchill Wild is your all-inclusive dream come true.

Here, among the wilds of northern Manitoba you’ll find polar bears, diversity of wildlife, the brilliance of the northern lights, stunning vistas and fabulous food. The polar bear tours and safaris in our portfolio are designed to delight your senses and take you on a profound and unforgettable journey into the Arctic wilderness…

With polar bears.

Best Time to see Northern Lights

While the winter months are thought of as the traditional time to view the northern lights, they can also be spectacular on a clear summer or fall night. Plus, it’s a lot more fun working with cameras in the warmer months at 10° C instead of -40° C!

Your best chances of seeing the northern lights on one of our safaris will occur from September to November. Check out: Arctic Safari, Hudson Bay Odyssey, Great Ice Bear Adventure, Polar Bear Photo Safari at Nanuk, Polar Bear Photo Safari at Seal, or Fall Dual Lodge Safari.

Whichever safari you decide on, you can be rest assured that our staff will monitor the skies at night and wake you up when the lights make an appearance, so you won’t miss out on the spectacle of a lifetime.

We operate three luxury wilderness ecolodges located deep in the heart of polar bear country on the Hudson Bay coast in northern Manitoba, Canada. Directly in the path of the polar bears as they walk up and down the coastline during the summer and fall, our properties are ideal for viewing polar bears and other iconic Canadian wildlife.

• Tundra-inspired Cuisine

Your dining experience will include organic, locally sourced meats and fish along with fruits and vegetables from our Prairie Wild orchard and gardens. Menus are built around these building blocks, which have been the backbone of our dining experience since we opened our first lodge more than 30 years ago.
