Welcome to Nature's Greatest Light Show

On winter nights in the Northwest Territories, the Aurora Borealis is often so vivid it seems close enough to touch. Far from city lights, stand on a frozen lake and watch the night sky light up. When the aurora is overhead, as it is in the Northwest Territories, you can almost feel the lights wrap ghostly fingers around you. Aurora BorealisChoose the steamy heat of an outdoor hot tub at a wilderness lodge to see the aurora. It's a wonderful winter vacation option. For a truly magical experience, try a dogsled adventure under the northern lights. Or you could select a heated and enclosed deck chair on 360º viewing deck, with activities to amuse you till the aurora appears. Whether you prefer rugged or pampered, we offer unique and spectacular aurora experiences just for you.
