Overview
The Yukon is one of the best places to see the awe-inspiring Northern Lights and the Aurora Borealis start at the end of August, so you can have a summer holiday and still enjoy the Northern Lights. September is a great time to enjoy the Yukon due to the good weather and autumn colours and this holiday runs from the beginning of September to the end of October, and then through the winter months from January to the end of March.
This itinerary is great to add-on to a longer holiday in western Canada and can be tailor-made to suit you. Talk to one of our experts about how to make this holiday the perfect one for you.

Jan Vening - Travelled to British Columbia"Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime!"
Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime!!! Two years ago we used this company for a holiday to BC and it was fantastic. This year we went to Alaska and the Yukon and Heidi organised the most wonderful trip, that went as smoothly as is possible. From the Arctic Circle to Kodiak Island everything was PERFECT (so rare in this day and age!!!) As for wildlife...wow! She arranged for us to travel by several different means of transport and to stay in a wide range of accommodation all of which gave us an idea of life in this vast area of North America. We are left with wonderful memories and thousands of beautiful photos.
