Aurora Outpost – Where Northern Lights Meet Northern Comfort

A More Thoughtful Aurora Experience
We believe Northern Lights viewing should be as enjoyable as it is memorable. That's why we carefully monitor weather conditions and aim to offer our Aurora experiences when the skies provide a promising opportunity for viewing.
We don't sell you a night of Aurora Viewing unless we estimate a 50% chance of seeing the lights. No prepaid aurora. No wasted evenings. No paying for clouds.

Know before you go
Aurora Outpost: northern lights, northern comfort
Just 30 minutes from downtown Whitehorse, our Aurora Outpost is a wilderness retreat built for one thing: an unforgettable night under dazzling aurora sky. Wait for the lights beside the stone-hearth fireplace, warm up with a hot drink, then step onto the north-facing viewing deck. Minimal light pollution and wide-open sky give the aurora room to dance and you enough space to soak it all in.
Why we don't sell you the aurora viewing experience in advance
Many aurora tours charge up front, then head out rain, fog, or shine. The northern lights are one of the most spectacular things you'll ever see, but only when they're visible, and cloud cover can hide them completely.
We don't sell you a night we can't promise. Your package covers everything we can deliver: your hotel, your adventures, your shuttles, and some daytime fun. The aurora is a separate, optional add-on you only pay for once we've checked the sky and it looks promising. While no-visibility nights are rare, we want to ensure you get what you're paying for! We check the skies every night at 6pm to determine aurora viewing conditions.
No prepaid aurora.
Northern lights can never be guaranteed, but you'll never pay for a night we didn't think was worth the trip.
No wasted evenings. No paying for clouds.

Thomas showed us how to use the snowmobiles and off we went on a breathtaking trail through snow-covered forests, climbing to take in a view of the surrounding area. The views throughout were simply awe-inspiring!

Like many places in Yukon, 20 minutes in and it feels like you are deep in the wilderness. Our family loved the trip and were amazed by the views!

We had a great day zipping around the Yukon on snowmobiles! It was the perfect addition to our Aurora viewing the night before.
