Tour operator: Natural Habitat Adventures
Enjoy a journey of discovery to northern Canada, experience the region, and learn the secrets to successfully photographing the phenomenal Aurora Borealis.
In the same land that hosts the brilliant summer sightings of beluga whales and the polar bears of autumn, comes an amazing phenomenon that illuminates the dark winter skies. Watch in wonder as streaks of color dance like flames across the midnight arctic skies. The ethereal Aurora Borealis — meaning the north wind of the dawn (also known as the Northern Lights), brighten the night in a mystical display of color. Get your front-row seat in Churchill — one of the best locations in the world to see the Northern Lights. On this grand subarctic adventure, days are filled with distinctly northern culture, wildlife experiences, and a dog-sled ride. In the evenings, nature’s kaleidoscope flashes before your eyes.
See the Northern Lights in the most aurora-active place on earth, journey from the southern prairie to the far-north tundra on the Hudson Bay Railway, and discover the culture and traditions of northern native peoples on your array of winter adventures.
