【Cameron Falls Hike (Autumn Only)】
Follow a scenic trail through pristine forest, accompanied by the gentle sound of flowing water as you approach the breathtaking Cameron Falls. Cascading down rocky cliffs, the waterfall creates a misty spray that blends beautifully with the surrounding greenery—like a vivid painting of the northern wilderness.

The experience lasts around 4 hours. Board a boat and cruise across Great Slave Lake — one of the deepest lakes in North America. With its crystal-clear blue waters and endless horizon, the scenery feels like stepping into a painting. As we glide across the tranquil surface, you'll take in the breathtaking blend of sky and water, and experience the unique charm of Canada's Northwest. Midway through the journey, we'll stop at an island to enjoy a delicious lunch.

Special Notes

The minimum pax to operate the tour: 2.
Aurora hunting by bus means the whole night sitting in a crowded space, a very special experience. Winter is always -30/-40, extremely cold. You will travel to different lakes and try different backgrounds.
Aurora viewing in camp means waiting in camp the whole night, comfortable, but only one location.
Our tour combines these two different styles of Aurora viewing. We bring our guests to several different locations to increase the possibility of seeing Aurora. After that, we bring our guest to a private cabin to rest and wait for Aurora.
It is nice to have a warm, private place to view Aurora since it is quite annoying when there are too many people in the same place taking pictures.
Before the tour, our experienced driver and accredited tour guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel or at the front door of where you are staying. Our tour guide will provide general information to you, including: weather conditions, specifically chosen locations for that night and precautions for guests. Out bus departs for Aurora hunting when all our guests of honour are ready.
We will inspect the night sky for Aurora, so that you do not have to stand outside and freeze while waiting for it.
We will take pictures for you, no matter how many you want, it is all free!
We will drop you off at your hotel or where you are staying and wish you a good night!
We will drop you off at your hotel or where you After the tour, we will send a link to you, so you can download your pictures in the original pixel! During the tour in Aurora Teepee Lodge, we provide cookies/ hot chocolate/ different tea bags/hot dogs.
We have various stories from our tour guides, about the Aurora and the City of Yellowknife.

Big thanks to the photographer on the tour! I was worried about not getting good shots in the cold, but they took amazing photos of us under the aurora and sent them the next day. Totally worth it and a fantastic souvenir.

The winter gear rental (Canada Goose jackets, etc.) was a lifesaver. It gets unbelievably cold at night. Being properly equipped meant I could focus on the stunning lights instead of shivering. A must-do for anyone not used to -30°C weather.

Just got back from this 4-day trip and it was exactly what I hoped for. The combo of chasing the lights by bus one night and then watching from a warm cabin tent the next was perfect. Best of both worlds—saw the lights dancing both nights! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the best spots.

Loved the flexibility of the two free days. I chose the dog sledding optional activity and it was a blast. My friend went ice fishing instead. It’s nice that you can customize your daytime adventure based on your interests or just explore the cute Old Town on your own.

The city tour on the first day was a great intro. Seeing the Bush Pilots Monument and learning about Yellowknife's history from our Indigenous guide added so much context. It made the whole experience feel more meaningful than just a sightseeing trip.
