Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

After continuing the day’s trek, enjoy free time during a stop in the quaint town of Canmore. This afternoon, arrive at the famous Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a stunning retreat nestled beside the frozen lake and surrounded by towering mountains — the scenery is nothing short of magical, and perhaps the elusive auroras will even make an appearance after dark.

6Calgary - Whitehorse, the Yukon
Today, take a flight to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon — a land of vast wilderness, rich Indigenous heritage, and gold rush legends. Though it’s Canada’s smallest territory by population, the Yukon’s spirit is anything but small. Larger than many countries, it’s a place where nature reigns and stories run deep. Whitehorse sits directly beneath the aurora oval, making it one of the best places on Earth to witness the northern lights, and tonight, you’ll have your first chance to see them dance across the sky. Bundle up, step outside, and look up. The magic of the Yukon night sky awaits.

7Whitehorse
Today, discover the heart and soul of Whitehorse, a small city with a big personality. Join a local guide for a tour that brings the town’s frontier spirit to life. See the SS Klondike, a grand paddle-wheeler that once ruled the Yukon River, and see the Old Log Church, the city’s oldest building. Along the way, hear stories of “sourdoughs” — those hardy souls who’ve braved a Yukon winter and wear it like a badge of honor. This afternoon, get closer to the wild at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, where you’ll have the chance to spot native species like muskox, elk, and Dall sheep in their natural habitat. Then, unwind in the steamy, mineral-rich waters of the Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs, surrounded by snow-covered forest. It’s a moment of pure Yukon serenity. As night falls, head out once again in search of the aurora borealis. With luck, the sky will come alive in waves of green — an unforgettable spectacle in this land of endless wonder.

After a late night seeking the aurora, enjoy a leisurely morning to rest or explore Whitehorse at your own pace, perhaps sipping coffee in a cozy café or strolling along the Yukon River. This afternoon, embrace the spirit of the North with a thrilling dogsledding adventure. Led by an expert musher, glide through the snow-covered backcountry behind a team of eager huskies. It’s an exhilarating, unforgettable way to experience the Yukon wilderness — just as early explorers once did. Tonight, gather at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre, a riverside space that honors the traditions and stories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation. Share a meaningful meal and connect with the culture of the land through food, art, and storytelling. Later, return to the aurora viewing site for one last chance to witness the northern lights.
