From the aurora borealis to the golden gleam of the historic Klondike, the wonders of the Northwest Territories and Yukon beckon on this northern adventure. Begin with a tour of Yellowknife before an evening northern lights excursion where bands of brilliant green and red light could dance across the night sky. Etch your own piece of recycled glassware at an artisan workshop on the shores of Great Slave Lake, then take a harbour cruise. Head to Whitehorse and sink into steamy natural mineral hot springs. Travel the Klondike Highway to historic Dawson City. From Canada’s oldest gambling hall, the aptly named Diamond Tooth Gerties, to the stunning Midnight Dome Lookout to dinner aboard the iconic Klondike Spirit paddlewheeler, your prospects look spectacular.
