NORTHERN LIGHTS

Our location beneath the auroral oval in the pristine heart of northern Canada, far from light pollution, means we’re ideally located for those who love to watch the lights dance across the sky. With approximately 300 nights a year of aurora activity, it’s possible, given the right conditions, to see the northern lights while on any of our polar bear tours or polar bear safaris. Enjoy the mesmerizing aurora borealis as a stunning backdrop to your wildlife adventure.
