        Close, But No Cigar
        While we unfortunately didn't see the Aurora, the Arctic Day people did everything they could to give us a good experience: very friendly guides and hosts, warm rooms to wait in, and good advice on where and what to look for. We knew seeing the lights would be a crapshoot, and while it didn't work for us, Arctic Day did all they could to give us a good time.

        Pleasant afternoon
        The driver and guide were both great but the tour itself was a little underwhelming. I think the description needs to better describe the tour itself. It was a pleasant afternoon but I wouldnt put this on a must do in Whitehorse

        Great experience.
        This was awesome. We saw the lights. The TeePees were great. They also had warm up tents to get in out of the cold. It was very cold the time we went so warming up was needed. Hot chocolate was given and a talk about Grizzy vs brown bears that was very interesting.

        Great tour for aurora viewing
        A great setup with great guides. We were not fortunate to have the aurora show up despite clear skies, but that’s not the tour’s fault nor is it in their control. You roll the dice with Northern Lights. But this is a great setup to see them for when they do appear. I recommend this tour operator highly.

        Great guides but expensive photos
        I liked the Aurora tour but did not like the fact that they charge $20 for each photo they take. So I lowered my rating. There are other companies (Northern Tales, for instance) that give you photos for free. On a positive side - our guides were great - Rina, Jelmer, Shojiro and Marco. They were friendly, knowledgeable, patient, accommodating and fun!

        Animal and hot springs tour is awesome!
        Guides Liz and Sam were super awesome. Even though there was snow on the ground and roads, Sam was an excellent driver. We saw several animals in the preserve but sadly not the moose, he was hiding. Their commentary was most enlightening and enjoyable. Then the hot springs warmed us up. I would recommend this to anyone going to that area.

        Was fun
        It was fun even tho we didn’t see the lights . But fire and good service made it better as of experience . I think to get photos in digital form for 20$ is little over priced , but I guess that’s business . Only problem was temperature of the bus they pick you up in , it was almost as cold as outside , make sure that after 3h outside you keep those people warm and cozy .

        Perfect guided tour in a breathtaking location!
        Had a great time on our tour. Miles Canyon is breathtaking and not to be missed. Nice length ( a bit over 3 hours). Very personable and knowledgeable guides. One note - while advertised as easy and flat, there were some elavation changes and one scramble up some rocks. We're in our 60s and in decent shape and got through it ok, but by thr end I was regretting not taking the offered walking sticks, although I just grabbed a l9ose branch for maybe the last mile. Lots of opportunities for spectacular pictures!

        Out of This World
        From the first second, I knew Arctic Range was going to help me customize my journey, a bucket list trip to see and photograph the Northern Lights from their remote site about an hour from Whitehorse. While other companies were quick to ask exactly when I would be going, what package I chose and... "credit card please, number", the staff at Arctic Range started asking me more individual questions: What do you hope to see, how much time did I have, were their any physical limitations, what kind of travel do you REALLY enjoy." From my first contact until the last day when we said goodbye in their downtown office, I knew their goal was me having the time of my life. At the site one night, I was having trouble with focus and technical issues. A staff member who photographs bears in Canada took the time to explain to me things about my camera I didn't even know, and it's my CAMERA! I booked for 4 nights viewing, knowing cloudy skies stop all, and got two out of 4. It was worth it. When I booked a full day hike to Kluane NP, the guide customized the tour to only the Two of us, giving a maximum nature experience. Thanks to Eli, Jess, Akino, Reena, Horatio, Mariko, Chisato and Kei, all of who are bi-lingual.

        Nice to be able to enjoy the Northern Lights in company
        Really pleasant company of the tour guides during this tour, quite knowledgeable and interesting to talk with. The lights showed up during the one night I booked, soooo lucky.

        Poor experience
        The weather forecast in the morning was for rain that evening. They took us out there,gave us some powdered hot chocolate to mix ourselves and some store bought cookies. Both the driver and lady at the site had English as their second language. They did take us to the tent and started a fire..after approximately 2 hours they told us it was going to rain all night so we’re taking us back to Whitehorse..no money returned and no promise to view the lights the next night. This was a total cash grab and a waste of our time and money

        The Quintessential Yukon Experience
        We were in town for a few days taking in the Yukon Rendezvous Festival. While checking out the pubs and dodging the Keystone Kops is always fun, no visit to Whitehorse is complete without an aurora viewing tour. Not wanting to miss out during our limited time, we booked two nights with Arctic Range Adventures. At $149 per person, the rate is more than reasonable and the team @ Arctic Range makes sure guests get their money’s worth! The overall experience is quite fun: You are picked up at the Sternwheeler Hotel at approximately 11:20PM (a piece of cake for us since we were staying there) and driven 45 minutes outside Whitehorse, via a comfortable shuttle bus, to the Aurora Centre (used exclusively by Arctic Range Adventures). The Centre is nicely laid out: There are two heated outhouses (so you don’t have to freeze!); a comfortable yurt with seating, stove, light snacks and drinks; two teepees where you can sit, dialogue with the group and roast marshmallows; and an expansive aurora viewing area complete with tripods bolted into place for your use and enjoyment. You spend about 3 hours at the site before being bussed back to your accommodation, arriving back to Whitehorse at around 4AM. On both nights our primary guide was Pascal. He was informative and gave everybody the “lay of the land” each time. On night one, we spent most of our time in the teepee because it was mostly cloudy skies. I thought we were going to strike out but, just as everyone was getting ready to board the shuttle back to Whitehorse, the aurora made a brief – and very faint – appearance! While the green hues were subtle, we were thankful to see them! On night two, we had far better luck. Upon arrival to the Aurora Centre just after 12AM, the aurora made an appearance and stuck around for nearly an hour! It was bright and a majestic sight as it wove through the night sky! One could almost hear the ghost of Robert Service reciting his poem, “Ballad of the Northern Lights:” They rolled around with a soundless sound Like softly bruised silk; They poured into the bowl of the sky With the gentle flow of milk. Indeed, if you want a quality aurora tour, I can’t recommend Arctic Range Adventures enough. The team is professional; the Aurora Centre is comfortable; the site for viewing the Northern Lights is large enough so as to avoid the feeling of being crowded; and, if you don’t have sufficient winter gear, they have some for rent! In short, Arctic Range offers the complete package at a reasonable cost! Highly recommended!

        A bit of everything
        Loved it. You get all activities in one package. Hot spa is a must. 4 stars: some guides were Japanese, with questionable English, although they were trying. City sightseeing - not needed, as you can do it yourself. Lots of spare time, with nothing to do. You can safely return on the fourth day.

        Amazing experience well coordinated and great service to enjoy the aurora’s dazzling show
        We book the tour for 2 different days, expanding our chances to view the auroras In both occasions the service was really good, all the staff well prepared to assure we had a comfortable stay and dedicate the time to wonder at the sky, whenever the auroras could happen. They are very professional and offer a quality service, with coffee and cookies, and marshmallows to burn at the fire in the tipi tent. They also offer the rental of clothes and boots if required, at an extra charge. The service was efficient and everything at time as scheduled. We had a magnificent aurora show, awesome, all the late stay and the cold outside was definitely worth it. I recommend the company and will consider another of the tours they offer for another visit ocassion.

      I wolud like to congratulate two members of your staff
      we visted The Aurora center 4 times and we could see the Auroras Borealis only the 4th day.

      Did a package tour, city tour, wildlife & hotsprings, and 2 days of Aurora Viewing. We got to see the lights the very first night, it was amazing! Didn't see them the second night, but we had a good time. Staff was friendly and prepared. They took a lot of photos and helped us set up our phones to capture pics for ourselves too.

      I rented clothes that did not fit, and they changed them just in time for the aurora viewing, but they didn't fit either. Had to attend the tour with the clothing unzipped, they changed the clothes next day, but brought same size so it didn't fit again. That night they changed the clothes one more time and they finally fit before my second night of aurora viewing...Strongly recommend renting at least one size bigger clothes than you usually wear since you'll be wearing your clothes underneath.

      Photos staff takes with their camera are around 20 CAD each, great pics, but take photos with your camera too.

      I strongly recommend any of the tours this company offers, I enjoyed everything I did, staff recommended places to eat and activities to do if you have free time.
      Had a great time in WhiteHorse, higly recommend at least once in your life, you won't regret.

      We did the three-night, four-day tour with Arctic Range and loved every minute of it. While we were only able to see the Northern Lights for one night (it was too cloudy the other two nights), it still made for a wholly remarkable, memorable trip. The "office team" at Arctic Range was very helpful in rearranging our schedule when we decided to throw in two additional activities (dog sledding and snowmobiling -- both very much worth it), and the "field team" that actually conducted the tours were among some of the friendliest, most professional and accommodating young folks you'll ever meet. (Whitehorse draws people from all around the world, and the Arctic Range staff represents that diversity, which we really came to appreciate.) Very glad we did the clothing rental (we did the "Arctic Winter" package); we were able to wear a couple of light and mid-weight layers under their pants and parkas and stayed plenty warm. Wouldn't hesitate to re-book the same tour again.

      Very poor, we had a 3 night tour, they cancelled a trip to the hot springs and never notified us, so we waited and wasted the day, they took us to see the northern lights when it was snowing with no visibility to. They didn’t cancel that . This is a company that has a great deal of international non English speaking clients. For example we were on a bus w all Japanese speaking tourists, the guide Julie spoke to them and not the few of us English speakers. There are other good companies in the area, chose them.

      This tour was a once in a lifetime, incredible trip. We saw the lights 2/3 nights and they were so beautiful. Transportation is great and the Aurora Centre is amazing. There is a yurt and teepee’s at the centre with fireplaces to keep you warm and warm drinks and biscuits. The staff are so lovely and knowledgeable. We also loved the extra add on of attending a wildlife tour and the hot springs, we saw all the animals of our dreams. The whole experience was seamless and made so easy with pick up and drop off. I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough!

      We were lucky enough to see the northern light for all 3 nights. Though it was quite cloudy, we managed to see the Milky Way as well. The guides were very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Had a very detailed presentation about the aurora. I was told the best season to see the aurora is Sep/Feb.

      It was a wonderful experience - tours are run very well, staff are all friendly, and communication beforehand was always quick. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see the Northern Lights.

      My only criticism is the hotel they book you into. The Westmark Hotel was the worst hotel I stayed in in Canada and would not recommend ANYONE stay there - I understand that Arctic Range must have a deal with the hotel, but honestly, it's not worth it. We had no hot water on 3 occasions (we complained but were dismissed by front desk), housekeeping rarely came, and bathroom was hardly clean.

      Thank you very much for your kind review about our tours and our team. We are happy to hear you are recommending our Northern Lights viewing tour. We do apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your hotel stay. It appears the hotel had a temporary issue with one of their boiler during your stay and that caused the shortage of hot water. Of course we will address your concerns with the hotel management and hope to resolve the mentioned issues for the future.

      My wife and I went on this tour with my sister and grand daughter. This company provides transportation to/from airport at arrivals and departures. This tour provides 3 opportunities to see the Northern lights and we seen the northern lights on our first outing to the Aurora center. The tour package kept us busy our entire time with spare time to rest prior to going out to the Aurora center. All 3 tour guides we had were very friendly, informative and helpful (Kei, Chica & Moto), We went on the City tour, Yukon Brewery, Whitehorse Wildlife Preserve & Hot Springs, Each tour provides plenty of photo opportunities. Arctic Range Adventure also have winter gear you can rent which was perfect for this type of weather. The Aurora center has several buildings called Yurt's and 2 Tipi's to keep warm when needed. The yurt's have hot water for tea and coffee and also contain clean rest rooms. I highly recommend this Tour company to others wishing to visit Whitehorse Yukon to see the Northern Lights.
