ABOUT THIS REGION  AURORA BOREALIS VIEWING

VIEW MORE INFO ON THE LODGE

Aurora borealis viewing on Blachford Lake

The most spectacular phenomenon on earth, the aurora borealis, will embrace you in all its majesty during this late fall or winter tour on this aurora borealis package on Blachford Lake. Nothing can rival the experience of watching the aurora borealis. Awash in vibrant colors, these northern lights dance across the sky to speak to the moon in mystical voices. Travel to the last frontier of Western Canada, Northwest Territories, where your adventure will begin with a short ski-plane flight from Yellowknife to a secluded wilderness lodge. Let your senses come alive. You'll revel in natural surroundings and inhale the cleansing fragrance of spruce. You will feast your eyes on the northern vista in all its glory and drink in its beauty.

Aurora borealis viewing on Blachford Lake

One may ask why not just stay in Yellowknife and view aurora? To experience northern lights to the fullest potential you have to get away from city lights and the "light glow" of any populated area. This lodge is fly in only -- there are no other camps or cabins within many miles -- you are in the true wilderness with no light obstructions to hinder your view of the aurora. The main lodge was designed with aurora viewing in mind. All bedrooms offer prime viewing as do the dining, lounge areas, aurora room, decks, sauna deck and hot tub. Come experience the northern lights playing directly over the Lodge in awesome multicoloured displays. You’ll have an exclusive, front row seat for nature’s own light show after dark.
