Is it 100% sure that I will be able to see Northern Lights?

It is very common, but it is not 100% sure. We must remember that this is a natural phenomenon, and nature will always have an unknown part. The probability of seeing Nothern Lights is always latent, that is why in this adventure we will look for them during the three nights.

The hotel and most places have heating, there is also the possibility of renting winter clothes for every day of the experience.

How do I get to Yellowknife?

Yellowknife has an airport, generally flights from Mexico make a stopover in Vancouver or Calgary. Any of these options is excellent.

If you are Mexican, since December 2016 you do not need a visa to enter Canada as a tourist. However, you must process an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). If you have already processed visa and it is still valid, you can use it until it expires. It is very easy to process your eTA, to do so we recommend you read the following article of our blog. It will help you do it in a safe and reliable way.

What happens if I travel alone? Is it possible?

Which is the minimum age? Does the price change for minors?

The minimum age for this experience is 1 year old, minors must be accompanied and share a room with two responsible adults (18 years and older). See the "extras" section for the price per child. Children 12 years old and older have regular rate. If only 1 adult is traveling alone, it is mandatory to add the private room extra + the child extra. If 2 or more adults are traveling, it is not necessary to add the private room extra, only the child extra.

If I arrive a day earlier or I leave a day later, where can I stay?

We suggest adding nights to the included accommodation. Ask a sales agent to get this information for you.
