Boreal Escapes specializes in small-group northern lights hunting tours from Whitehorse, Yukon, for travellers who want a real chase. Our nightly hunts welcome up to five guests, in English or French. We track space weather, aurora and cloud forecasts all day, then drive toward the clearest skies in the region. Each hunt includes a heated vehicle, warm-up breaks, help with your camera settings, and professional aurora portraits delivered within 48 hours.

Every evening is guided by the sky as it is that night. We confirm departure only when there is a genuine chance, and we adapt our route as conditions change, going as far as it takes to find clear skies. We pick you up and drop you off in Whitehorse, brief you on cold-weather safety, and guide you with Wilderness First Aid and CPR certification and full winter emergency gear on board.

Boreal Escapes is led by an experienced aurora guide, Jonathan, who spent winters hunting the northern lights across Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden & Norway). Part guide, part photographer, he reads the sky to know when to stay and when to move. We are the perfect choice for couples, solo travellers and photographers looking for an intimate, bilingual northern lights night.
