Northwest Territories tour packages are built around the aurora, with Yellowknife known as the northern lights capital of North America, where clear skies and a location under the auroral oval give excellent chances from late August to April. The territory also holds Great Slave Lake, one of the deepest lakes in the world, and the remote Nahanni National Park Reserve with its soaring waterfalls. Winter is intensely cold, so heated viewing lodges and warm clothing are provided on tours. Allow four nights to improve aurora chances.

Late August to mid-April offers dark skies, with winter nights the most reliable. Summer has almost continuous daylight.
Four nights in Yellowknife give a good chance of seeing the aurora. Nahanni requires a longer, specialised trip.
Fly to Calgary, Edmonton or Vancouver and take a connecting flight of 2 hours to Yellowknife. Total travel is generally about 24 hours.
