“Tour was good. Temperature was a balmy -31c (feels like -40c). So it was hard to stay outside the bus for more than a few minutes at a time. Lights weren't strong this evening so only saw color through our phone camera. Guide tried really hard to find good spots. Guide also had a great attitude and was very dedicated to everyone having a good experience.”

“Sept 28, 2024 we’ve been out for 4+hrs and we’re already loosing hope of seeing Aurora but our tourguide Emit/Emet(not sure with the spelling 😅) he didn’t gave up and so are we.. we drove to 4-5 spots and finally Aurora showed up around 2:30am we were at Prosperous lake. It was so epic because it’s my first time seeing it and a bit dramatic because we are already on the verge of loosing hope 🥺 Thankfully, she showed up with her intense colors and her moves even for just 30-45 mins. Thank you Emit/Emet and yellowknife vacation tours! Chasing Aurora checked off my bucketlist ✅🎉”
