Yellowknife Aurora Hunting by Bus with Wilderness First Aid Guides

Three things separate this tour from the others, and none of them is the sky. The guides choose the viewing spots from long practice rather than a list, and they enjoy explaining what the aurora is doing. The bus collects guests at their hotel, so nobody has to drive back into town at two in the morning. The groups stay small, which matters when a dozen people are sharing one horizon and one dark patch of shoreline. Every guide is trained in wilderness first aid. On a tour that parks in territorial parks well outside Yellowknife in the middle of winter, that is the line worth reading twice.
