The best time to visit the Yukon for the dancing aurora borealis tends to be between mid-September and April. The biggest and brightest light shows can often be in the fall season. Contact one of the operators listed below and they can share thoughts and secret spots for viewing the northern lights.
We love saying "interplanetary magnetism", "solar wind" and "particle density". This is the language of the aurora borealis. We take our northern lights seriously and have developed the tool below to help predict when you can see this amazing phenomenon. With scientific data collected from the Space Weather Prediction Centre, we're able to forecast every 15 minutes.
Pay particular attention to the activity level bar. The higher the activity level the higher the probability of northern lights. So if the green aurora band over the earth is bright and dancing, throw on your boots and jacket, get yourself outside and look up.
