Experience northern lights magic
sky dome aurora tour
The Northwest Territories are renowned for their
breathtaking views of the aurora borealis and we offer a one of a kind opportunity to witness the magic of the northern lights from the comfort of a wood-heated Skydome.
Adam N2025-01-25 Phenomenal Service for our Skydome Experience North of 60 Aurora Adventures provided us with phenomenal customer service - Kelly saved the first night of our vacation! After our flight into Yellowknife was severely delayed, we were going to miss both our winter clothing pickup and our hotel pickup for our Skydome experience. Kelly generously offered her assistance, and ensured that their van (driven by Doug, who was a fantastic guide) picked us up at the airport with our clothing waiting for us, after which we were taken straight to the Skydome! We are so grateful for her personal touch, flexibility, and kindness, without which we'd have missed an AMAZING night of Aurora viewing.The Skydome itself is comfortable and cozy, although the bathroom is tiny and not heated. You will also want to go outside to see the lights, as the Skydome windows only face one direction and don't allow for the clearest views. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the experience - the heated dome is perfect for warming up between trips outside, and you get a small-group experience (other venues will have you packed inside with far more guests on a stricter schedule). Overall, I would highly recommend North of 60 Aurora Adventures' Skydome experience - this was the perfect way to spend the first night of our trip! Line G2024-12-07 Dog-sleigh We had so much fun going on a dog-sleigh. Kelly and Larry made us a delicious lunch beforehand, and Larry shared very interesting family stories and way of life. Sandra M2024-10-01 Authentic and unique perspective Our late-summer (September) visit with North of 60 was in 2 parts. In the afternoon we were treated to home made bannock and stew, and the personal story of the proprietors' family with generations of dog-sledding, living of the land, and how stories in Indigenous tongues are being rescued and shared anew. We also got to play traditional Dene games. We returned at 10 pm to begin aurora-viewing. waiting in the cozy, comfortable dome until they appeared and then enjoying unimpeded views from the deck once the lights were out. A truly comfortable and convenient way to enjoy them, hosted by gracious and caring people. Kim M2024-03-31 On my bucket list ✅ This was an absolute blast. Riding was exhilarating and driving was even better. My grandkids loved the video I sent them of us racing across the snow. I don’t often review things but I wanted to give a shout out to North of 60 Aurora Adventures, great experience, great people. JoseVSLM2024-03-29 VIP treatment in private Skydome. Very nice location to watch the Auroras privately. Kelly, one of the owners, gave us the VIP treatment. She was great and anticipated all of our needs. She was very helpful and extremely nice. They have a very confortable Skydome, ideal to stay warm and watch the Auroras. Voyager7636142024-03-13 The most fun in Yellowknife - your own dogsled team! Six of us chose the stand up dog sled ride. What a blast! Everyone had a fabulous time “mushing” our own team of dogs thru a picturesque area just outside Yellowknife. Kelly picked us up at our hotel for a short comfortable ride to their location. Once onsite we encountered their beautiful and friendly greeting dog and we knew we were in good hands.The sled dogs were all keen to get us out for our rides, and they all seemed to be well cared for. Kelly and her husband keep about 50 dogs, many bred from huskies and greyhound rescues.The entire team at North of 60 were very friendly, helpful and all showed a great deal of care for their dogs and their clients. I would love to do this again! John G2024-01-21 Mushing with dogs…a special experience with special people. Mushing with dogs is one of the great options of visiting Yellowknife…and this family run business is really terrific. They are known as people to treat their dogs in a very sensitive manner…and it’s absolutely true. They are very caring people and they truly embraced us and made sure we felt comfortable, safe, and welcome in their compound. Great history lesson and an introduction to a special bread they made was all part of a wonderful experience. Kelly, her husband and son, all made the experience special…and their dogs are amazing spirits. Sue and John Christine M2023-12-25 Bucket list item checked off We had a fabulous ride in December with 7 of us, one small child and 6 adults. The team was accommodating for our party and helpful. It was a lot of fun in the sleds and loved petting many of the dogs. The dogs were very energetic and excited to be working. Highly recommend a tour with this fantastic family business! AdventureGirlTx2023-03-23 Wonderful Dog Sledding Experience We had a fabulous dog sledding experience at North of 60. The dogs were wonderful, really friendly and happy to be be petted and they took us on great run over the frozen lake and through the trees. We really enjoyed talking to the young men who were setting everything up for us. They all took really good care of us on our mushing experience where we had the fun of driving our own team of dogs!We had attached a GoPro to the sled which fell off at the start and the lead musher was kind enough to pick it up and shoot video for us - we got some great footage.I would love to go back and do some of their other tours where they share their cultural traditions. Highly recommend this great group!
