The Aurora Borealis is one among nature’s most spectacular displays and witnessing it is a transformational, once-in-a-lifetime experience. If this is the year you vow to see it for yourself, set your sights on Arctic Kingdom’s Guided Northern Lights Getaway. It’s prime viewing and so much more.

On this journey, you’ll get a taste of the Arctic way of life and experience the magic of the northern lights as they dance across the night sky during a stay in the True North. Travel to Iqaluit, Nunavut’s capital, from Ottawa on a short three-hour flight and witness a truly enchanting sight. Led by an Arctic Kingdom trip leader who lives and breathes the great outdoors, you’ll develop a genuine and sincere appreciation for the Arctic.

You’ll have full, active days of exploring and chill nights of taking in the northern lights in Arctic Kingdom’s secluded aurora viewing location just outside of town. Just kick back with a hot drink and take in one of Mother Nature’s most captivating shows. There’s even a warm tent and heated atrium should you need a break from the elements.
