Northern Tales Travel Services Inc.

Our family had the most unforgettable five days in Whitehorse, and that’s all thanks to Northern Tales! Emily and Aaron are two of the warmest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. From the very first email to the final drop off at the airport, everything was seamless, thoughtful, and stress-free. Their passion for the Yukon and for hosting shines through in everything they do, and it made our family reunion such a special experience. Highlights included the drive to Alaska (it was absolutely breathtaking) then the Wildlife Preserve where our guide Andrew shared so much knowledge about each animal, ending the day at the hot springs, surrounded by gorgeous mountain views! And of course, the Northern Lights!! We were lucky enough to see them twice, while cozying up by the fire with hot drinks and snacks which they had provided for us. Esteve, our guide for the Aurora nights, was fantastic. He kept the group laughing and took pictures so we could all just be present in the moment. It’s rare to find a company that combines professionalism with such genuine care and heart. Emily and Aaron went above and beyond and Northern Tales exceeded every expectation, and I can’t recommend them enough!!

Absolutely Unforgettable Experience! We had the most amazing time with this tour company — the hosts Emily and Aaron were fantastic and went above and beyond to make the trip truly memorable. We did the premium tour and it was worth every penny. One of the biggest highlights was seeing the Northern Lights not once, but twice out of our four nights — and during a full moon! Everyone told us it wasn’t possible to see the aurora under a full moon, but we did, and it was absolutely magical. The scenic drive to Alaska was stunning — you really get to take in the raw beauty of the Yukon, and the landscapes are breathtaking. Another unforgettable stop was the Yukon Wildlife Preserve — we saw every single animal, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. You could tell they really cared about what they do, which made the experience even more special. After the preserve, we relaxed at the natural hot springs, and I can’t recommend it enough — the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. If you're considering booking a tour, don’t hesitate. This was the trip of a lifetime!

I can’t say enough amazing things about our experience with Northern Tales! From start to finish, Emily, Aaron, and the whole team ensured we were taken care of. The small touches added made it more personal and inviting. For example, when viewing the northern lights, the team put together a cozy welcome with food and drinks! They also provided pads to make sitting on the tree stumps more comfortable. I highly recommend doing the premium tour into Alaska…the views were breathtaking! I will never forget this trip and the amazing nature we experienced. If you are looking to do a northern adventure, book with Northern Tales!!!

Wonderful trip to Whitehorse – November 2025 We had an amazing trip to Whitehorse! We were lucky enough to see the aurora on two nights, and both experiences were unforgettable. Our guide Pablo was wonderful—he picked us up at the airport, gave us a helpful orientation, and joined us for our first aurora night. He was kind, friendly, and made everything smooth. The city tour with Rina was great too. She was fun and informative, and we even spotted a caribou! On our second aurora night, Naoimi guided us. He was very professional and took the time to explain everything as we watched the lights together. Overall, a fantastic trip with amazing guides. Highly recommended!

First class service and awesome attention to detail. There is so much to do that we are planning a return trip! You can be as busy as you want or chilled as a glacier. Be prepared to be blown away the beauty and history of the area. Do not hesitate to put your vacation in the hands of Northern Tales. They are, "Your Gateway to the Yukon"!

I joined a 1day aurora tour, and luckily, there were only three of us in the group, so it felt like a private tour. We enjoyed hot chocolate, roasted marshmallows around the campfire, and had great conversations. Our guide, Esteve, was amazing—he explained everything about the aurora clearly, took lots of beautiful photos, and even showed me how to adjust my camera settings to capture the lights myself. If you’re visiting Whitehorse, I highly recommend joining a tour with Northern Tales!

A life changing experience. Emily and Aaron the owner/operators were the most knowledgeable and capable hosts we have ever experienced and their skill and passion is radiating every interaction. More importantly, however, is the care, time and attention they took to make us feel taken care of and every question being handled with the utmost care. The level of service was incredible and made the trip seamless and fun, even for older relatives. The Aurora borealis, the tours, and the nature reserve were awe inspiring and the landscape is breathtaking. Aaron’s knowledge as a guide and his skill of hand with outdoor crafts is legendary. Esteve was our guide for the Aurora borealis viewing and he was so fun and accommodating. Emily is the most passionate and authentic host and you will cherish your memories of Northern Tales throughout this lifetime and maybe even a few subsequent ones. Do it, and don’t delay another second!

I would highly recommend Northern Tales to anyone who comes to Whitehorse. We booked the 5 day package which included hotel, a city tour, 4 nights of Aurora viewing, snowmobiling, the Wildlife Preserve, and dog sledding. We also added an extra night and an ice fishing and snowshoeing tour. Everything was well organized and a lot of fun. The guides were all great - friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to everyone’s needs. It was one of the best vacations we’ve been on and Northern Tales is a big part of that!
