A getaway in the Land of the Midnight Sun! Take part in an Aurora Borealis Adventure and experience the northern lights dancing in spectacular multi-coloured displays. You'll have an exclusive, front row seat for nature's own light show after dark.

In late summer, the Aurora often fills the night sky, reflecting off the shimmering waters of Blachford Lake. On crisp winter nights, the Aurora, the moon and the stars light your way on snow covered paths. The northern lights have been in existence since the earth formed an atmosphere, and shine most intensely in this region.

Blachford Lake Lodge sits on a remote jewel of a lake set in Precambrian rock, just 20 minutes by charter aircraft from Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's Northwest Territories. The spacious, handcrafted log lodge and cabins offer a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.

Gourmet meals are prepared by talented chefs, and the lounge offers a cozy retreat in the evenings. Embark on a hiking trail or join an authentic dog sled excursion – discover the magic of the north!

Day 1: Fly north to Yellowknife and transfer to your hotel for an overnight stop.

Days 2&3: Today you will be taken to Blachford Lodge, a twenty-minute flight from the city. It is a spacious, handcrafted log lodge that offers a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Your home for two nights, the lodge affords the opportunity to experience the northern lights dancing in spectacular multi-coloured displays.

Day 4: Return to Yellowknife late this afternoon, or stay on at the lodge for a few more days in this pristine environment.
