Canada Travel

Going there on Christmas Eve, the perceived temperature is around - 35 degrees Celsius. (Your hands will get instantly frozen within a few seconds of taking pictures with your phone. Yes, it's that cold.) 🌟🌟🌟There are two ways to chase the aurora: self - driving and joining a specialized travel agency.🌳 1️⃣Self - driving in November and December is not recommended.🐵 💗💗 The roads in Yellowknife are really dark. If you're not familiar with the terrain, the car can easily get stuck in snowdrifts. 🌈 Usually, to chase the aurora, you need to drive to a place more than 30 minutes away from the town where there's less light pollution. 🍏 🌿The signal is very poor, sometimes there's no signal at all. So it's extremely dangerous ⚠️. It's hard to contact rescuers in case of an emergency. Be sure to choose a safe way to travel ❌. 2️⃣Joining a travel agency. Compared with Whitehorse, the aurora - chasing tourism in Yellowknife is relatively mature. 🍉🍉 🙉We chose Aurora Story, a well - known local company with very comprehensive and thoughtful services.😀😀 - Bus🚌 aurora - chasing (suitable for students on a budget who don't have high requirements for photos). The drawback is that there's a fixed place to wait for the aurora to appear every day. So it's possible that you won't see👀 the aurora during a 4 - day - 3 - night trip. The aurora - chasing itinerary by bus🚌🚌 is not as flexible as that by jeep. More time is wasted on picking up and dropping off people, leaving less time for personal photography. - Jeep aurora - chasing ‼️‼️‼️Highly recommended. ✨ 🎄🎄There were four of us girls, so booking a jeep was very suitable, avoiding sharing the car with others. ✨There will be a private guide to pick you up and take you to chase the aurora. 🎈 💞The guide will take unlimited photos for you with a professional camera. Here, I highly recommend Guide Boony, a Taiwanese girl. Her service attitude is amazing. 💖 🖤I give her a big thumbs - up and highly recommend her. She even met our request to take pictures in the jeep. The experience was really great ❗️Remember, if you want to chase the aurora by jeep, especially during the Christmas holiday, as jeep vehicles are limited, you must plan your itinerary in advance.🤛 Regarding hotels 🏨, I recommend the Nova Hotel. Don't choose Days Inn as the bedding and hygiene there are poor. 🌟🌟🌟Essential equipment to buy before traveling: Down - filled pants🍙 A balaclava that can cover the whole face Touch - screen - enabled gloves (for easy photo - taking and to prevent hands from getting frostbitten)🍃 Professional outdoor snow boots. Uggs are not enough.🦋 Personally 💗, self - heating hot - pots are a must - bring item, as well as common warm - keeping equipment. 🌟🌟🌟Cost for a single - person trip: Hotel: $50 per night Round - trip air ticket: $700 Three - night jeep aurora - chasing + dog - sledding + self - driving snowmobile activities: 800 Canadian dollars 🌹🌹🌹This doesn't include food🍚🍛🍜🍝 and drinks☕🍵🍺 for three days. It's affordable for students and will surely become one of the most wonderful memories in your life👉👈 #Yellowknife #Aurora #Lighthouse #Nightview
