Why We Love This Deal
We rarely see Northwest Territories offers, and this one is special. Far from light pollution, you can experience the northern lights in late summer and early fall from this fly-in lodge. The lodge is located under the auroral oval, where nightly northern lights viewing is pretty much guaranteed. Complete with cozy fires, shimmering backdrops and a plethora of activities, appreciation of the North emanates from the resort.
This all-inclusive offer saves Travelzoo members $1059 on three-night packages. You'll save even more on four- or seven-night stays—up to $1858 less than the usual price.
This deal is part of our specially curated Wild Escapes collection featuring destinations nestled deep in the heart of nature, with special pricing and perks just for Travelzoo members.
