$999—Yukon's northern lights: 'A wonderful adventure'
Why We Love This Deal
Known for its expansive wilderness and remarkable national parks, the Yukon is a bucket-list destination for anyone craving an unforgettable outdoor experience. With low light pollution and clear skies, the brilliance of the northern lights can be seen from late August through April, giving aurora-chasers a wide window to visit.
These packages from Yukon Tours (an outfit with 20 years of experience) were custom-built just for Travelzoo members—you can't book them anywhere else. They've received a 100% Travelzoo approval rating. One member said the trip was "perfect in every way" and another said, "What a wonderful adventure."
