Staying in Banff or Lake Louise?
Experience the spectacular magic and beauty of the Northern Lights (Aurora
Borealis) which dance across the sky nightly from October to March in certain
areas of northern Canada. You'll be flown up to the Northern Lights' unofficial
'capital', Fort McMurray, where you'll enjoy a 3-night stay at the Sawridge
Hotel.
Once you've settled in, you'll partake in a delicious welcome dinner with
an invaluable orientation and slide show detailing what you can expect to see
during your stay. Each night you'll be taken out to the special viewing area,
accompanied by an expert astrologer, who will explain exactly what's going on,
answer any of your questions and help with night-time photography.
The astrologer is equipped with a powerful telescope for even more impressive
viewing! There are also plenty of hot drinks and snacks on hand to warm you
up while watching this natural spectacular. During the day there is a wide range
of exciting tours to choose from, including dog sledding, snowboarding and skiing.
Departs Tuesday and Friday. Saturday departures on request.
