De beste Aurora-tour

Would not recommend this tour. No campsite, no washrooms and no hot drinks. Put on a hot packed bus and told we’d be chasing the lights for 4 hours. Asked about the campsite and was told chasing would be better as it was cloudy. Didn’t sign up for a bus ride. Got off the bus and didn’t do the tour.

Mike on J Guang tours did a good job, he's entreprenurial, spoke clear English, was interested in providing a good tour and information.

We had a great time! The aurora was beautiful. Our pictures and the host's give us a wonderful souvenir of our tour!

We had an amazing time, we were lucky with the skies being clear and able to see the Northern Lights and grabbing amazing pictures. Jimmy, our guide was knowledgeable and personable, he made it fun and had great ideas for photos. Thanks Tanya and family.

The guide Jim was very helpful and he tried his best to make everyone happy. Even there had been just small almost invisible auroras.

it is the worst of the 3 tours I joined, not the "best". they drove you to their camp, waiting and waiting, just wast time. Who care about your camp? they provide "cookie" and "hot chocoholic" at the camp as they advertised. But who care about that when people just had dinner and came from warm hotel. While during the cold trip, they had nothing to provide you.

Our tour guide, Mike, spoke almost completely in Chinese, probably because all the other people on the tour understood him. The tent area with the tepee had a cozy vibe. There was no aurora, I understand that this is not anything that anyone can control. We waited in one area, Lake Prosperous. The sky cleared and we got a star studded dark sky. The guide did not seem interested in going to other spots or explaining that maybe he knew that the chances of an aurora were slim. There was no effort at aurora chasing, contrary to what the description says.

This is the second tour company that I went with to see the Aurora in Yellowknife. Jiguang clearly communicated their pick- up time via email based on visibility and access to clear skies. [Our pick-up time was 1000 PM and the drive to the base camp was approximately 10 minutes.] On the ride out, our multilingual tour guide, Daniel, was very clear in terms of what to expect and accommodated any/all questions. He's also comedic which helps! For this particular night, April 4th, we went to their homebase. It has several structures. The building has ample seating and tables with complimentary hot beverages and snacks. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. The highlight was the outside of the property featuring several viewing areas. There were two teepees lit up for pictures and one teepee with a heater and clear windows. This option allowed many of us to stay warm on the inside while viewing the Aurora on the outside. There was also a fireplace area where guests could roast marshmallows. An added bonus were the two photographers who were ensuring that all guests had camera time to capture their special moments with Aurora. Although I only had experienced two different companies, I enjoyed this property and the guides. [The other tour was a bus where we went lake to lake.] Viewing Aurora is complex yet we were fortunate enough to have a clear and active evening! I highly recommend Jiguang and hope you experience the Northern Lights in Yelliwknife.

Wonderful experience! It was an amazing evening of Aurora viewing, The people were very nice, the lodge waiting to see the Aurora was comfortable and nice. They provide professional photos. It was a wonderful evening!

Pick up was easy and punctual. This is a "camp" aurora tour, where you go to a building/campground to wait for the Aurora (vs chasing tour). They offer hot drinks and cookies, and there is a toilet. Outside there is a heated teepee and a bonfire. Photographer was excellent, although we had a hard time locating her to get our pictures made (she and almost everyone else was wearing a red CG coat). The lights were stunning, and I'm so glad we booked this tour. They did seem to cater to an Asian clientele (we were the only English speakers), but our guide Rae spoke perfect English, so communicating was never a problem.
