What people love about Yukon and Northwest Territories Tours in September
- Best Value Aurora Viewing | Basic
The company was very organized and seemed to do well at communicating. We had different guides throughout the time and if we brought up a question or concern to one guide, the next guide knew about it and was able to address it. We didn't know what hotel we were going to stay at but the one we did stay at was nice and comfortable. I liked both a fridge and microwave in the room. I also liked the food and activities in the tee pee and yurt (roasting marshmallows, maple taffy, cookies, hot drinks) to help bide the time until we got to see the Northern Lights.
We loved it. What a amazing experience to explore the Canadian north, seeing the northern lights with your own eyes, snowshoeing in fresh powder snow. The team at Arctic Range Adventure made us feel welcome right when they met us at the airport. We especially appreciated them taking photos of us at their viewing site, couldn't have done it the way they are able to do it. Next time we'll visit the Arctic we'll go with them again...
Best Value Aurora Viewing | Wildlife & Hot Springs
- Aurora Borealis Adventure from Vancouver
Great tour. Enjoyed our time in the Yukon and had fun on nights even with no Aurora. Great guides and very helpful
What our customers ask about Yukon and Northwest Territories Tours in September 2025
What makes September special for visiting Yukon and Northwest Territories?
September delivers clear conditions for Northern Lights viewing in Whitehorse and Yellowknife as nights grow longer. The landscape transforms with fall colors particularly around Kluane National Park and the Southern Lakes District. The weather stays comfortable for outdoor activities such as Yukon River canoeing or hiking in Tombstone Territorial Park. Northern Lights can be spotted from locations like the AuroraCentre or Marsh Lake Lodge. As TourRadar travelers note "September offers incredible scenery with rich autumn colors and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities."
What are the best aurora viewing opportunities in September?
The prime aurora season begins in September across the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Key viewing spots include the AuroraCentre near Whitehorse and Indian Hunting Tent Valley Camp in Yellowknife. Marsh Lake Lodge located 35 minutes from Whitehorse provides clear views of the Northern Lights reflecting on the water. According to a TourRadar traveler: "We saw the aurora every clear night in September the views were absolutely stunning from both the outdoor hot tub and the lakefront viewing platforms."
Are there any special festivals or events in September?
The region comes alive with cultural events in September. Visitors can join First Nations celebrations at Da Kų Cultural Centre in Haines Junction and watch traditional demonstrations at Long Ago Peoples Place near Whitehorse. Additional cultural programs run at Carcross Learning Centre and Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in heritage sites in Dawson City. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The September timing allowed us to participate in traditional harvest celebrations and cultural demonstrations at the Da Kų Cultural Centre which really enhanced our understanding of First Nations culture."
What are the accommodation options in September?
The region offers a range of places to stay from the historic Best Western Gold Rush Inn in Whitehorse to remote wilderness spots like Marsh Lake Lodge and boutique hotels in Dawson City. Yellowknife features downtown hotels with special aurora viewing packages. The centrally located Sternwheeler Hotel provides easy access to Whitehorse attractions. As one TourRadar traveler commented: "The September stay at Marsh Lake Lodge was perfect - we could watch the Northern Lights right from our room and enjoy gourmet meals in their lakefront dining room."
What are the best hiking opportunities in September?
The trails in Kluane National Park offer great hiking conditions in September especially around Kathleen Lake and the Rock Glacier trail. Near Whitehorse Miles Canyon provides scenic riverside walks while Tombstone Territorial Park shows off its fall colors against mountain backdrops. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The September hiking in Kluane was incredible - the fall colors made every vista look like a painting and the weather was perfect for long days on the trails."
How much does a September tour in Yukon and Northwest Territories typically cost?
Tour prices start at 678 USD for a 4-day Aurora experience and go up to 3121 USD for an 8-day full tour with lodging guided activities and transport. Most packages include stays at quality hotels like the Sternwheeler in Whitehorse plus expert guides. A TourRadar traveler noted "While not cheap the September tour was worth every penny - the quality of accommodation guides and experiences exceeded our expectations."
