Why Travel To Yukon
Location
Situated in Canada’s northwest region, Yukon is bordered by the Northwest Territories to the east and Alaska to the west. Its historic and diverse region attracts many first-time and returning visitors alike. There are countless things to do and places to explore from national parks, snow-capped mountains, alpine-fed lakes to historic museums. There’s also the incredible Northern Lights. Find out what makes Yukon unique and Canada’s best-kept secret.
History
About a quarter of the population of Yukon has indigenous ancestry, so the First Nations culture and traditions are very much alive in the territory today. There are museums and cultural centres like the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre that introduce you to their heritage and history. Another significant part of Yukon’s story is the Klondike Golden Rush, one of the biggest Gold Rushes in North America. Dawson City is brimming with Gold Rush history with sites like saloon doors, wooden heritage buildings, and Canada’s oldest gambling hall.
Northern Lights
Yukon has one of the longest Northern Lights season in the whole world. Just beyond the Arctic Circle, with Dawson City lying right under the Aurora Oval, nature’s most coveted light display lasts from August to April. The winter days in Yukon are short, allowing for more time to view the dancing lights – the best time being between 10:00 pm and 3:00 am. If you’re lucky, you might catch them right outside your cabin. But for a closer experience, you can drive out of town and away from the city lights to witness the beautiful Aurora Borealis swirl across the dark sky above you.
Adventure
The Yukon is a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts. From hiking, canoeing or biking tours in the Summer to snowshoeing, dogsledding and snowmobiling in the Winter. Find peace in the wilderness while you try your hand at ice fishing, explore the fantastic landscape on a horseback riding tour, or get your dose of adrenaline rush while rafting through wild rivers. All these great adventures partnered with the amazing views of Yukon make for memories that will last a lifetime!
Wildlife
Yukon is wild – literally! While the human population is 35,000, the caribou themselves are 160,000 and the moose are 70,000. If you’re a wildlife enthusiast and want to encounter them up close and personal, you won’t have to look far to find them. Elks, squirrels, and foxes often wander close to civilization while they look for food. Canada’s BIG 5 – bear, wolf, moose, elk, and deer – can all be spotted in Yukon.
Nature
Almost 80% of Yukon is untouched, untamed, and uncrowded. Look around and you’ll see a panorama of mountains, impressive lakes, and magnificent forests – all in a larger scale. Mount Logan, Canada’s highest peak and North America’s second highest, is just well above the horizon with St. Elias Range, a long belt of rugged mountains. Kluane National Park holds the Guinness World Record for largest non-polar icefield in the world and it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can marvel at the majesty of glaciers as long as 60 km.
5 Unforgettable Weekend Adventures in the Yukon

What is Book Now?
Book Now offers you the ability to make a reservation on our website for Holiday Packages that include our Peace of Mind Booking Plan. But it’s not just a static offer – you have complete flexibility from travel dates, passenger numbers, single supplements, room upgrades, optional extras, flexible booking terms and more.
Why do some packages not offer the ability to Book Now on the website?
If a package on our website does not include our Peace of Mind Booking Plan, it will not be available to Book Now.
Due to the boutique nature and limited capacity of some travel experiences offered, they have strict payment and cancellation policies. (e.g., a remote bear lodge in Canada with only a few cabins).
Although technically possible, we have decided that it is impractical for us to try and sell these type of travel services on-line. We believe it is important that such product is discussed, so that we can ensure these strict payment and cancellation policies are understood before we proceed with a booking.
For such product we may act as an agent only for the principal suppliers. Where we act as agent, your contract for the delivery of travel arrangements will be with the principal supplier and will be subject to their Booking Conditions.
We will advise you prior to confirming your booking if we are acting as agent and we will confirm the details of the principal supplier. Our responsibility to you where we sell travel arrangements as agent for the supplier is specified in the ‘Responsibility’ section of our Booking Conditions.
Should I take travel insurance?
Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.
What should I do before travelling?
Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia. It is your responsibility as the traveller and/or travel booker to meet all government entry requirements.

Can you book my international airfares?
On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.
However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.
We found that many customers may prefer to:
- Travel on a specific airline of their choice
- Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
- Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
- Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
- Use their travel agent for this service
We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.
