About Arctic Range Adventure

My group and I did the 1/2 day wildlife preserve tour. Our guide, Kei, was knowledgeable and friendly - we really enjoyed chatting with him and learning. We got very lucky with the moose being up close and the mountain goats coming down for us. Would recommend doing this tour!

I booked two tours in Whitehorse to view the Aurora borealis through Arctic Range Adventures and both of them were amazing. The tour guides were very nice , kind and made sure we had the best time. There were snacks and hot beverages available and the cabins were well heated. There was also a fire pit in the Tipis where we could roast marshmallows while waiting for the lights to show up. Yuri, one of the tour guides was especially very nice and warm.. She was very knowledgeable and gave very good information on the Northern lights and other activities to do in the area.. Big shout up to Yuri for being so exceptional..Your service was very much appreciated..Keep up the good work..

We booked a few tours over 4 days. By far the best was the half day dog sledding. Learned lots, had great food over an open fire and had a fun sled ride. Wish we booked the full day. The Aurora watching was fun and we did get to see some but our cameras showed better colour than we actually saw. Great we could warm up in the teepee or yurt and get a hot drink. The wildlife tour was good but not all the animals were cooperating with us and were hiding. What we did see was exciting. Overall our guides were fun and informative. Thanks for the great adventure.

We went on the Arctic Day Kluane National Park Tour and it exceeded my expectation and I was amazed by all the spectacular scenery. I could not have asked for a better tour of the park. Tour bus was comfortable with big windows. We made many stops for photo ops and bathroom breaks. We ended up doing 3 good hikes of various difficulty levels but they were all worth it and I was pretty tired by the time I got back to the hotel. Tour guide was excellent and gave us water and snack and good information about the park and Whitehorse. There is also a stop at the Kluane interpretation centre which has a combination of Parks CDN and Indigenous displays and a short film to watch. This was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend it. Bring good hiking shoes, snacks and lunch. So many great pics. This tour is a feast for the eyes and the soul. 😊

We thought about trying to see the northern lights on our own. We are so glad we went on the tour with Artic Range instead. The guide picked us up at Edgewater Hotel and drive us an hour out of the city lights on a very comfortable bus ride. He brought us to private property that had a warm cottage with hot drinks and cookies, and a really big teepee with a bonfire inside to roast marshmallows, and an open field with camping chairs and tripods. When we first walked to the open field I saw a light aurora cloud right away. Our guide taught us about aurora, helped us all take better photos and even took pics of us with the aurora! I thought the tour would seem long but it went by so fast. It was truly an amazing Aurora experience because of Artic Adventure! I highly recommend!!! A++

I joined Arctic Range Adventure's multiday tour with 3 aurora viewing nights, city tour, wildlife preserve, and hot springs. I also added 2 more nights and a full day snowshoe at Kluane National Park. On the first night, the Auroras made a spectacular show, it was so satisfying that I felt like I could go home after that! The Auroras weren't as amazing on my 2nd and 3rd nights, but they were still there and visible at some point. Their Aurora Centre has a warm cabin with cookies and hot drinks, while their yurt/tipi has a campfire where you can roast marshmallows. There is also a waterless washroom just 30 second walk from the cabin if needed (cleanest and best smelling one I have ever seen!). All the tour guides were friendly and helpful anytime I had a question. For the wildlife preserve, the tourguide drives the bus through, and stops at each animal for you to get out and take photos. At the hot springs, photos are not allowed, but the view of the mountains from the water baths were amazing. Would've been more peaceful and relaxing if there weren't groups of chatty people everywhere, but that is always a hit and miss anywhere you go. During free time on the multiday tour, the hotel they put you in is near the Yukon River, so I walked along there a few times, admiring the scenery. The drive to Kluane National Park included a stop halfway both ways for quick bathroom break and sight seeing. Waterless washrooms again, pretty clean for being so remote. They have sanitizer on the bus if you forgot your own. Upon arrival at the park, they gave us a brown bagged lunch containing a sandwich, banana, and a granola bar. After snowshoeing on the lake, they provided hot drinks and cookies. The view while snowshoeing on Kathleen Lake was beautiful! So much space for just our tour group to explore. Not enough time. I would definitely join another tour with Arctic Range in the summer. Everything is very organized and they are punctual based on the start times they give you on the itinerary printout. The admins are also very helpful and easy to communicate with. The guides are stellar. Thank you for a great time visiting the Yukon! I will definitely be back :)

We did two tours with Arctic Range: Wildlife Preserve & Hot Springs (Feb. 22, with Bárbara) and Kluane (with Shungo and Bárbara). First, I'm grateful to the office staff of Arctic Range (namely, Jessica, Karin, and Skylar) for their prompt email replies and bearing with my many schedule and tour changes! Our guides, Bárbara and Shungo, are kind and knowledgeable, and both tours were really worthwhile! I especially enjoyed the Kluane tour. It was just the two of us so we essentially had a private bus/guide! The majestic scenery aside, Shungo was such a fun person. He shared a lot of his experiences and kept us entertained throughout the trip. I wanted to go a bit further and see more scenery (like I had done during the earlier Tombstone day tour) and they easily accommodated my request by shortening the snowshoeing time, which allowed us to drive until Dezadeash Lake, which was truly amazing for a panoramic view. It was also fun to be taken a photo of us sitting in the middle of the near-empty highway! The Yukon Wildlife Preserve and Hot Spring are also must-visits! Bárbara drove for the most part and provided commentary in English and Spanish. She is friendly, enthusiastic about the animals, and were able to answer our questions. However, a suggestion for improvement - it'd be great if we were provided with more background information about the animals and the hot spring (for example, while we were waiting for a previous group to finish before entering the preserve). Otherwise, I had a great time. If you get Bárbara as your guide, make sure to ask her about her adventure in Beijing! And if you get Shungo, Ask him about his bear encounter! Would love to take a tour with them again.

Would not recommend this company at all. I can totally empathize that weather is a major factor and sometimes unreliable however, they made the irresponsible and greedy decision to go ahead with the tour when the weather was predicted to be horrible hours before. They should have cancelled the tour and offered guests to come another night or a small percentage of the cost back. We were offered nothing and when we spoke to the owner, we were told that most people buy 3 nights instead of the 1 night that we purchased but with all due respect, why would we purchase more nights for something we didnt enjoy the first time? There was no accountability, just excuses. The guide was late arriving and the hot chocolate and cookie we were offered was not worth what we paid at all. Total cash grab, do not waste your money.

Joined a 7 days tour on my own. I did ice fishing, husky sledding, city sightseeing tour, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, wildlife tour and aurora viewing. All the activities are absolutely fun and interesting! Some activities like husky sledding and snowmobiling are operated by other companies but they will figure out all the transportation for you. You get different guides for different activities. They mostly speak in English, Spanish and Japanese. The guides are all very friendly, knowledge, professional and helpful. Ben, Ryan, Barbara, Naomi, and many more, which I couldn’t remember all their names, were absolutely welcoming and amazing! They all have their own specialties so it’s great to get to learn something new from each one of them. We went to this special place for aurora viewing which is about 40-50mins drive at night from 11:30 p.m. to 4 a.m.. There are heated cabinets and teepees where to keep you warm. They provide coffee, teas, hot chocolate and cookies. I was pretty lucky that I got to see the aurora 2 out of 4 nights. One night we didn’t get to see the aurora so the guides taught us how to make toffee in the snow! Just a heads up, you will definitely not get enough of sleep if you joined the aurora viewing every night on top of all the other activities during the day. However, I think it’s totally worth it. Many thanks to all the staff members. I absolutely had a great time in Whitehorse!

I went with them for wildlife a sanctuary trip in Yukon and it was definitely worth my money. The trip was very well guided and we saw each and every animal that is said to be there in the sanctuary. The guide explained to us about every animal and how they survive in this habitat and gave us a lot of valuable information. Even though during the tour we had a couple who could not understand English so he explained everything to them in Spanish, which I find very commendable, I don’t think any one felt left out or un understood which I admire I would definitely recommend the trip with arctic range adventure.
