This trip offers you that one extra night in Churchill for the chance to witness the beauty of the dancing northern lights, stretching its displays of light across the northern night sky.

Our Northern Lights and Winter Nights (4 Night) adventure offers one of the world’s best destinations for viewing the beauty of the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights. This trip features iconic winter activities during the day with the inclusion of an additional night for four unforgettable nights of prime northern lights viewing opportunities in Churchill, Manitoba.

Witness the aurora borealis fill the night sky as it dances overhead on this adventure to Canada’s North. Experience all that Churchill has to offer as you immerse yourself in this charming remote town during the day and spend evenings viewing the northern lights from different locations. Located directly beneath the auroral oval, Churchill’s clear, crisp, winter skies provide the perfect conditions for witnessing this breathtaking natural phenomenon.

Your true Canadian winter adventure awaits: travel on a Tundra Buggy® across the frozen Churchill River through looming ice hummocks, race through the boreal forest on a dog sled, snowshoe through pristine landscapes, and spend evenings watching the auroras light up and dance across the night sky.

  • “We had a fantastic time in Churchill and got to see lights all three nights. The best lights were during our Dan’s Diner experience. It was over the top. Dog sledding was a must. It was great to meet such happy dogs. And I got to snow shoe for the first time. It was easier than I expected. This means I did not trip no fall. All in all, there is not anyway to improve the itinerary. It was perfect. ”

  • “One of the most unique adventures I have experienced! The town of Churchill and its residence is the most amazing area I have ever seen. If I had not come here I swear people of this quality do not exist. I am from the south USA (Nashville, TN) and have always though we were friendly and hospitable but nothing compares to Churchill and its residents.”
