Aurora 360 Flight, one of the Yukon’s most extraordinary Northern Lights experiences, is making its long-awaited return after a six-year absence.
The unique flight will take to the skies once again in February 2026, offering travellers a rare chance to witness the aurora borealis at 30,000ft aboard a private Air North aircraft – and a unique opportunity to see nature’s great phenomenon in all its celestial splendour.
The sky-high experience has been timed to coincide with the peak of Solar Cycle 25, a naturally occurring 11-year period of heightened solar activity, whch is expected in early 2026.
Increased solar flares during this time trigger more intense aurora displays on Earth, making the coming season one of the most powerful for Northern Lights viewing in more than a decade.
To mark the flight’s return, Northern Lights Resort and Spa has introduced a limited-availability six-day Aurora 360 Flight Package from February 12-17, 2026.
Thes exclusive itinerary combines aerial adventure with alpine serenity, offering a front-row seat to the aurora both in the sky and from the ground. The family-run wilderness lodge is one of the Yukon’s most beloved retreats, known for its remote setting, personal service and sweeping night-sky views.
The six-day package includes a guaranteed window seat on the Aurora 360 charter flight with Air North, ensuring unobstructed views of the Northern Lights from above the Arctic Circle.
Guests will enjoy three nights in a private Alpine Chalet or Aurora Glass Chalet at Northern Lights Resort & Spa, followed by two nights at the Best Western Gold Rush Inn in downtown Whitehorse.
Each day begins with a European-style breakfast and includes lunch and a three-course gourmet dinner, showcasing fresh, locally inspired Yukon cuisine.
The package includes nightly aurora viewing around the resort’s bonfire, an expert-guided nature walks, an expert-guided tour at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve and Eclipse Hot Springs, an expert-guided introduction to snowmobiling, thermal winter clothing for outdoor aurora viewing and excursions, along with all airport transfers and internal flights between Vancouver and Whitehorse.
