    It was a great experience, we loved the waterfall and Ismael, a great guide, he is very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended 10 out of 10. It was also incredible that he spoke Spanish.

    I took the tour with Ismael, a genius! Along with six other people, we hiked along the lake for what felt like an hour to reach a trail leading to Back Bay Ice Falls. We took some photos and returned the same way. A great option for a trip to Yellowknife.

Yellowknife is a vibrant city located on the northern shore of Great Slave Lake. Known as the "Aurora Capital of North America," it's a magnet for travelers who want to experience stunning natural landscapes, northern lights, and the unique culture of Canada's Northwest Territories. From ice roads and dog sled rides to lively local festivals, this destination offers adventures for every season.

A Glimpse into the Past

The city began as a gold mining settlement in the 1930s, quickly growing into a hub for fortune seekers and adventurers. Over time, it evolved into the capital of the Northwest Territories and became a cultural crossroads, blending Dene traditions with modern Canadian life.

When to Go

If the northern lights are on your bucket list, visit from mid-November to early April, when the skies are darkest. Summer, from June to August, offers nearly endless sunlight, comfortable temperatures, and chances for hiking, fishing, and boating. Each season unlocks a different side of this northern gem.
