FRIENDLY, FUNNY STAFF - GREAT HOME BASE! - This is the second tour company that I went with to see the Aurora in Yellowknife. Jiguang clearly communicated their pick- up time via email based on visibility and access to clear skies. [Our pick-up time was 1000 PM and the drive to the base camp was approximately 10 minutes.]
On the ride out, our multilingual tour guide, Daniel, was very clear in terms of what to expect and accommodated any/all questions. He's also comedic which helps!
For this particular night, April 4th, we went to their homebase. It has several structures. The building has ample seating and tables with complimentary hot beverages and snacks. The bathroom was clean and well appointed.
The highlight was the outside of the property featuring several viewing areas. There were two teepees lit up for pictures and one teepee with a heater and clear windows. This option allowed many of us to stay warm on the inside while viewing the Aurora on the outside. There was also a fireplace area where guests could roast marshmallows.
An added bonus were the two photographers who were ensuring that all guests had camera time to capture their special moments with Aurora.
Although I only had experienced two different companies, I enjoyed this property and the guides. [The other tour was a bus where we went lake to lake.]
Viewing Aurora is complex yet we were fortunate enough to have a clear and active evening! I highly recommend Jiguang and hope you experience the Northern Lights in Yelliwknife.

Really good "camp Aurora " tour - Pick up was easy and punctual. This is a "camp" aurora tour, where you go to a building/campground to wait for the Aurora (vs chasing tour). They offer hot drinks and cookies, and there is a toilet. Outside there is a heated teepee and a bonfire. Photographer was excellent, although we had a hard time locating her to get our pictures made (she and almost everyone else was wearing a red CG coat). The lights were stunning, and I'm so glad we booked this tour. They did seem to cater to an Asian clientele (we were the only English speakers), but our guide Rae spoke perfect English, so communicating was never a problem.

The very best! - We were blessed with clear skies, a sliver of a moon, and amazing Auroras all night. Highly recommend this company! This tour company is top-notch. Very good communication, very attentive all through the evening. They provided a viewing teepee that was heated, a bonfire for warmth and roasting marshmallows, and a room at the house to get warm drinks and access to a restroom.
They took professional photos as part of the package.
A bit of advice: It is important to get appropriate cold weather gear. We rented ours locally and was able to be outside all night comfortably. Some in our group were not dressed for extreme cold, and they really struggled.

Unforgettable Aurora Experience with the Perfect Guide, Rey - This 'Aurora Tour' was truly an unforgettable and wonderful experience. Luckily, the weather was fantastic, allowing us to fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the auroras. Especially notable was our guide, Rey, who took professional-quality photos and provided very kind guidance throughout. Surprisingly, he spoke fluent Korean, which made us feel extremely comfortable during the tour. Thanks to him, I managed to capture some once-in-a-lifetime shots and create precious memories. This trip became even more special because of Rey. Thank you so much!

Awesome Experience - Awesome experience. Jimmy very accommodating. He took us to several locations to get a good view of the auroras. He made sure we waited for the peak and took pictures we could download.

Mother Nature did her thing, the guide took great pictures and this tour was worth every penny! - The guide was awesome! Took tons after awesome pictures and made sure that got a lot through out the aurora “show”. He stayed outside so we did t miss anything. The cabin area has a variety of areas to take pictures with the aurora. Exceeded my expectations 10 fold!
Mother Nature cooperated brilliantly!

clouds got in our way - Not the tours fault but 45 minutes into the tour , what had been a clear beautiful night sky turned completely cloudy and stayed that way for the remainder of the night. it ruined what should have been a great tour. The sites we went to were great, the bus and Bill the tour guide was great but sadly the sky just did not cooperate.
