Great 4.0
Upon arrival, I found hair on the bed and towels, and the sheets were wrinkled, which made me question if the room had truly been cleaned. Although the issue was promptly resolved after I reported it, it left me feeling a bit distrustful. This was disappointing, especially for a higher-grade hotel.

Today's weather was quite cloudy, but our female tour guide and driver worked very hard, observing the clouds to find a suitable spot for aurora viewing. In the last hour before we had to leave, we finally saw the aurora, which was incredibly lucky. I'm very grateful to her for driving us around to find the best viewing spots and for helping us take beautiful photos. 🥰

Our 4-day, 3-night trip was excellent overall. I was a bit worried at first, but upon arrival at the airport, a tour guide met us. On the way to the hotel, we saw the Northern Lights, and the guide immediately helped us chase them and take photos. Due to limited room availability, we couldn't stay in the same hotel for all three nights. The guide assisted us with the hotel transfer and arranged for us to tour the city with explanations. For the three nights of aurora chasing, on the second night, we were arranged to wait for the Northern Lights in a house, or we could choose to wait in a tent. On the third night, we waited in the car. Hot tea and water were also provided.

I am Korean and went on a tour with Chinese tourists. The Chinese male guide was very kind. However, a snowmobile driven by another Chinese tourist went off the road and into the mountains ^^. The guide worked very hard because of that tourist. I got to ride the snowmobile for a long time. Thank you for creating unforgettable memories.

The coach was really friendly and helpful. He make sure that all of us knew how to control the vehicle and took care of us all time. The whole experience was safer and interested than I thought. Hightly recommend this to other!

What to know before visiting Yellowknife

Quick snapshot of Yellowknife and what draws visitors

Yellowknife’s busiest booking season peaks in October, and its top activities are cultural experiences, outdoor & sports activities, and tours. Demand rises sharply into the fall while bookings are lowest in August, giving the city a strongly seasonal rhythm of quiet summer lull and an autumn surge.

When to visit for crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, October is the peak month for demand and August is the trough. Prices, however, peak in July and then drop through late summer and autumn, with November typically the cheapest month on Klook. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for late summer into November when demand eases and prices are generally lower; for peak-season atmosphere, plan for October when activity levels are highest even though prices are already down from their July high.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most visitors who book through Klook typically arrange activities a few weeks in advance (around 20 days), with many last-minute bookings still possible within about three days. If your trip falls in October’s busy season, consider booking earlier — especially for popular tours — while more spontaneous planning works well in quieter months. Use Klook to lock in cultural experiences and outdoor activities once your dates are set, balancing flexibility with the lead times above.
