Northern Canada: The True North is Surprisingly Accessible

Exploring Northern Canada & The Arctic often feels like an expensive, distant dream, but it is more achievable than you might think.

With some smart planning, you can experience its epic wonders firsthand.

For some of the world's most spectacular aurora borealis viewing, look no further than Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, a global hub for watching the northern lights.

If polar bears are on your bucket list, the legendary town of Churchill, Manitoba, is the place to be.

Known as the polar bear capital, visitors gather in October and November as bears wait for the Hudson Bay to freeze over.

The key to making the trip affordable is to travel outside of peak luxury tour dates and to utilize local operators for day trips.

The Far North is closer and more affordable than ever, offering profound experiences that will stay with you forever.
