Guardians of Arctic Wonder
For over a decade, we've been connecting adventurers with the mystical beauty of the Northern Lights and the pristine wilderness of Canada's North
Born from Passion for the Aurora
Dusk Wanderlust was founded in 2012 by arctic enthusiasts who fell in love with the Northern Lights and wanted to share this magic with the world. What began as small group expeditions has grown into Yukon's most respected aurora tourism company.
Our founders spent years exploring the Arctic, learning from Indigenous communities, studying aurora science, and discovering the best viewing locations across Yukon and the Canadian Arctic territories.
Today, we're proud to operate tours that not only showcase the aurora's beauty but also support Indigenous communities, protect wilderness areas, and educate visitors about Arctic ecosystems.
