Review of Yellowknife’s Cozy Cabin Aurora Tour, with hotel pickup, fish chowder, bannock, fur coats, and practical booking advice.

“Tracy and her cozy cabin just oozed a genuine warmth! To start, her tour bus was the most comfortable one I had been in Yellowknife. Her chowder and bannock were delicious and she entertained us throughout the night with stories. She took her time and equally spoke with every individual guest all the while cooking and cleaning all at the same time. She was so organized, set everyone’s expectations on how picture taking was going to be once the aurora came out. She also provided ingredients for s’mores that you could make in the fire pit outside. There were a plethora of fur coats that you could try on and…”

“Tracy and Derrick, her assistant, were excellent. How do you spoke to many travelers who took the various Arora, borealis tours and Yellowknife and Tracy’s cozy cabin tour was by far the best. We were warm and toasty in a charming cabin in the woods, far from the lights, so viewing of the aurora borealis was excellent. Tracy was a most accommodating, hostess, serving us, homemade fish chowder, and homemade Bannick. She had games and Inuit clothing for us to take pictures in, should we choose, and we sat at warm and comfortable tables and chairs all evening, running outside to see if the Northern lights were showing. We took…”
