Day 2 (Dec 24, 2012)


We will wake up around 9:00am and watch sunrise. 

(12:30pm-4:30pm) Aurora Village

Dog Team Ride Experience (50mins)
After having breakfast, we will take the dog team ride experience. This is the most popular activity among the visitors to Aurora Village. The strong huskies will take you on the traditional sled for an exciting ride through wooded trails and a frozen lake. You can see the dogs in action as they are so eager to run. There are about 70 dogs in the kennel all excited to take you for a ride. We can take pictures with the puppies, too, which will take about 20 minutes. Drive
 ---Your Dog Team
For the more adventurous who want to drive for their own. After basic instructions from the musher, we will be in control. We will go through the wooded trails with curbs and ups and downs. We will have lunch after the dog team experience, and then rest for a while. 


Snowmobile Experience (30mins)
Snowmobiles have replaced dog teams as means of transportation and carrying loads in the north. They have a fleet of Canadian-made snowmobiles, called ‘skidoos’. They will provide us with helmets, and instruction.


Snowshoeing Experience (90mins)
Aboriginal guide will take us to the back trails of Aurora Village on traditional snowshoes. He will explain about the faunas, and herbs that people of the land have used for centuries. We will also see the footprints of wild animal, and explain about trapping. He will show you how you make fire quickly. 


(9:00pm-1:00am) We will go to Pilot’s Monument, one of the best visions to observe aurora. 

Costs: $95 per person + GST (extra cost $60 or $90)
