Northern Lights Tour

So wonderful, so magical, the Northern Lights are a gift to those who live in Canada’s north and Alaska. This heavenly light show shoots green lights this way and red swirls that way as a curtain of white, shimmering light dances before you. And, when the conditions are just right, you can hear them crackle. On your journey from Whitehorse into Alaska, you might just be delighted with them nightly.

Pick Up and Drop Off at our Whitehorse Station!

In Yukon, the road doesn’t just lead somewhere—it commits you to the journey. From Whitehorse, travel through vast, untamed landscapes where distances are long, crowds are few, and nature sets the pace. This is RV travel at its rawest and most rewarding.

Located in Whitehorse, Yukon, we’re your launch point for true northern expeditions through Canada’s Far North and into Alaska. Follow legendary routes like the Alaska Highway, cross wide river valleys, and camp beneath open skies where wilderness feels endless. Whether you’re chasing solitude, epic scenery, or the thrill of going farther than most, we’ll equip you with the right RV and local expertise to take on the North with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn about about the Northern Surcharge, Restricted Travel Areas, and Prohibited Routes that you may encounter on your journey. 

The Northern Surcharge is a fee that is added to all rentals picking up from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal & Halifax that travel to the northerly parts of Canada.

Use the interactive map to see where the Northern Surcharge area applies. 

Any destination north of the line on the map is deemed to be in a Northern Surcharge area. Vehicles for northern travel must be expressly requested and confirmed at the time of reservation. By virtue of the remoteness, weather, and road surface conditions in northern areas, it is important for CanaDream to know when a Guest is driving into these regions. Guests who travel to these areas without permission will be subject to a $1500 penalty and will void all insurance coverage. CanaDream RVs are all tracked for insurance purposes and Guests will be contacted when they drive into a northern surcharge area if they have not pre-purchased the Northern Surcharge fee. CanaDream reserves the right to restrict driving access at any time.

Some roads in the United States and Canada have seasonal restrictions on them. This means that Guests can travel these roads only at specific times of the year.  Currently these travel restricted areas are:
  • Travel to Death Valley is limited to the low season (1 October through 30 April ) due to extremely high temperatures which can cause system failures.
  • Travel on the Dempster Highway in the Yukon is not permitted between 15 September and 15 May due to road conditions. We are happy for our Guests to travel on this road between 16 May and 14 September. Guests must have completed all travel on the Dempster Highway by 14 September.
Guests assume all responsibility for any expense or loss of time while travelling in restricted areas.

Guests can travel into the USA if you have advised CanaDream in advance. We will add on the US Driving fee ($100 + taxes one-time fee) to ensure you are fully insured when driving in the USA. You can call us while you are on the road or send us an email and we will add this onto your booking.  If you have been diverted due to a fire and must enter the USA to get back to Canada, please let us know so we can review the cost at drop off.

Please also check that you have the right VISA entry and passport requirements for the USA too.
