Viewing the Aurora Borealis had been a childhood dream and at the start of the year we decided the time was right to head to Yellowknife and see the lights. We normally take care of our own travel arrangements, sight seeing etc but given the remoteness of Yellowknife (and the fact we are from tropical North Australia and never get... More

I was on a business trip in YK in early April. I'm very thankful that I had a chance to go on a snowmobiling trip with Carlos and others. It was definitely the highlight of my trip. Carlos was very helpful in providing us with everything we needed to stay warm. He was very welcoming, and had some great stories... More

We've just came back from a Easter long weekend trip from Yellowknife. We were lucky to be able to see great Northern Lights during all 3 nights we were there. Of all the tours & places we went, we felt Yellowknife Outdooor Advantures is the best tours of the Yellowknife. We booked a night Aurora Viewing trip, and a 2... More

We really enjoyed the 3 hour skidoo-trip with Carlos. My husband and I were very happy with his professional and friendly service. He provides high-quality equipment and gear, we stopped at a cosy cabin to enjoy some hot chocolate and cookies, and Carlos takes great photos and videos of you when you hand him your camera! If you want to... More

Driving the snowmobiles was superb fun and Carlos was professional, friendly and informative. The clothes provided were very very warm and the cabin was charming. Sadly we didn't see a very good Aurora display the night we went, but that did not detract too much from what was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

We did a multi-day excursion with Carlos of Yellowknife Outdoor Adventures, and I can HIGHLY recommend him as a tour operator and guide. He is friendly, helpful, and just a lot of fun. We did a daytime snowmobile trip, a dogsled ride, a town tour, including the Ice Road, and multiple nights snowmobiling to his lakeside cabin for aurora viewing.... More

First off, Carlos is amazing. Yellowknife would not be the same without him. In fact, everyone in town knows and respects him. Why you ask? Simply because he is the best at what he does. His pricing is very reasonable and you definitely get more than you pay for. From begining to end, he picks you up, makes sure you're... More

I cannot say enough good things about Carlos and his company. Everything we did exceeded our expectations. He was great from the moment I first contacted him until the moment we left Yellowknife. The highlight of the trip was the aurora viewing at his cabin. I did know what to expect at the cabin, but the property is beautiful, well-maintained,... More
