This exceptional journey immerses us in the heart of the boreal spring, a unique time when life intensely reawakens in the vast wilderness of the Yukon.
In this season of light and renewal, the boreal forests and alpine valleys awaken under the midnight sun. The days almost never end, offering golden hours ideal for wildlife observation and photography. It’s birthing season: young grizzly bears cautiously emerge from the forest, moose accompany their calves through the waterways, and migratory birds repopulate the lakes and marshes in a symphony of songs.
Flowers, vibrant buds, low-angle light, and an endless sky create a striking backdrop, changing with the hours like a living painting.
Each day is an immersion into a vibrant and fragile world, where every encounter with an animal becomes a rare moment: a curious lynx, an eagle in flight, a playful fox, or a grizzly mother attentive to her cubs.
A journey of wonder and deep connection to nature, imbued with the magic of the Arctic spring.

Itinerary:
Day 0 – Arrival in Whitehorse
Participants arrive in Whitehorse the day before the tour date and spend the first night at the hotel (included), to rest from the journey and prepare for the adventure.
Day 1 – Departure to the wild heart of the Yukon
After a warm welcome at the hotel and a presentation of the trip, we do some last-minute shopping for final preparations before heading to the lodge. Located in the heart of nature, it will be our base for nine nights. Settle into the cabins and enjoy a first immersion in the magnificent surrounding landscapes.
Days 2 to 9 – Total immersion in the wilderness
Each day is organized according to the rhythm of light and wildlife. We depart early in the morning and late in the day to maximize our chances of observation and beautiful light.
The immediate surroundings of the lodge, regularly traversed by local wildlife, already offer excellent photographic opportunities: moose, lynx, bears, raptors, and bighorn sheep.
We will also explore the surrounding trails on foot, sometimes by vehicle, always on the lookout for a track, a movement, a presence.
One day can be dedicated to a floatplane excursion (extra), above the glaciers and towards the mountains of Kluane National Park. A unique opportunity to photograph spectacular landscapes, perhaps with a clear view of Mount Logan, Canada’s highest peak.
Each evening, returning to the lodge allows us to share the day’s images in a warm and serene atmosphere.
Day 10 – Return to Whitehorse
We leave the lodge midday to return to Whitehorse. A final night at the hotel is planned before departures the next day.
