Hi my elderly parents are visiting from asia
And one of their Bucket check list is to see northern lights

Is there an observation area that give you the best chance to see it?

They want to avoid the special tours package that priced really high.

Can you just fly to yukon somewhere and get a local tour guide to take you to some observation center or some sort? And at a scheduled time the light will somehow visible. And is $1000- $1500 budget will get you see northern lights?

Or all tours are super rugged wilderness style with extreme weather and hiking required?


I think my parents idea to see it is in some comfort and warmth place to watch them


I never see northern lights myself. But my mind tells me it need some extreme hiking and withstanding cold weather conditions in uncomfortable tent cold and muddy waiting at night type thing... And only a small percentage the chance that it would be clearly visible. Unless you know how to carefully plan time and with the mercy of weather and clear sky in the prediction...

Anyone has experience this has any tips for the highest chance to see it with minimal planning and a small budget lol...?

Thanks
