You'll be so close, you'll almost feel like you can touch them.
We like the northern lights, they have something magical that overwhelms us. For this reason, when we had already talked ad nauseam about hotels to see them, about sleeping under them in a bubble sled, about getting on a cruise that guarantees the show and even about the map on which tips are recorded to contemplate them in real time, our joy has grown to infinity and beyond to discover that fly with them, contemplate their dance of lights so close that you would think you could touch them, it is possible.
Dawn 360 It is an experience that will unfold between February 8 and 11, 2019 in Yukon, the Canadian territory bordering Alaska, during which a private charter flight will take its 80 sole occupants to immerse themselves in the northern lights to see it closer than ever.

Also, at the price of 2,939 dollars (about 2,600 euros) per person is contemplated accommodation for four nights in a double room in three-star hotels and transportation from the hotel to the airport.
