I decided to go to Yellowknife to give myself the best chance of seeing the aurora. I read about North Star Adventures and when I found out that they chase the aurora, I knew that this was the perfect tour to go with. When I met Joe, he had such a passion for Yellowknife and it was contagious! I began... More

Our group had a memorable experience in Yellowknife, thanks to Joe (North Star Adventures). Joe showed us Yellowknife from a local's perspective. Since he is from there, he's tour is very informative (both historical and with side notes) especially like us who our tourists. He's approach is very personal and his personality is genuine. We went to Yellowknife to see... More

啱啱由黃刀返嚟,玩得好好好開心!阿Joe (我地個導遊)超級好,好盡責,好玩得,同好友善!我地同佢講,好想睇到極光,佢就晩晚「夜觀星象」揸車同我地去好遠果d「渺無人煙」嘅冰湖呀樹林度睇,(好刺激)好難忘!阿Joe好勁,有晚明明落雪又多雲以為實冇得睇,佢竟然知道向邊個方向楂車行幾遠會有機會睇到,而落車果一刻,我地真係見到好靚好壯觀嘅極光!佢同我地講原來佢土生土長由細到大追逐極光,所以好有經驗!!:) 阿Joe佢好好人同好熱心,有一日遊程途中見到有兩個日本遊客起雪地度行好凍,佢又offer順路載佢地一程, 大家都好開心。佢仲好人到請我地去佢屋企食晚飯,仲親自下廚,真係...非一般嘅導遊,100個讚! 附帶一提:因為阿Joe係原住民,我地有機會從一個原住民嘅角度了解佢地嘅文化背景歷史以及生活習慣,佢仲教咗我地幾句原住民話,好得意,係bonus! ;) masi cho, Joe! 如果有興趣去黃刀睇極光,一定一定要搵North Star呀!! ;) 推! We had a wonderful tour at YK with North Star!! Joe, our native guide, is awesome!! He is friendly, kind, accommodating and honest! Through Joe, we experienced many unforgettable things: chasing aurora at night, eating delicious homemade caribou stew and bannock, strolling through snow king's ice castle,... More

We travelled to Yellowknife with the express purpose of seeing the Northern Lights. From amongst several different tour operators, we chose Joe Bailey's North Star Adventures and were extremely pleased. Joe proved to be a very personable, conscientious, professional guide with a clear passion for his work. We highly recommend both Joe and the Aurora Hunting tour! More

We spent a week in Yellowknife and Joe did a great job with the tours we went on with him. It was wonderful to be with someone as proud of his heritage as he is. We went on his City and Ice Road Tour, a meal at Bullocks Bistro, 2 nights of Aurora viewing, and the Traditional meal. His daughter... More
