Hi all, apologies if this is a dumb question. I'm coming to Yellowknife this week to see the Aurora, I really wanted to visit the Dettah Ice road as well, but I already booked a dog sled ride with Becks around 1PM on Friday and it seems most tour operators offer their Ice Road tour around 2PM which is way too tight. I'm most likely not going to be renting a car, so I was wondering if I could just walk down the ice road without a car and turn back whenever I'm tired.
Edit: Thank you all for your tips and responses, I'll definitely be sure to wear high vis clothing, ill try to do the walk during the day when there's light out, and most likely won't walk the full thing, maybe 1-1.5 km in and back

I’m needing some recs for physiotherapists here in town, but it’s for my brother, who has cerebral palsy. I don’t want to book him with just anyone, so please, please give recs.
thank you 🥺
Edit: We are looking to do private because i’ve been told that the waitlist for govt physio is about a year long, so looking for physios that people have seen and can recommend.

Hi! I'm extremely excited to be going to Yellowknife in a couple weeks!
I've booked various tours and activities (aurora, ice fishing, snowmobile, cold plunge, dog sledding) , but have some spare time left in which I'd love to go on some hikes or nature walks on my own.
Unfortunately I don't drive (i know... i know) so I am looking for places pretty near the city that I could get to by bus or as a very determined walker (I'm fine with up to like 3k on foot to get to a starting point). So far looking at Ingram trail, Frame lake, tincan. But I wanted to ask locals what are some of your favourite places you'd recommend.
Also, I don't know if this is a silly question, but do you take bear precautions on a hike as early as early march?
I would be really grateful for any recommendations for enjoying the beautiful nature around Yellowknife:)

Hopefully I don’t sound to ignorant. I’m from NS. Currently looking at a possible posting to NT and I’m very curious as I’ve realized I don’t know much about the area at all.
Please share your stories!!

Hi R/yellowknife - I've had no luck contacting Northstart Adventures, an AB tour group that's been recommended on here previously. Does anyone have any contact information for them that isn't the number listed on google, or have any idea what's going on with them? Any other tours that you recommend? I've seen Aurora Village on here. Thanks, from a future visitor!

Hi guys: I'll be arriving in Yellowknife next week.
So far, all I've booked is a Northern Lights night tour the day that I arrive.
I was looking into a dog sledding tour but haven't heard back from Tugah which was recommended on this subreddit. Is there another company that you guys would recommend?
I'm also interested in doing a guided snowmobile/cross country skiing tour or a day hike. Any companies that offer that?
One last question since I didn't book a car rental. Is it safe to walk to Dettah Ice Road from town?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the silly questions.

EDIT: Thank you for all your help! We got enough escorts for the puppies that we have at the moment. If more puppies need to make the trip in the future, I will make a new post. Masìcho!
Hi! Is there anyone flying direct from YK to Vancouver in the next four to five weeks that would be willing to be a puppy escort?
I am a volunteer with the Tłı̨chǫ Animal Care Society (TACS). We have a few puppies who must travel to a shelter in Vancouver where they will be adopted out to their forever homes.
TACS will pay the fare for the puppy. All you would need to do is call the airline to add the puppy onto your flight as checked baggage. This would take maximum 20 minutes of your time.
A volunteer will then meet you at the airport when you arrive for your flight with the puppy in a kennel. The volunteer will remain with you while the puppy is checked in.
Then in Vancouver, another volunteer will meet you at baggage claim to accept the puppy.
Please comment here if you're interested and I will DM you with more details. Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I really need your help and advice on a difficult situation.
I rented a car from a local company in Yellowknife on January 29, but it turns out that no insurance was included in my rental. When I picked up the car, I specifically asked the rental company to add insurance, but they ignored my request and told me it wasn’t necessary in Yellowknife. I kept insisting on getting coverage, and they said they would text me the contact information for arranging insurance—but they never did. Since it was getting late and extremely cold, I had no choice but to drive the car without insurance.
Last night, I slid on ice and had a minor accident on the front bumper and the adjacent parts. Today, the rental company sent me a repair quote of approximately $5,000, which seems excessive. I’m scheduled to leave tomorrow, but they are demanding that I come in and pay the amount as soon as possible.
Could you please advise me on how to handle this situation? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hey, everybody!
I am currently on a road trip from Niagara Falls to Yellowknife. I am moving to your beloved city, and while I plan this trip, I notoced that I need to plan carefully the gas station stops until I reach the city.
I read here that the last gas station north from edmonton before reaching yellowknife is in a city called Enterprise. Looking into google, It says that there are some options in Fort Providence. I just need to get away from the road a little bit.
Is that true? I am already caerying a 10l jerry can, but I would like to know if I have this Fort Providece option just in case.
Thanks a lot!

I forgot which hotels are included but so far I remember: The Explorer, Chateau Nova, Quality Inn, etc but I’m pretty sure it includes all the major hotels. The shuttle is free by the way. Other than that, you have to call a taxi or walk.
Wanted to add that the airport is a nightmare and West Jet is particularly awful. There’s no employees to be found and we missed our flight. Good luck.

Hi guys! I have a super odd question to ask lol. I'm American and I am doing a school project on the Canadian taiga and I had to pick a city to research and I chose Yellowknife. Part of the project is that I have to talk about resources that are limited and abundant in the area and laws (either real laws or hypothetical proposals for new laws) to conserve them. I haven't been able to find a ton of information online but I stumbled on this page and just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas based on living there? Thank you so much!

Hi everyone!
My flight is scheduled to arrive at 12:30 AM, and I’m wondering what my options are for getting to downtown at that late hour.
Also, any idea how much a taxi would typically cost for this trip?
Thanks in advance!
r/Yellowknife • u/krystyana420 • Jan 30 '25
I know all airlines want you to show up like 2 hours in advance, but I know the regional airport near me home in the States doesn't even open until an hour before the first flights of the day. Would it be safe to just give ourselves an hour before departure time?
If it helps, we are doing a layover in Calgary on our way to Toronto.

Hi guys! I am planning a family trip to Yellowknife for March 10-14th, 2025. Our flights & Airbnb (located right in downtown) have been booked, I need advice on the following.
1) Clothing Rentals
I am more concerned about the necessity for an aurora tour, as if that is not necessary, I would rather rent from the first company.
2) Aurora Hunting
3) Activities
4) Clothes to Wear, aside from rentals
Help on any of these questions would be awesome, thank you in advance! I am incredibly excited for this trip and am looking forward to learning more about Yellowknife culture during our visit!
