Perfect Earth Tours
Whether you prefer your luxury spa getaway to take place in an Eco Teepee or Eco Lodge, Perfect Earth Tours Eco Spa & Adventure Retreat can deliver the ultimate experience. Located in Canada’s Yukon wilderness, both options reflect a dedication to environmental stewardship, from organic canvas and hemp teepees, green energy power, support of local organic businesses, organic silk linens, and natural organic rubber mattresses, to running resort vehicles on bio-diesel and using recycled products whenever possible. Not that you’ll be roughing it: the operating mantra of founders Alana Nelson and Mike Mueller is that just because you have a conscious doesn’t mean you have to compromise on luxury. The variety of spa selections includes an Aroma Flow Massage, Reflexology Therapy, and Alpine Herb Facial, featuring all-natural products from Saje. Four-day and six-day trips are offered, beginning with your arrival by floatplane from Whitehorse, where you’ll be met by a horse-drawn carriage. Guided day excursions include walking and horseback options, plus gourmet meals. Wildlife viewing might reward you with a glimpse of the caribou, Dall sheep, moose, or Grizzlies native to the region, but there’s no need to worry about being followed back to your tent—the site is amply guarded, with extra patrols conducted by Klondike and Teslin, Nelson and Mueller’s trained dogs.
