Private Skagway Half Day Yukon Charter

Excursion Overview

See Skagway Your Way on a Private Scenic Charter for up to 20 guests!

Travel beyond the streets of historic Skagway and experience Alaska at your group’s own pace on a private sightseeing charter designed entirely around you. From the moment your local guide greets you at the cruise dock, the day becomes flexible, personal, and stress free. Journey along the scenic Klondike Highway past waterfalls, rugged mountain peaks, and sweeping alpine landscapes once traveled during the Klondike Gold Rush. Along the way, your guide can stop wherever the scenery calls, whether that means quiet photo pullouts, harbor overlooks, wildlife sightings, or hidden viewpoints many visitors miss.

Half day charters are perfect for guests wanting a relaxed and customizable way to explore beyond Skagway without the crowds or rigid schedules of larger bus tours. Depending on your group’s interests, the adventure may include iconic stops like the Welcome to Alaska sign, the White Pass Summit, or even a journey into the Yukon Territory and the Yukon Suspension Bridge. With room for up to 20 guests, comfortable transportation, and a year round local guide leading the way, this private Skagway shore excursion offers one of the most scenic and personalized ways to experience Alaska and the Yukon.

This tour is typically available from May through September. Our excursions were designed for cruise ship passengers but are available to everyone.
