Excursion Overview

100 miles roundtrip through the beautiful wilderness to the Yukon border by mini-bus!

On this stunning White Pass Deluxe Tour from Skagway, you'll travel up the Klondike Highway, viewing impressive scenery as you go, from the breathtaking coastal mountain ranges to stunning waterfalls. Local landmarks include the White Pass & Yukon Railroad route, Pitchfork Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Moore Creek Bridge, and the 3292-foot White Pass Summit with the Welcome to Alaska sign.

At the Summit, we enter into British Columbia, Canada, and the "Tormented" Valley, a wilderness of subarctic alpine tundra and beautiful lakes. Beyond the Tormented Valley is the wilderness of the northern Boreal forest with large Tutshi and Tagish lakes with panoramic views at many stops. As we travel through the habitat of the Boreal forest, we watch for potential native wildlife roaming the spectacular scenery, including bears. The turnaround point is the Yukon border and the Welcome to the Yukon sign for a great photo.

As a bonus, we include a stop at the Yukon Suspension Bridge! View the Tutshi River canyon from above while crossing the bridge and learn more about the area with the educational displays. A snack bar is available to purchase food and then we visit the Yukon gift shop for mementos. This stop makes the tour unique among tour options that do have a similar itinerary.

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

This was one of the best experiences we had in Alaska. Our tour guide and driver was SO accommodating stopping at so many different view points and wildlife sightings. We were thoroughly engaged throughout the entire drive learning and observing.

This was an excellent excursion! We stopped at several different places, for pictures and great sites. I am glad I took this tour vs. the rail lines. Mike was very informative and answered all of the questions we had. He also gave good information on what to look for, where to go and was willing to take pictures for everyone. I would highly recommend this tour!

We got to climb through multiple biomes from the comfort of the bus, making many stops to stretch and enjoy the scenery. Like everything in Alaska, you might get lucky and have a clear day, or it might be so misty you can't see a whole lot. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, anticipating guests' needs and offering historical facts and stories along the way. The suspension bridge was a highlight! The scenery is amazing on this tour, and the bonus is that you get to get out and walk around.
