Excursion Overview

Incredible Alaskan scenery is waiting for you

Soak up the natural wonders of the Yukon as you enjoy a scenic ride exploring the crossroads of the Klondike. Take advantage of amazing photo opportunities and capture the true beauty of sweeping landscapes, towering mountains, alpine lakes, and hanging glaciers.

Become an expert of Skagway starting with a ride through historic Downtown Skagway, which is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. You'll learn all about the town's gold rush history and enjoy stories about stampeders who passed through, hoping to strike it rich in the Yukon!

The next stop will be at an overlook spot which allows you to view Downtown Skagway in a whole different way. Then we'll head north up the Klondike Highway through lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls, toward the summit of the White Pass. Once we've reached the summit, you'll experience dramatic alpine landscapes and afterward, we'll head through Canadian customs into British Columbia with several stops along the way including the "Yukon Territory" sign.

An hour in, we'll reach Carcross, Yukon nestled on the banks of Lake Bennett. You'll have free time to explore the local shops and views of the lake made famous by the Klondike Gold Rush. On our journey back to Skagway, we'll make a stop at the "Welcome to Alaska" sign.

We had Audrey and Matt. They were great and had alot of knowlede about the region. We were very lucky on our tour and saw a black bear, brown bear, caribou, porcupine and mountain goats. We were able to stop for all the wildlife viewings and get pictures. I know seeing this much wildlife is not the norm so was very grateful.

Bodie was amazing. Best guide we had the entire vacation. Again, the meeting place instructions were very vague. She was driving around trying to find everyone who was supposed to be aboard. Shouldn't be that difficult.
