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 a great time on our Skagway Yukon Extended Summit Drive Tour. The scenery was beautiful! We saw a black bear, brown bear and a deer by the road. Laura, our driver and tour guide was very friendly and informative. Great experience!

Laura was a fantastic guide! We really enjoyed our tour, and if you're the exploring type and want to go past the Yukon border, it's a great choice. We saw bears, mountain goats, and hundreds of bald eagles.

I m rating this five stars because of Sydney. She was our tour guide and honestly, she made the trip. The bus was obviously an older airport shuttle but was still comfortable. The windows were pretty dirty so it made taking pictures out the windows a little hard. But, Sydney would stop anywhere we wanted to stop. She let us take our time anywhere while still being aware of getting us back to our ship on time. What she lacked in knowledge of the area (she usually is the guide for the zip line) she more than made up for in enthusiasm. We enjoyed the tour, saw spectacular sights, relaxed while traveling and made a new friend in Sydney. We would definitely recommend this excursion and do it again if we are in the area.
