White Pass Deluxe Tour from Skagway

Tammy_N, Oct 2026

The Real Alaska Views

Chris is a great guide on this tour of Alaska and a peek into Canada. We enjoyed his commentary and felt that despite it being the end of the cruise/tourist season he kept it fresh. The city decided the street closures and road construction should be a pop up surprise but even that didn’t fluster this professional. Plenty of stops for scenic views and a lot of beautiful pictures were taken.

Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition

A Fun Way to See Alaska and the Yukon!

My husband and I enjoyed this outing very much., Our guide, was so fun, friendly, and knowledgeable. He was attentive and took great care of the group. We learned about the weather in the area: mountains and the tundra. The bridge was fun and views of the Yukon so beautiful. Thank you!

Ocean Raft Alaska

Michael_S, Sep 2026

Absolutely worth every minute!

My husband and I almost talked ourselves OUT of doing this excursion because it was cold, windy and drizzling when we were walking from our cruise ship to the meeting place. Glad we decided to do it!!! This was definitely one of the BEST excursions we've ever done!!! Alyssa was a badass captain who took us on an adventurous ride and Cale was so knowledgeable and personable. If you're on the fence about going: DO IT!!!

Skagway City and Summit Tour

Thomas_K, Sep 2026

Drake is Awesome

This tour is a condensed version of the area tour. The bus held about a 12 or more of us. Better than a huge bus. Pretty straight drive up to the border and back. Drake was our tour guide/ driver. He performed and very jovial and enthusiastic interpretation of the area and it's history. We enjoyed his humor and story telling. Simultaneously, he made sure we're taken care of and transported safely down the mountain. We were 100% satisfied.

Wild Adventure Yukon Tour into Canada including City and Summit

Elizabeth_M, Sep 2026

Absolutely stunning scenery. Not to be missed.

Connor did a great job driving and describing the incredible British Columbia and Yukon territory views are stunningly on touched and goes on mile after mile. The lunch was fine at the wilderness center and we are so glad we took the time to go so deep into the Yukon. The train goes up to the Yukon, but this tour goes into the Yukon for at least an hour. Highly recommend.

Dog Camp Activity and Pan for Gold from Skagway

Kaitlyn_C, Sep 2026

10/10 Would come back again!!

We had such an amazing experience on the dog sled tour in Skagway! Our bus guide, Ty, was so much fun, very informative, and an excellent driver. The ride to the dog sled camp was beautiful, with incredible scenic views and a couple of stops along the way where we were able to get some amazing photos. Once we arrived at the camp, we got to spend some time with the puppies before heading out on the dog sled, which was definitely a highlight! I also highly recommend staying for the information about the dogs and their lifestyle. It was so interesting to learn about how they live, train, and prepare for their work. We also got a short gold panning tutorial and then got to try it ourselves. We even managed to find a couple of tiny flakes of gold, which was such a fun surprise! Overall, it was such a fun and memorable experience, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Skagway!

Yukon Suspension Bridge and Summit Tour

STEVE_G, Sep 2026

A great experience with a great guide!

We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion with Gil. He was polite, informative, and patient. The stop at the suspension bridge was fun. It was a sunny, clear day, and we were able to enjoy the scenery at the bridge and several other stops. We never felt rushed. We took this excursion as an alternative to the train ride, and we don’t regret the choice.

Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Adventure in Skagway

Darcy_M, Aug 2026

Great for whole family

Amazing time! We met right in front of the boat at 2nd ave, and there are only 7 avenues to downtown so it really isn’t far to walk. Our guide was nice and funny. It was a comfortable van with 24 people total, drove about 30 minutes through beautiful scenery up to the “mushers camp” and our guide Patrick gave us some history and “dad jokes” about Skagway on the way up. In camp we boarded an open air truck with the giant tires to off road up to the dogs, my son loved the ride up. We rode the wheeled sled with 16 dogs, paused and got photos, got to pet all the dogs and meet them at the end. Rode the mog back down the hill to the camp where they gave a talk about the sled dogs and mushing, and we got to socialize with the puppies. Spent a few minutes in the shop getting coffee and souvenirs then 30 mins back to Skagway with more storytelling and jokes. My kids are 8 and 10 and we all loved it, including their grandparents who came along. Highly recommend!
