Skagway Excursions

This experience stood out amongst many in Alaska. It was not only a lot of fun, but our tour guide/captain was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and funny. Coming from Australia, we saw wildlife we have never seen before and felt a climate so utterly different from our own. We actually did this experience in 2023 and I cannot believe we didn’t review this sooner. We still talk about it to this day. So if that doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what would.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This sled dog excursion was honestly one of the best experiences of my life! The scenery alone is worth the trip, but what made it unforgettable was our guide, Noah. He had the whole group laughing the entire time with his sharp sense of humor, and at the same time, he really knew how to keep everyone’s attention and make the experience feel personal. Meeting the dogs was incredible, and the way Noah explained everything made it even more special. You could tell he genuinely cared about the dogs and about making sure we all had a great time. If you’re stopping in Skagway on a cruise, I can’t recommend this excursion enough. It was fun, beautiful, and something I’ll never forget🤩

This was great!!!! Before you even see the dogs, the ride up the mountain in the Unimog was fun!! Then you get to the dogs. Walking in with four teams ready to go, all of them yipping and barking was awesome!!! The ride with them truly showed their power and stamina. Sixteen dogs pulled us. Talia was our musher and went on to explain about the amount of care that goes into taking care of a team that big, and she owns all 16. She was kind enough to not only take our picture in the cart but went on to take many close ups of her dogs too. That was a nice surprise. She even helped me get my book ‘signed’ when we got back to camp by one of the team. I am grateful for that! Then there were the puppies, that was the line that had me sold on this whole excursion. Cuddle time with the puppies was great. They didn’t disappoint. All in all, it was great and I recommend it. I could have done with less stops to view the scenery and a few more minutes meeting the team and holding the puppies, especially since you have to share with others.

The first half of the 2 Mile hike is arduous but can be done with a decent level of fitness. Dom., our guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. We learned about many different varieties of mushrooms, berries and other plant life in the rainforest. The raft float back to the starting point was fun and we saw eagles and other wildlife.

We had a great, relaxing journey!! This was the last stop of 3 ports in our cruise and it was a perfect, scenic, relaxing excursion after we’d been pretty busy the other days. They are extremely easy to locate right outside the princess cruise and our tour guide, Conner, was amazing!! Very knowledgable about the location, Alaska, etc

My husband and I had the experience of a lifetime. Our driver Tyler was fantastic! We stopped several times for photo ops. Once at the camp we were greated with so many adorable puppies! You can tell that the sled dogs love what they do. Watching them jump and bark from excitement was contagious. The scenery was breathtaking. Even stopped at a lake to let the dogs drink and cool down! Panning for gold was neat, you're pretty much guaranteed to get gold flakes. A core memory for life!

When booking the trip I really wanted to do the White Pass Train, but looking back on all the pictures I got during this excursion I am happy we didn’t. This tour drives you up the highway all the way to the Yukon and makes so many stops at the most picturesque locations while giving you the history of the area. The pictures we got are so BEAUTIFUL like postcard worthy. The BBQ food at the Yukon was delicious! Highly recommend getting the ice cream blueberry cheesecake in the small Yukon town (the waffle cones are handmade).

We were a big group with lots of kids (age range 1-16) and everyone agreed the waterfall tour was the best excursion! Luke was responsive and helpful when we encountered delays and helped us navigate to the boat slip quickly. The boat was comfortable and allowed for us to be inside or outside as we desired. We really appreciated how dedicated the crew was to making the experience relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. And the smoked salmon was delicious. We highly recommend the waterfall tour (and supporting local)!
