Highly recommend this tour and our guide, John
Fantastic tour guide - John! Kept us entertained the ride up and back with history and lore.... lots of local recommendations for food and drink after. The park was fantastic!! We walked the Nugget Falls Trail as John suggested and were rewarded at the end with awe inspiring views of both the Glacier and the falls.

Mariah’s world
An Unforgettable Yukon Adventure with Mariah!
Our excursion through Skagway and up into the Yukon was easily the highlight of our entire trip, and that is almost entirely thanks to our incredible host, **Mariah**!
From the moment we climbed aboard, Mariah brought an amazing energy to the tour. She was absolutely **hilarious**—keeping everyone laughing with her witty commentary and fun local stories—but she was also incredibly **informative**. Her deep knowledge of the Klondike Gold Rush history, the local flora and fauna, and the stunning geography made the breathtaking landscapes come alive.
> **Highlights of the tour:**
> * Seamless travel from the historic streets of Skagway into the dramatic mountain passes of the Yukon.
> * Jaw-dropping scenery with plenty of well-timed photo stops.
> * Mariah's exceptional storytelling that made a full day of touring fly by.

If you are looking for a guide who is professional, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to spend the day with, look no further than Mariah. Thank you for making our Yukon experience so special!

Highly Recommend!
Really cool tour, you get to go in an actual abandoned mine. The guide in the mine was an experienced miner and very knowledgeable, he had my kids attention the entire time which is pretty hard to do. Other tour staff were very friendly and informative as you learn about each step of the gold mining process. This tour is worth it and must do in my opinion!

Seeing Sitka through Christian and Baranof Tours.
It gave us a great overview of Sitka. The wildlife workers were able to give excellent information on the raptors, the bears, how they treat and release the injured.
Our guide Christian from Baranof Tours was excellent, explanations were easy to follow.

Fabulous experience - worth it for the views alone
Great trip! Worth it for the views of the stunning, moody Kenai coastline alone with the snowcapped mountains, glaciers and seastacks.
Saw tonnes of wildlife - horned puffins, bald eagles, stellar sealions, porpoise, sea otters, a beaver, loads of seals.
Boat was warm and comfortable, plenty of spacing for viewing on the deck, and nice to have snacks available to purchase on board.

Incredible Tour with Mike – A Must-Do in Skagway!
We had an unforgettable time on the White Pass Summit and Skagway City Tour, thanks to our amazing guide, Mike! From the moment the tour began, Mike’s energy, passion for history, and deep knowledge of the area made every stop engaging and meaningful. He brought the stories of the Klondike Gold Rush to life and shared fascinating local insights that we never would have discovered on our own.
The drive up to White Pass was absolutely stunning, and Mike made sure we had plenty of time for photos and soaking in the scenery. His humor, professionalism, and genuine care for everyone’s experience really stood out. This tour was a highlight of our Alaskan cruise, and Mike made it truly special.
If you’re in Skagway, don’t miss this tour—and definitely ask for Mike. He’s the best!
Sincerely,
The So Calis

Exciting day in Sitka
Sitka is a small town with kind and knowledgeable guides. The three main tourist spots are all hit on this tour. The raptor park is small but you get very close to all the birds. Many bald eagles and golden eagles. The bear exhibit was excellent. We were there during feeding and the bears were in a great mood and very close to the edge of the pen. Finally we stopped at the totem park and visited the salmon run. During the entire trip our guide had interesting historical and informative stories. Included were several other viewpoints.

Rockin and rollin!
This is a really exciting atv tour. I have only done two others and this one had the best terrain. It was challenging for a beginner, but not crazy, we went through forested areas, up steep rocky inclines and crossed a creek bed. You will get wet, and a little muddy. Bring extra shoes!

Fabulous day
Awesome experience with great pilot! Dave was very nice and gave us all smooth trip with glacier landing - got to see Denali clear as day along with multiple glaciers and mountains. Landed on a glacier and took photos and spent about 20 minutes just in awe of the surrounding mountains and snow. A once in a lifetime experience!

Duck Tour!!
It was fun and you get to splash into the harbor. What’s not to like about that? The tour leaders are seasonal workers but they love their work and try to give you the history and be entertaining at the same time. It’s a good mix and it worked when we took the tour. It was a little confusing finding the vehicle as there was more than one on the docks and the one we thought was ours drove away. I think we asked everyone and they were helpful. Keep in mind that the tour is nonrefundable once you’ve paid for it. Also, NCL moors outside of town and a shuttle is used to take you there and then you walk about 15” to the place where the Duck Tours take off. Make sure you have enough time for the shuttle as sometimes there are two NCL ships there for the shuttle. We left early (maybe 2 hours before the tour) and got to the dock in plenty of time. We had exceptional weather adding to the fun.

The most fun you’ll have in Denali!
Our guide Luke was awesome! He was funny but serious about safety. He talked with us throughout our river adventure sharing interesting stories about rafting and some of his other adventures. We went as a family (with 2 teen boys) and we all loved it. We also did a flight seeing tour which everyone raves about, but my boys said the rafting was hands down their favorite. We did the more intense one with class III & IV rapids and it was wild in the best possible way. My boys have not stopped talking about it!

Great experience
We truly enjoyed the trip! We were a group of eight and chose this tour because we wanted the flexibility to hop on and off for photos. We also booked the White Pass train excursion through our NCL cruise. The tour guide was fantastic—he made several scenic stops for pictures along the way. We had a full hour to explore the Yukon Suspension Bridge at our own pace, which was a great experience.
