Top Alaska Shore Excursions - page 2

Don’t forget to TIP the mushers! Tanner and Brock went above and beyond on the glacier and made our tour a 10/10 and when we got back from the glacier we were all talking about how much fun we had and forgot to tip (via cash or Venmo). The company was so amazing and sent me our mushers names and Venmo’s the next day. We were a group of 7 and 100% recommend this tour to everyone. It was spectacular!!! Also! Talk with Chris! He gave us local recommendations and they were great for our group! 👏

Pam was absolutely fantastic! She was super funny, knowledgeable, and entertaining from start to finish. She kept us laughing while sharing so much great information and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We booked this excursion last minute, and we’re so glad we did! Pam really made it memorable. Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We would 110% recommend this excursion to anyone stopping in Skagway! We took the Skagway Shore Excursion: White Pass Summit and Skagway City Tour, and without a doubt, Andrew made the experience truly special from beginning to end. Andrew is one of those rare people whose personality immediately makes you feel like you're in for a great time. He honestly reminds us of Jack Black in more ways than one—funny, energetic, entertaining, talented, and just an all-around genuinely amazing guy! But behind all that personality is someone who is full of knowledge about Skagway, the Klondike Gold Rush, and the incredible history of the area. We learned so much about the town and its past that we never would have known otherwise. The scenery alone was absolutely breathtaking. Traveling along the Klondike Highway, we experienced spectacular mountains, coastal rainforest, and sub-alpine tundra, with multiple scenic stops along the way where we could actually get out and experience it for ourselves. We saw incredible places including Brackett Wagon Road, Pitchfork Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Moore Creek Bridge, the White Pass Summit at 3,292 feet, the Welcome to Alaska sign at the U.S./Canada border, Summit Lake, the Skagway City Overlook, and the Gold Rush Cemetery. We also had amazing views of the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad. One of the things we loved most was that we didn't just drive past the waterfalls—we actually got out and felt the freezing-cold water for ourselves! Those moments made the experience feel so much more real and memorable. We also hiked to the waterfall near the Gold Rush Cemetery, and honestly, it was just out of this world. Seeing that incredible waterfall surrounded by the beautiful scenery was one of those moments you simply have to experience in person. One of the biggest reasons we would choose this tour over the train ride is the opportunity to stop at so many of these beautiful locations. The train has incredible views, but you don't get to pull over, get out, hike to an amazing waterfall, feel the icy water, take your time, and capture all those unforgettable landmark and landscape pictures. Andrew knows exactly where the best photo opportunities are and is an amazing cameraman, too. He helped make sure we came home with pictures and memories we will treasure. And Andrew doesn't just give you a typical history lesson. He brings everything to life with his humor, personality, storytelling, singing, and even poetry recitations. He is also the town magician of Skagway, which somehow fits his larger-than-life personality perfectly! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, loves his town, and truly enjoys sharing its history and beauty with the people who visit. The free bottles of water were also a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. If you're trying to decide between this tour and the train, we would personally choose this tour every time. You get incredible scenery, fascinating history, numerous opportunities to get out and take breathtaking photos, and most importantly, you get Andrew. He didn't just take us on a tour—he made us feel like we truly experienced Skagway. Thank you, Andrew, for an absolutely unforgettable excursion. You are genuinely one of a kind!
