Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour

Christopher_H, May 2026

Puppies and views with Connor 10/10

Yes, the puppies are adorable and totally got me to select this tour. But, the drive up from Skagway was the real treat. The weather wasn't the best but the drive through Alaska into the Yukon was still fantastic! Originally, my other party member wanted to take the White Pass railway tour, but this was ultimately better. We got to see the same beautiful views and then some, then we got to play with puppies! There's an optional portion of the same tour that includes a mushing ride/experience with actual sled dogs. About half of our tour group did the mushing, we did not. Everyone who did said they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Kinda wish we did it. But we just got to spend more cuddle time with the pups which was perfectly fine with me, too. Connor, our guide and driver, was very chill and super knowledgeable about the area. He had plenty of stories to share and made the 2 hour drive each way very enjoyable. He also took great photos for everyone at the welcome to Yukon and Alaska signs. He also made sure, multiple times before we left and during the tour, that we all had our passports. Connor is a cool dude and great guide 10/10!

Excellent tour!

Vanessa picked us up at the cruise dock and we drove up to the Yukon. We saw a wolf! The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and there were a lot of mountain goats. She provided a ton of information about the areas we went through and gave us plenty of stops for photo opportunities and we had a little time for shopping and snacks in Carcross. She dropped us off in town at a restaurant for lunch and made everything so easy.

Nice relaxed tour. Made...

Nice relaxed tour. Made several stops for pictures. The tour driver, Kayla, gave a good overview of the history of White Pass and the area. The last stop was at the Gold Rush Cemetery, from where we had time to walk up to Reid Falls - not to be missed! Overall, excellent tour.

Perfectly Perfecr

Highly Highly Recommend! Perfection all the way around. The audio was perfect. We could play the videos and go back and listen again. Carcross was such a cute and quaint town. We went the last day of the season and it was closed, but I’m sure it would be great in the summer.

Words cannot describe...

Words cannot describe what my daughter and I experienced on this tour. Our guide, Garrett brought us to places that are breathtaking. It is hard to imagine the beauty that surrounds us. Garrett was very knowledgeable about the area and provided a well narrated tour. He provided many opportunities to stop and admire. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Great tour with a fun group

The chances of spotting wildlife always vary but we saw 3 black bears 2 bald eagle young kings and about a dozen mountain goats. The scenery is spectacular. I was expecting to be disappoint d at the stop at Carcross but the food was good and the taxidermy display is worth seeing. Oh - and cute husky puppies! A good tour guide makes a difference - Kenton was witty, knowledgeable and kept us laughing almost the entire way.

Memorable Trip to the Yukon

Our bus driver, Clay, was an excellent guide who was full of knowledge. Like many other temporary workers, he was visiting from North Carolina and driving for the season, but he had extensive knowledge of the landscape and surroundings. We conveniently stopped at all the picture points along the way and drove into the Canadian side of the Yukon Peninsula to see the suspension bridge. He also drove us to the picturesque Bryant Lake, which wasn’t on the itinerary because we were making good time. We stopped at the Welcome to Alaska sign, and he offered to take everyone’s pictures. He was kind enough to go back to the spot where someone had cited a moose so everyone could see it. Overall, it was a great experience.
