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!!!

Wild Adventure Yukon Tour into Canada including City and Summit

Elizabeth_M, Sept 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, Sept 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 Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour

Kristin_H, Aug 2026

Puppies, puppies and more puppies!

We had a great time on this tour. They had 3 litters of puppies, 1 litter of Alaskan huskies and 2 litters of foster puppies. Total of 15. There was a small gift shop with snacks and a few other things that takes credit cards. They also had a treat jar that you can buy dog treats 4 for $1 cash. This version of the trip does not include the ride on the cart pulled by the dogs - everyone else on our bus had booked that version. They all did that-we had more puppy time! We were still invited to listen to the talk about gear, training and the Iditarod. Our guide Grace was very good. We enjoyed her stories of life in Alaska. She also knew great places to stop for photos. We didn’t have any trouble finding the meeting point. The tour company sent detailed instructions.
