Hike is moderate, rafting is relaxing and not strenuous and beautiful ride to glimpse the tundra. Kay was a great guide who kept the group engaged and enthusiastic. Recommend this if you want a more active experience than a train ride

This was an amazing experience! We had such a hard time trying to decide which excursion to do. We wanted something that was active, but also didn’t want to miss out on the scenery offered by the White Pass railway that we kept hearing about. This gave us some of everything. The hike was beautiful and the rainforest was so pretty. Not too challenging, but also not just a stroll. The river float was beautiful as well. We went in May, so there were lots of snowy peaks behind us as we floated down the river. And then the drive up the Klondike Highway was breathtaking. We got out several times for pictures and stopped by the Alaska sign. Our tour guide, Bailey, did an amazing job. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and everything went so smoothly. it was clear he had done his research and truly loves what he does. 10/10, would highly recommend!
We had such a great time on this adventure. The weather was absolutely beautiful. Becca and Quetzal were really great tour guides and lots of fun. 10/10 would do this again!

Really fun hike and float. We saw bald eagles and a black bear. Hike was easy going and our guide pointed out lots of interesting things.
We had an amazing time on the Chilkoot Trail and raft float tour! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our guide, Kat. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history and wildlife, and her passion for the outdoors was contagious. On the raft, Kat’s skill and calm confidence made us feel completely safe while still having a lot of fun. It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend this tour—and if you can, request Kat!
Arrangements were spot on. Great value and super guide. We were picked up and in a small party (5) had the trails and inflatable almost to ourselves. The benefit of booking direct through Viator rather than the cruise company was saving time and money. Avoid the queue… fully recommend.
Very fun adventure. Our guide Jack was excellent, informative, and fun. All around great experience.
