There are three docks in Skagway and three different meeting locations. 1. If your ship is docked at the RAILROAD Dock (next to the rock cliff with the landslide), you will either take a shuttle bus or a tender (small boat) from your ship to the tour guide greeting location. Tendered guests will step off the boat and walk up the ramp to meet the guide. Shuttled guests will find the guide waiting at the Ship Shuttle drop-off area. Regardless of the location, your guide will be holding a Rainbow Glacier Adventures sign. DO NOT WALK TOWARDS TOWN. Once your guide has met all members of your group, they will then escort you to your tour vehicle. If you do not immediately see a Rainbow Glacier Adventures guide, stay and wait at the greeting area. 2. If your ship is docked at the BROADWAY Dock (in the center of town), walk to the greeting area at the end of the pier. Your guide will be holding a Rainbow Glacier Adventures sign. Once your guide has met all members of your group, they will then escort you to your tour vehicle. If you do not immediately see a Rainbow Glacier Adventures guide, stay and wait at the greeting area. DO NOT WALK TOWARDS TOWN. 3. If your ship is docked at the ORE Dock, walk across the wooden pier to the greeting area. Your guide will be there holding a Rainbow Glacier Adventures sign. DO NOT WALK TOWARDS TOWN. Once your guide has met all members of your group, they will then escort you to your tour vehicle. If you do not immediately see a Rainbow Glacier Adventures guide, stay and wait at the greeting area. 4. Hotel and B&B Guests: This tour departs from in front of your lodging. Watch for the van with the Rainbow Glacier Adventures logo. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR PASSPORTS AND/OR OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION! This is an international tour and guests will not be allowed in the vehicle without the correct documentation. Canada will only accept Official Passports or Passport cards. Our tours leave at the appointed time and there will not be time for you to go back to the ship to get your documents. Your assistance in this matter will help guarantee an on-time departure. If you do not see the guide by 15 minutes prior to the tour, please call the tour operator.

Take this Tour! We loved it!

David_M, Jun 2026

This was a spectacular tour! Our guide was outstanding and as a photographer, she helped us to see things through her eyes. We loved the pace and the views are “a postcard at every turn!” Take this tour! Afternoon is the perfect time to go. No crowds - small group experience - so we bantered about life in Alaska along the way. We saw a beaver and she turned around to see one swimming and diving into their den. (See picture). She taught is how to take the waterfall shot. They communicated well and made it easy. We loved this trip - worth every penny!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thanks so much for this great review. This Skagway's Hidden Gem tour is a new tour for RGA this year. It is helpful to get reviews like this! My idea on this tour is to take advantage of a quiet and beautiful time of day at the White Pass summit and surrounding area. This tour is only available for guests who are on cruises that depart Skagway at 8pm, so not everyone can take advantage of this time slot. But most of the ships in Skagway are in port until 8pm, so this is an option for most of those who come to Skagway by ship. Thanks again.

Mikey for the Skagway SAVE!

We arrived in Skagway in late May and were part of a 4 cruise ship slam on this tiny Alaskan town. The weather was EXTREME (and I am actually an Alaskan who has endured my unfair share of wild weather in my years here) We had a high wind warning and we were bombarded by freezing rain that sliced us sideways. At one point it even turned to snow. Our guide, Mikey, got us safely to the summit of one of the most spectacular highways in the world. He shared all sorts of great information that was even new to me. While the top of the mountain was socked in solid we persevered to the other side and the weather gave us a bit of a break. And wow! We saw a bear, two caribou and even got a peak at the peaks on the way back. Because we were just a group of 4 we also had a bit of time to have Mikey take us around the town of Skagway where we got to experience even more hidden gems of history and gold rush hysteria. Boat people? My best advice - skip the industrial, rip off tours the cruise lines try to sell you on and go with the locals whenever possible. And in Skagway - go for the great group of guides with Rainbow Glacier Adventures. Thank you Mikey for making a miserable day one of the most marvelous days we had on the cruise!
