Excursion Overview

An awesome adventure into the Yukon Territory of Canada!

On the Skagway Yukon Discovery Adventure, we will first climb the mountainous Klondike Highway driving north to the US/Canadian border, paralleling the 1898 Gold Rush Trail to the White Pass summit at 3292 feet. Along the way view coastal rainforest, magnificent waterfalls, glaciers, and icy blue lakes.

Once in Canada, we journey through the spectacular scenery of dramatic lakes encircled by mile-high mountains and the Northern Boreal forest wilderness. Included are Bove Island, Tutshi, and Tagish Lakes. Pose at the Yukon Border sign for a great photo opportunity! Visit the historic Carcross Village, see the "World's Smallest Desert" and marvel at the gorgeous green Emerald Lake. We watch for wildlife (including Bears) all along our route.

For lunch, we stop at Wild Adventure Yukon (formerly known as Caribou Crossing) where you'll see the North's premier educational wildlife gallery, featuring over 100 Yukon and Ice Age taxidermy animals, and a Royal Canadian Mounted Police display. Lunch is delicious barbecue chicken with sides (vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free option available).

You'll also visit the Sled Dog camp where you can view the Alaskan Huskies, including precious puppies (sled dog or foster pups), and see some cute animals in the Petting Farm area. Please be advised that one-on-one interaction with the dogs cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, the order of stops will vary at your guide's discretion.

We so very much enjoyed our trip. There was so much unexpected beauty that we encountered. When we shared or experience with others they all wanted to know were we had been. Our guide Brook was fantastic. She made the trip that much more enjoyable. We had time to enjoy everything, never felt rushed. We would definitely do this again, highly recommend.

This was absolutely amazing. We chose this over the train because of the stops and this absolutely did not disappoint. Our driver/guide Connor was personable and attentive. He even watched for wildlife and stopped for us to take pictures of a bear that appears on the road. The vistas were amazing (of course), but Connor was what really made the trip special. He never rushed anyone and even made a quick "potty" stop for us at the border. Easy pick-up and drop off from the ship.

The tour was fantastic. Had a great time best of all the driver. Mike was amazing. He told lots of stories based on his knowledge of living in Skagway for the last 10 Years. The weather was fantastic and he stopped at all the important spots and give us plenty of time to take pictures and talk about what we were seeing. The food at the petting zoo was amazing and the animals especially the puppies were on and playful. I would recommend the tour to everyone.
