Whitehorse Airport - Thermal Resorts: Private Round-Trip Transfer

Summary

Private transfer from Whitehorse Airport to thermal resorts with easy pickup and return

You’ll step off your flight into crisp Yukon air and spot your name waiting for you—no taxi lines or confusion. A local driver handles your bags and shares stories as you ride straight to your Whitehorse thermal resort in a clean car with Wi-Fi and drinks. On your return day, pickup is just as easy—no stress, just comfort until you’re back at YXY airport.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed after landing at Whitehorse International Airport was the air — that cold, dry snap that wakes you up even if you didn’t sleep much on the plane. I’d barely zipped my coat when I spotted my name on a sign, which honestly made me feel weirdly important for someone who still had airplane hair. Our driver (I think his name was Mark?) waved and helped with my bag before I could even try to carry it myself. He asked if we’d seen any northern lights from the window — we hadn’t, but he said sometimes people catch a glimpse right as they land. That’s wild.

The ride into Whitehorse was quiet in that way only snowy places can be. The car smelled faintly of pine air freshener and something else — maybe the heater working overtime? We passed a few folks bundled up at a bus stop, faces hidden in scarves. Mark chatted about how winter roads here can change by the hour, but he seemed pretty relaxed about it all. The Wi-Fi worked fine (which saved me from roaming charges), and there were soft drinks in the cup holders — not that I needed one at 9am, but it felt thoughtful.

I didn’t expect how comforting it would be to just step out of the car right at the entrance of our thermal resort, no fussing with taxis or shuttles or wondering if we’d get dropped off miles away. On the way back to YXY a few days later, same deal: Mark showed up early, helped us load our snow boots and gear (he even had extra straps for skis but we didn’t have any), and got us to departures without rushing. There’s something quietly reassuring about not having to think about logistics when you’re tired or cold — I still think about how smooth that felt compared to other trips where things got… complicated.
