The experience

This is not a bus tour with a fixed schedule and a crowd. You get a private vehicle reserved for your party alone, a guide who knows Skagway's stories and the hidden moments that make it worth seeing, and the freedom to change direction if something catches your eye. The guide meets you at the start and spends the full day, roughly seven hours, adjusting stops, timing, and route based on what matters to your group, whether that's history, waterfalls, views, or the drive up into the Yukon Territory.

The stops themselves are the kind that don't fit a standard itinerary. Gold Rush Cemetery holds the graves of figures who shaped Skagway's past. Reid Falls is a short walk into the forest to a cascading waterfall. Skagway Overlook opens up sweeping views of the town, harbor, and mountains. Along the Klondike Highway, Bridal Veil Falls and Pitchfork Falls offer photo stops. If your group wants to go deeper, the route can reach Emerald Lake, famous for its turquoise glacial waters, or Carcross, a historic Yukon village where you can stop for lunch. A visit to the preserved SS Tutshi, a sternwheeler from the Gold Rush era, can also be woven in.

Optional additions like the Yukon Suspension Bridge or a dog mushing camp require separate admission, which your guide can arrange on the day if your group decides to add them. The vehicle has a wheelchair lift available by advance request, and the tour suits all fitness levels. A passport is required if your group travels into Canada.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the Gold Rush Cemetery and why would we stop there?

Gold Rush Cemetery is the final resting place of some of Skagway's most well-known figures from the Gold Rush era. Your guide can highlight the local stories and characters buried there, making it a stop for groups interested in the region's history, or you can skip it entirely if your group prefers other attractions.

Can we visit Emerald Lake on this tour?

Yes, Emerald Lake is one of the optional stops your guide can include. It's famous for its striking turquoise waters created by glacial minerals and sits surrounded by forest and mountains along the Klondike Highway, though it adds travel time to your day.

What happens if we want to visit the dog mushing camps?

Your guide can arrange a stop at a traditional dog mushing camp where you'll learn about sled dog racing history and meet the dogs. Admission is not included in the tour price but can be added based on your group's interests and timing on the day.

Is food included, and where can we eat?

Food and drink are not included, but your guide can recommend stops or route the day through Carcross, a historic village on the Klondike Highway where shops and restaurants make a natural lunch break.

How does pickup work for cruise ship passengers?

Pickup is included in the tour price. At the end of the day, your guide can drop your group back at your cruise ship or in downtown Skagway so you can continue exploring on your own.

Do we need a passport for this tour?

A passport is required if your group travels into Canada, which is likely depending on which optional stops you choose along the Klondike Highway and into the Yukon Territory. Check your documentation before booking.
