Yukon Sightseeing Tour

Well Worth It!
October 20, 2023
We really enjoyed this side trip from Skagway. The smaller bus and full narration was just what we were looking for. All important sites and information were pointed out and as a bonus, we made it to the Yukon! We would highly recommend this trip with this company to anyone looking to see if whites pass, and say you have been in that you’ve gone! Even if it is just visiting the Welcome to the Yukon sign, LOL!

We booked the 31/2 hr Yukon Sightseeing Tour but because of high winds all ships arrived late so the company offered us space on Deluxe Yukon Tour (6hrs) scheduled an hour later, just had to pay a small amount extra for the included lunch. 14 guests so lots of space on the small bus, our driver/guide was wonderful, a font of information, and really made the history of the area come alive as we drove up the pass, through spectacular scenery, stopping to watch the train on the other side of the valley, to take in amazing views, and even to walk the beach and stick our toes into the glacial waters of remote Canadian Lakes. Stopped at Caribou Crossing for about 90 minutes, had a BBQ chicken lunch, and free time to explore - see the sled dogs (and puppies), small but interesting museum about the history of the Mounties, and a small exhibit of the local wildlife. We arrived back in Skagway exactly on schedule, and had time for a quick look around the town before walking back to the ship.

Excursion Upgrade

Very pleased that I was able to get on another trip to the Yukon after my first choice was not available. It was excellent and I got to the Yukon..dog sleds scenery outstanding and ketchup chips ! Our tour guide Eric made the outing very enjoyable as well. Skagway and area very interesting, historical & breathtaking. Sam in the main office was very kind and helpful too. Would recommend this tour.

Beautiful trip
September 03, 2023
We were disappointed at first because we were able to take the train ride. However, this was the better choice because many stops were made on the way to Yukon to take pictures and take in the beautiful scenery. The bus driver-tour guide did a great job of giving us the history of the area. We absolutely loved this excursion.

A Highlight of Our Cruise
August 17, 2019
We took this tour while on a 7 day Alaska cruise. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. We travelled from Skagway through the White Pass into BC as far as the Yukon border. The scenery along the Klondike Highway was spectacular. Bryan Terrell, our driver/guide made the tour interesting and and entertaining. He gave good explanations of the geography, vegetation, and wildlife of the area. He also had some good stories about what it is like to live in Skagway. We made frequent stops for picture taking. The bus was comfortable and with about 12 of us on the tour, the group wasn't too large.

July 22, 2019
The tour is nice and is much better than the rail road trip that doesn't go as far and doesn't various stops. The sites are nice and the border crossing go quickly. The tour is confusingly named Yukon Sightseeing but you are actually in British Columbia and only go to the Yukon border sign.

Must do tour in Skagway
June 17, 2019
This is a must do tour in Skagway. It is about a 3 hour tour through the White Pass into BC and the Yukon. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. A large part of why this was such a good tour was due to our Driver/Guide Bryan Terrell. He was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. He knew all the best places to stop for outstanding photos, and willingly stopped whenever someone saw something that caught their eye. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and highly recommend it.

This was such a magnificent tour, one of my favorites! Being on the small bus, and making various stops along the way made the trip more personal. It was also a small group (less than 20), so there was plenty of time at each stop to admire the gorgeous scenery, walk around and take pictures. Our driver, Dori Madsen, was fantastic. She knows so much about the area, and even introduced us to some of her friends along the way. What a great day we had, I highly recommend this over the train, when you are in Skagway.

The weather was beautiful! We got to the check-in early enough to be upgraded to a longer tour into the Yukon. Our driver Maria was very chatty and provided a lot of information about the area and the history. We made a few stops along the way for pictures and rest stops but we had to get to Carcross in time for a BBQ lunch! On the way back, she showed us a desert and beach created after the glaciers receeded. A spontaneous turn into a campground found us between two bear cubs, not 20 feet from the van on either side. SO cool!! Maria even drove us to our ship because of the short timespan before it departed. It was the highlight of our cruise!

We were totally pleased with our tour from Skagway into the Yukon. Our driver was knowledgeable and had excellent taste in deciding which adventures to share during the trip.

Plenty of time was allowed for for photo opps. 10-11/10 in favor of this experience!

July 22, 2017
A small group with an excellent driver/guide. It was informative and we saw a few interesting landmarks. Wildlife was limited to sighting of one bear momentarily ahead of the bus. Despite viewing some decent scenery, this was a rather long bus ride to view very few significant scenic areas. In other words, while the "Yukon" label had grabbed our interest, the tour itself did not provide a great deal of excitement. Had we not toured in Alaska previously, I would have booked a different available tour.

Beautiful Scenery and a grizzly bear
November 28, 2016
The day was overcast and chilly, but visibility was very good. We saw the beautiful countryside with numerous mountain goats and Dahl sheep. As we drove along one of the riders said she saw a bear in the bushes beside the road. We went back and watched a grizzly happily grazing. She even reared up on her hind legs several times. Watched about 5 min until she moved into thicker brush. This alone made the trip worthwhile.

There were only five of us on the van tour including the driver. Superb wilderness scenery all through Alaska, B.C., and into Yukon. Tour guide was very informative about the history of this vast area and its natural surroundings. The driver will stop in any place along the highway, as long as its safe. We saw our first wild caribou on this tour! Recommend this tour as you are seeing most of the same things as you would on the train tour for less money.

Shortly after departing, our van had mechanical problems forcing us to return to base. Owner provided us with a bigger van. Our guide, Brian, was great from start to finish. He was very interesting, knowledgeable and provided many amusing anecdotes & historical facts! The scenery was breathtaking..one scene more beautiful than the last. The museum we stopped at for lunch provided a good meal. After lunch we toured the grounds. The wildlife museum was exceptional!!! We also enjoyed interacting with the Husky puppies, watching the adult dogs being trained & seeing the alpacas & feeding the goats! Brian was also kind enough to take our pictures at every stop! We very much appreciated him doing so as we have picture perfect memories of this fantastic outing!
