What to expect and what not to expect with this Skagway shore excursion
This unique Skagway private tour begins with pick-up from whatever location best suits your group. Then your personal coach will head off to the 67-mile White Pass Route, a stunning byway that follows alongside the historic Yukon Railroad, for a day of intensely stunning sightseeing! History buffs rejoice: your coach will be following the very same route taken by hopeful Klondike gold-seekers in 1898! Your local guide will be on-deck to answer your questions as you stop off at Emerald Lake, the Southern Lakes region, or any other sites you have on the bucket list. Then, of course, for your visit to a real Alaskan mushers’ camp! You’ll get to play with the husky athletes (and their puppies!), take a rainforest ride on a custom wheeled dogsled, and hear edge-of-your-seat adventure tales from seasoned Iditarod mushers!

We hired a car for a six hour tour into the Yukon Territory. Our tour guide, Max, was a wonderful young man who was from Skagway. Max had a very good understanding of the area and showed us everything. We did not see wildlife but the scenery was spectacular. I would recommend this for anyone visiting Skagway. If you can get Max as your tour guide you will have a wonderful experience.
We so enjoyed our private tour with Max. He was hospitable, friendly, flexible and informative. We felt he went out of his way to be accommodating to our desires and offered suggestions that were helpful. We hope others will secure his services.
Max was an AWESOME tour guide!! He took our entire family on a private 4hour tour - we wanted to take our time and not be on a set schedule. This tour was perfect! Not only did we have great weather, but Max and his stories were so much fun! Plus - he is a great photographer with a lot of patience (he had to deal with 8 or 9 cameras at several stops!)
We had such a super day with our tour guide. We explored and saw well beyond what we thought we would. The highlight was the bear and cubs along the side of the road. Thanks for a great day!
