Yukon Discovery Sightseeing Tour

Experience one of the finest tours in Skagway, offering a perfect blend of breathtaking landscapes and wildlife encounters. The Yukon Discovery is a guided, full-day adventure starting just outside the dock in Skagway, taking you into Canada’s Yukon Territory. Journey north in a comfortable mini-coach, ascending over 3,000 ft. to traverse the White Pass summit, crossing through British Columbia and entering the Yukon Territory. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as moose, caribou, sheep, and bears along the scenic Klondike Highway. The stop in Carcross, Yukon allows for a visit to a wildlife museum, a petting farm, and the chance to delight in the company of adorable husky puppies. Following lunch, continue to the stunning Emerald Lake, a sight so spectacular it may seem Photoshopped.

Interestingly, one of the highly recommended activities in Skagway isn't actually within Skagway itself! Yukon day trips are favored for providing a rare opportunity to hit the highway and explore the interior, unlike Juneau or Ketchikan where road access is limited. The local guide's narration enriches the journey with historical insights into the Klondike Gold Rush from over a century ago.

Carcross, with its local flair, offers a distinctive experience not found in the port towns, providing a glimpse into the remote and vast landscape. Concluding the day with a visit to Emerald Lake and the return journey to Skagway completes one of the most comprehensive and value-packed excursions in the area.

For an enhanced experience, consider upgrading to the Yukon Discovery and Sled Dog Tour. This option includes all the features of the standard tour plus a 30-minute Alaskan sled dog experience. Enjoy a ride on the trail and engage in a question and answer session with the local mushers.
