Tour Overview

Our journey begins with a historic city tour of Skagway, here you will see what life was like during the days of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush and how it has evolved to present-day Skagway. Your guide will provide historic commentary as you make your way through town and onto the Klondike Highway. Enjoy breathtaking views as we make our way to the summit, the highway is filled with larger-than-life waterfalls, glaciers, and wildflower-covered valleys. Photo opportunities will be available throughout the tour including a stop at the Welcome to Alaska sign.

Photos from the Tour

A brown and white puppy lies on its back, with its head resting on a wooden beam, and one front paw playfully raised in the air. Its tongue is slightly sticking out. Another brown puppy stands over it, looking down. They are in an outdoor enclosure with a chain-link fence in the background and a metal bucket to the left.
A large, dark brown moose stands in a forest, looking towards the viewer. Its fur appears thick and somewhat shaggy. Trees with green foliage and bare branches surround the animal.

The interior of an empty tour bus shows rows of grey seats with blue patterns on the backrests. Large windows line both sides, revealing a scenic view of a body of water with a shoreline on the left and trees on the right. The ceiling is light-colored and reflective, casting reflections of the seats.
