Tour Overview

A very popular tour, this excursion starts up the Klondike Highway, climbing nearly 3,500 feet thru the White Pass and into Canada and the Tormented Valley- to the remote Yukon Suspension Bridge.  This attraction offers amazing vistas over the Tutshi River with a bridge connecting both sides, along with plenty of informational signs and displays scattered throughout.  The bridge has a gift shop, coffee shop/cafe, and restrooms for its guests.  We highly recommend trying out the bison chili!

This half day tour includes our Skagway City & Summit Tour, with stops and scenic overlooks along the Klondike  Highway and into British Columbia’s Tormented Valley, and finally Tagish Lake for a stop at our main destination: The Yukon Suspension Bridge.

Our tour times are coordinated with ship times.  Our team double checks all bookings to ensure you will return to Skagway before your all-aboard!

The Excursion

Bus departure and return times are subject to change based on weather, unforeseen changes to cruise line schedules, or road delays. Be sure to ask your driver for exact times on the day of travel and plan accordingly.

Where is the drop-off?

The drop-off location is the same as the pickup location, unless you chose to get off at Centennial Park, located at 1st & Broadway.  This stop is about a 5 to 10 minute walk to all berths.  

Note: it is important that you provide our staff with the name of your ship/line so that we can ensure you are booked on the correct tour & times; most of our tours are scheduled around ships times and make sure all tours have returned to Skagway at least 1 hour prior to all-aboard time.   If we notice a possible time conflict, one of our team members will contact you and suggest a new time, tour, or refund.

What should I bring?

The weather in Skagway is often cool & wet (we live in a rainforest.) while the Yukon is dryer and a bit cooler than Skagway (1o to 15* F colder). Bring your passport, layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, a camera and/or video camera, and comfortable shoes.   

Passports ARE required for non-US/Canadian residents.  US & Canadian residents must have an original birth certificate, Nexus card, or any approved WHTI document to enter Canada (and re-enter the US). 

… and if you think your driver-guide did a fantastic job, tips are always appreciated!
