Tour Overview

Alaska cruises are a magical way to experience Alaska & Canada with port stops full of history & culture. One of the most requested tours is our full day road trip up the Klondike Highway into Carcross, Yukon where guests will get to visit Wild Adventure Yukon (formerly Caribou Crossing) and Emerald Lake. This tour also includes our City/Summit Tour where you’ll get to see all of Skagway’s historical sites & scenic overlooks.

This full day tour includes our Skagway City & Summit Tour, with stops and scenic overlooks along the Klondike Highway and into British Columbia’s Tormented Valley, Wild Adventure Yukon (in Carcross), the Carcross Desert, Emerald Lake, Bove Island overlook, a remote beach at Tagish Lake, White Pass Summit, and the Welcome to Alaska & Yukon signs.

While at Wild Adventure Yukon, you’ll be able to explore the grounds at this exciting & fun stop!

– Petting Farm: Get up close and personal with an array of different farm animals. These docile creatures love the attention and kids will be thrilled with the chance to hand-feed the variety of animals!

– Wildlife Gallery: Take a humbling stroll among the creatures of Yukon’s past and present that include steppe bison, a record polar bear, monster moose and wooly mammoth.

– Meet the puppies & dogs of the Yukon: When our sled dog breeding program is taking a break, we work with the Whitehorse Humane Society to assist with fostering puppies as they wait for the “fur-ever” home. This allows for incredible social opportunities for the pups before being adopted and a wonderful guest experience as well!

– Family style BBQ lunch: Homestyle BBQ chicken prepared fresh daily, roasted potatoes, homemade coleslaw, and Granny’s famous homemade donuts, with rolls, butter, coffee and tea. Soda, Yukon Craft Beer, Cidar and Wine available for purchase.

– Gift Shop: Find that unique and authentic Yukon gift or art piece! Browse our extensive collection of local, Yukon-made art and of course our Yukon plaid theme.

For Additional Fun (and fee):

– Dog Cart Rides: Join the Wild Adventure Yukon team by riding in one of our unique, specially designed 12 passenger motorized training carts! You will experience a thrilling glimpse into team dynamics, social order, and the dog’s passion for running. Pricing starts at $36 per person.

– Gold Panning: Relive the past with the Klondike Gold Experience as our experienced guides recount the history of the Chilkoot Trail and Klondike Gold Rush as they help to show you proper panning techniques. You keep any gold you find! Pricing is $16 per person.

You’ll have plenty of time at Wild Adventure Yukon and have an amazing experience while in Skagway!

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!
