What you can expect

Discover the Best of Skagway on a small-group tour led by a local guide. Combining Gold Rush history, mountain scenery, waterfalls, and unforgettable viewpoints, this experience showcases the landscapes, stories, and local character that make Skagway one of Alaska's most remarkable destinations.

Begin with sweeping views above town, where Skagway's harbour, cruise ships, and surrounding mountains provide the perfect introduction to this historic gateway to the Yukon. From there, travel the legendary Klondike Highway towards White Pass, following the route once used by stampeders during the Klondike Gold Rush.

As the road climbs into the mountains, the scenery transforms into rugged alpine wilderness filled with dramatic peaks, glacier-carved valleys, waterfalls, and countless photo opportunities. Along the way, your guide shares stories of Skagway's colourful past, local life in Southeast Alaska, and the challenges faced by those who crossed these mountains in search of gold.

Visit the historic Gold Rush Cemetery, where frontier legends and infamous characters help bring Skagway's boomtown era to life. Then enjoy a short walk through coastal rainforest to Reid Falls, one of Skagway's most beautiful waterfalls, cascading down a steep granite cliff.

The experience concludes with a narrated drive through historic city centre Skagway, featuring notable landmarks, historic buildings, and insights into the town's past and present.

Perfect for travellers looking for a relaxed and informative Alaska excursion, this tour combines history, scenery, wildlife opportunities, and local insight in a comfortable small-group setting. Whether it's your first visit to Skagway or your fifth, you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for this extraordinary corner of Alaska.
