About this experience
Cross into the Yukon on a small-group tour from Skagway, traveling the stunning White Pass with a locally owned, owner-operated experience led by a charming year-round resident guide. Enjoy a more personal, flexible approach you won’t find on larger bus tours.
Walk across the Yukon Suspension Bridge and take in sweeping alpine views, rushing rivers, and historic Gold Rush routes along the way. With fewer guests, you’ll have time to explore, ask questions, and truly enjoy each stop.
After the tour, choose to explore Skagway at your own pace or return directly to your ship.

Itinerary and highlights
Drive through historic downtown Skagway along Broadway, lined with Gold Rush-era buildings, shops, and stories from the Klondike era.
Get a comprehensive overview of Skagway as you travel through downtown, residential areas, and key local landmarks. See the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway yard, Skagway River, City Hall, and everyday life beyond the tourist center.
Enjoy views up the White Pass from a bridge over the Skagway River, where the Klondike Highway winds through dramatic mountain scenery.
Rising dramatically nearly 2,000 feet down the mountainside, Pitchfork Falls is one of the most striking waterfalls along the Klondike Highway. It cascades toward the Skagway River and passes beneath the historic bridge.
Tucked into the remote backcountry along the Klondike Highway, the Yukon Suspension Bridge is one of those places that really makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the North. Suspended high above the rushing Tutshi River, over the Tormented Valley, the bridge offers incredible views in every direction. You’ll have time to walk across, take photos, and explore the trails while learning a bit about the landscape and history that shaped this region.
The iconic “Welcome to Alaska” sign is a classic photo stop. Surrounded by mountain scenery, it’s a memorable moment to step out, take a photo, and officially mark your entry into Alaska.
As we return to Skagway, you’ll have the option to be dropped off either in the heart of downtown or back at your ship. Many guests choose to spend some extra time exploring the historic streets, browsing local shops, or grabbing a bite before heading back onboard.
