About this experience
We are 100% Alaskan owned & operated - Our focus is on giving you an amazing experience in Skagway on your trip to The Yukon and British Columbia. Unlike the other attractions in Skagway, we stop along the way and explain what you are looking at and its history to Skagway, Alaska, and the Yukon. Along the way, we'll see plenty of valleys, rivers, waterfalls, and Alaskan wildlife. The tour will continue up the Klondike Highway to a remote sled dog camp in the Canadian tundra, where you'll get to play with sled dog puppies & meet their trainers & handlers. You won't be rushed or limited to play time here!
Our "Yukon Husky Puppy Playtime" and "Summer Sled Dog Remote Yukon Camp" tours offer nearly identical experiences, with the only difference being that the Summer Sled Dog tour includes an exciting ride on a summer sled dog cart pulled by our huskies, while the Yukon Husky Puppy Playtime tour does not feature the cart ride.
