Enjoy a private tour “Beyond Skagway”.

Tours include one of the family as driver/ guide and a SUV or mini-van.

 
We cater to small groups in our six passenger SUV and our 5 passenger mini-vans.
 
Our vehicles are equipped with AC (sometimes it gets warm enough to use it!), and heat.  We include a booster or car seat (ranging from infant to 45 lbs, forward and rear facing), if needed. We carry binoculars to check out the landscapes, and bottled water. We are fully licensed and insured, and will pick you up and drop you off at your ship or in town.
 
Tours cost $120 an hour (not per person, but per vehicle), which includes tax.  Read tour descriptions below, to see what you’d like best.
 
We will follow the Klondike Highway, driving north to the US/Canadian Border, paralleling the 1898 Gold Rush Trail. Once in Canada, we’ll journey through spectacular scenery of dramatic lakes encircled by mile-high mountains and the Northern Boreal forest wilderness.
 
We’ll watch for wildlife, including bear, moose, caribou, Dall Sheep and mountain goats along our route, stopping for photos when we spot animals or a scenic view.  We will share our experiences of living in Alaska, stories of the 1898 Gold Rush and history of the areas we drive through.
 

Other options you may request, are a picnic at a lake,  lunch at a friendly cafe in Carcross, (on your dime), stopping more or less often for photos,  (for example, if the kids are napping, we can keep driving, so they don’t wake up), a scavenger hunt, GeoCaching, building an inukshuk, renewing your wedding vows or helping you plan a wedding. If you’d like to do something, ask us and we’ll try to make it happen!

TOUR OPTIONS:

3 Hours  $360 per vehicle, tax included
Travel the Klondike Highway to the top of the White Pass Summit, the Alaska sign, and beyond to alpine vistas, climbing approximately 3,292 feet in 15 miles. This includes scenic photo stops, a chance to build an Inukshuk, a city tour, and a visit to the Gold Rush Cemetery.

4 Hours  $480 per vehicle, tax included   Continue past the Yukon Border, to Bove Island. This 110 mile round trip tour provides you a better chance of seeing wildlife than the 3 hour tour offers, as most bear sightings occur in the Yukon.

5 Hours  $600 per vehicle, tax included
-Go to Emerald Lake, 150 round trip miles, stopping at scenic photo and wildlife sightings, but not having time for lunch. You may purchase snacks in the town of Carcross and have time for the options mentioned in the shorter tour descriptions.
 
6 Hours  $720 per vehicle, tax included
-This 150 mile round trip to Carcross and Emerald Lake includes several photo and/or wildlife stops and gives you time to enjoy lunch.  During your six hour tour, you’d also have time for some of the options listed below, such as Caribou Crossing and the Carving Shed.
 

7 Hours $840 per vehicle, tax included
This tour length, gives you time for doing mostly all the listed options! It is our favorite length of time, for a tour to Emerald Lake and back.

*Some options for your day if you book a 6 or 7 hour tour, may include a visit at the Caribou Crossing Museum, to pet the puppies ($8 each extra),or take a cart ride behind a team of huskies (dog cart rides start at $37.75 for adults and $35.75 for kiddos). You may make a visit to the Yukon Suspension Bridge, or a tour at the Totem Pole Carving Shed in Carcross.

White’s Pass Train option. You reserve the train by calling 907-983-2217. It costs $82 each, in addition to our tour cost. It’s best if you book the afternoon train (2:45-4:30pm), from Fraser to Skagway.  We will take you on a tour to Emerald Lake, then take you to Fraser, to get on the train. Adding the train to your tour works best with a  6  or 7 hour tour!  If you prefer the 7 hour tour, book for a 7:30am departure, which is great because it gets us out of Skagway ahead of the big bus tours.  With the 6 hour tour, we’ll leave Skagway at 8:30am.  Ask us about other train combinations if the 2:45 train is already fully booked.
