5.00We had an amazing hiking adventure in Skagway! Scotty and Erin were outstanding guides—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The hike was actually challenging, which we appreciated, and the reward at the end was absolutely worth it. The scenery was incredible, and the guides did a great job keeping everyone engaged and motivated along the way. If you’re looking for a real hiking experience and not just a casual walk, this is it. Highly recommend Scotty and Erin for an unforgettable Skagway adventure!

5.00This was the BEST hike ever. Our guides, Colorado Caden & Sgagway Scotty, were a hoot! They were experienced and knowledgeable, and so entertaining at the same time! The hike was a challenge but well worth the views! I would do this hike everyday if I could! Highly recommended! Christine from Las Vegas
So much fun hiking with the best guides ever (Caden & Scotty)

5.00This hike checked every box. Exciting ✅ Beautiful ✅ Gnarly✅. It helped that we had a great group and amazing guides Scotty and Caden. If you are able, I think the best way to experience Skagway is up in the mountains. Dress appropriately. Make sure you are layered, and wear hiking shoes/boots.

5.00Top notch experience with Kevin Williams and his trusty apprentice Oliver. These guys were great - friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable of the area and history. A moderately demanding hike, a wonderful leisurely rafting adventure and a scenic drive with spectacular views and plenty of photo opportunities. We saw eagles and beavers. Very cool. Don’t miss this one.

5.00Great hike with Ben! Tough hike for sure, lots of steep uphill climb, but the views were worth it and our guide Ben was great taking us through it all. And on the way back we made a stop to a viewpoint of the whole city. Pickup was easy met right at the ship and dropped us off in downtown so we could walk around and explore. Great tour!
