5.00EPIC NORTH did a very professional job for all the activities I did with them (Whitehorse hop-on hop-off, Tour to Skagway, and Northern Lights). They respond promptly to messages and do their best to accommodate your needs. Kudos to James and his team. I strongly recommend them if you go to Whitehorse and want memorable experiences!
Fascinating day

5.00Just a fantastic trip, our guide Juan was extremely knowledgeable and tailored the experience to everything we were looking to see. We didn’t feel like we were “on a clock” to do things. We highly recommend.

5.00When the White Pass Yukon Route Railway train from Whitehorse to Skagway was cancelled for 2022, I needed alternative transportation options for my trip. I fortunately found the Skagway Explorer tour through Epic North.This trip takes you from Whitehorse to Skagway, making a number of interesting stops along the way (e.g. Emerald Lake, Forty Mile Rapids, Carcross, Carcross Desert and many more). The owner of Epic was always responsive to my emails. He agreed to pick me up from Skagway midway through the tour and bring me back to Whitehorse. If it wasn't for them, I may still be stranded in Alaska! Huge thanks to Yuya for being a great driver/tour guide. He is quite knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. Thanks again for bringing me back to Canada!
Long day mostly driving

3.00We had great weather but trip had no pre planning explained, we didn't know where we were stopping or for how long, guide was patient, knowledgeable but didn't say much about trip ay all. Drive destination was too long for a 10 hour day, only had one short hour in skagway. The trip is overpriced
Highly recommendable!

5.00Great experience with them! We needed to go from Whitehorse to Skagway to take the ferry and our driver Yuya made that possible. He was knowledgeable and friendly and made our trip very enjoyable. We even stopped at "Welcome to Alaska" sign! I'd recommend the shuttle service with Epic North 100%!
