This was a 150 mile ride into the Yukon Territory. While the scenery was nice and the driver/tour guide, Clay, did a great job it wasn’t worth going on. The dog sled was misleading. There were 16 dogs chained up. They wanted $50 pp to ride them pulling a truck. Definitely not worth the money or time. There are better tours in Skagway
The views are amazing....

Scenic bus drive through the mountains. We loved the view from Emerald Lake. We saw two bears and some goats high up in the mountains. The kennel was fun for the kids. We debated the mush sled but didn’t feel like it was worth the money. The best part of the experience was our driver Tim who had hilarious stories and anecdotes. He also doubled as our professional photographer to find us the best places to capture the best angles. Would recommend the experience to other large families.

This excursion was the best way to explore the area around Skagway. The bus was comfortable and our driver friendly and funny. We saw everything we were promised plus a black bear and were still back in time to explore Skagway.
The highlight of our cruise excursions

This tour was the highlight of all of our shore excursions during our Alaska cruise. A smaller shuttle with only 10-12 people gave a very personal experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw everything we hoped for including a curious grizzly bear on our way to the Yukon.
