All of these tours are locally owned and operated. Your timely return to your cruise ship is guaranteed, so don’t let anyone tell you any different. Be sure to bring your passport as most of these tours travel to Canada.
Tour #1 – City & Summit Tour – This popular 2 ½ hour Skagway discount tour has been around since the early days. It’s pretty self-explanatory. You will ride on a comfortable bus with large windows so you don’t miss any of the amazing scenery. The city portion of the tour includes stops at the Gold Rush Cemetery and the Scenic Skagway Overlook. You will also travel to the White Pass Summit, which is 3,400 feet above sea level. The views are amazing. Other highlights include multiple waterfalls, amazing vistas, and an opportunity to spot wildlife.
Tour #2 – The Yukoner – This 3 ½ hour tour takes you over the White Pass Summit and all the way into the Yukon Territory about 55 miles north of Skagway. The scenery is breathtaking. You’ll be traveling over the Klondike Highway, which is considered one of the top 5 most scenic routes in the world. Other highlights of this Skagway discount tour are mining ruins from the Klondike Gold Rush, glacier views, and an excellent chance to spot a bear. Also, keep an eye out for Bigfoot!
Tour #3 – Private Group Tour – You may be surprised that booking a private tour can save you a lot of money. As locals, we work a number of other locals who operate small businesses. They own one bus and they like to keep things simple. This translates into low prices, especially if you have your own group. These Skagway discount tours are especially appealing because your tour guide knows their stuff, loves their Skagway home, and will customize your tour in whatever way you like. Have you ever wanted to eat lunch on a desolate mountain while overlooking a massive glacial lake? Well, this is your chance!
Tour #4 – Glacier Discovery by Helicopter – You may not think of a helicopter tour as being cheap, but we guarantee the best price on all helicopter tours. This 2-hour tour features 40 minutes of flight time and 40 minutes walking on a pristine glacier. It’s the thing you’ll remember most from your Alaska vacation. If you want to get the best price on this Skagway discount tour, simply give us a call.
Tour #5 – The White Pass & Yukon Route – The Skagway train tour is the most popular land-based tour in Alaska. It’s considered a do-not-miss experience for many people.
