Bridge, Puppies, and Summit TRIPLE Combo!
What your day looks like
You WILL be leaving the United States and entering Canada on this bus tour. Follow in the footsteps of the 1898 Gold Rush stampeders up the White Pass and into the Yukon! Start your adventure by traveling up the Klondike Highway by bus while you take in wildlife, waterfalls, glacier-covered mountains & views of the White Pass Railroad. Once into Canada (Province of British Columbia aka B.C.) you'll pass through the subarctic alpine tundra of the Tormented Valley, with views of Summit Lake. You'll continue through B.C. where you'll stop at Canada Customs at Fraser B.C, and the Yukon Territory. Photo opportunities will be available at the British Columbia and Yukon signs. Our featured stop is the Yukon Suspension Bridge, located in the remote British Columbia wilderness. This 200-foot-long bridge traverses the Tutshi River where you'll be able to spot a number of animals in their natural habitat. The roaring rapids below provide an amazing backdrop for photos & memories while on your Alaskan vacation. The Outdoor Interpretive Museum provides maps & guides to give you a better understanding of the region between Skagway & Whitehorse, with information on the First Nations & the stories of the Gold Rush as this part of the continent was settled. The 2nd stop is the Tutshi Lake Dog Sledding Camp. Here, you'll get a glimpse into the history of sled dog use throughout Canada and Alaska. You'll get to see the dogs in action and play with puppies. You'll also get to meet real-life trainers & mushers! There is a gift shop for snacks and souvenirs to take home as a way to remember this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Please note, that cell phone service is not available once we leave Skagway. Restrooms are primitive in remote Canada, so plan accordingly!

What travelers are saying
Pam was the BEST tour guide!!!!! So hospitable and had so many wonderful stories! Pam had a fantastic sense of humor and squeezed in extra stops for gorgeous pictures!!
We had a group of 23 who signed up for this tour. It turned out to be enjoyable for all ages (7-72). We had to deal with the tour group directly to make a few requests and they did awesome. We especially appreciated being all on one tour bus. The Dog/Puppies was the only stop that had limitations since the puppies were all sleeping so that meant very little interaction with them. The bridge was a lot of fun for our group and the scenic route was wonderful. The lunch stop was at the Expansion Bridge area and they had wonderful chili along with other quick grab foods. You absolutely have to have a passport to participate.
Out tour guide was fantastic, loved his stories. I would definitely recommend this tour. I would have loved for it to have been more interactive with the sled dogs and seeing a demo but, the views and playing with puppies made up for that. We really enjoyed the suspension bridge and the views from that stop. This tour provided fantastic views great for pics . Make sure you try the bison chili too
Driver was friendly and entertaining. Tour stopped in the beautiful places to take pictures and enjoy the serene landscapes.
We had an amazing tour guide Trey. He was very knowledgeable. I would take this tour again when visiting Alaska.
Our trip was awesome and by far the best value of all the tours we found in Skagway! Will did an outstanding job of making sure that even on a foggy day we still saw many cool things and got the best views at the most opportune times!
The food tour with Erik was great! Our group had the best time!
Great Tour!
