Don't miss this amazing opportunity to see some of the most beautiful scenery that our area has to offer! Your train journey will be aboard a passenger parlor car on the famous White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. You will be entertained with narrated commentary so as not to miss out on all of the historic points of interest along the Trail of 98.

The mini-bus portion of this excursion is not to be missed as your experienced tour guide entertains you while you travel on the Klondike Highway making stops along the way so that guests can take in the natural beauty of our area and have ample opportunities for those memorable photos.

We also stop at Wild Adventure Yukon where a BBQ chicken lunch with coleslaw, baked potato, homemade roll and all-you-can-eat cake donuts awaits you as well as “FREE ADMISSION” to the Yukon Wildlife Museum, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Museum and the Puppy Camp! Dogcart rides can be purchased separately upon arrival at the lunch facility if seating is still available. 

Upon your return to Skagway you will be entertained by professional guides with their amusing stories of local lore and captivating tales of the Gold Rush Era. Complimentary drop off service is provided in town or at the cruise ship docks upon the conclusion of your tour.

This tour operates in reverse order with a bus first option on certain days of the week.
