Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival Whitehorse

Welcome to Canada‘s Yukon! Your tour guide will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel, where you will meet your fellow travellers. Your guide will run the group through a brief orientation. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Whitehorse)

Day 2: Whitehorse - Skagway

We’ll head south today along the Klondike Highway. Our route takes us past the smallest desert in the world and the extraordinary colours of Emerald Lake, to Carcross. From here you have the option of taking the historic railway route over White Pass to Skagway, or continuing along the Klondike highway to the same destination. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Skagway)

Day 3: Skagway - Haines

We’ll spend the morning exploring the Gold Rush boomtown of Skagway, learning a bit of its colourful history. We’ll then take the ferry to Haines, where we can also take a tour of the town and finish the day with a fine dinner. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Haines)

Day 4: Haines

Choose today between a short walk and time to relax and enjoy the woods, beaches, and trails around Haines, or a side trip to Juneau. Juneau is a three-hour ride by boat through the stunning glaciers and mountains of the Inside Passage, with frequent sightings of whales, sea lions, and otters. We’ll have some time to see Alaska’s capital city and the nearby Mendenhall Glacier before returning to Haines in the evening. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Haines)

Day 5: Haines - Haines Junction

We’ll head back across the border to Canada today. The Haines Road connects Haines, Alaska, and Haines Junction, Canada, and offers plenty of worthwhile stops along the way. This is a spectacular alpine wilderness, filled with roaring rivers and high mountains. Once we reach Haines Junction, we’ll take a short walk along the Dezadeash River. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Haines Junction)

Day 6: Haines Junction and Kluane National Park

We’ve planned a short walk in Kluane National Park today. This is one of the largest and finest of Canada’s great National Parks, with opportunities to see wildlife and unspoiled nature. Depending on the group, it’s possible to take a half-day to hike further into this park. We also have the option of a sightseeing flight through the interior of the park, to see the world’s largest non-polar icefields and Canada’s highest mountain. Though weather-dependent, this is a spectacular experience and an opportunity not to be missed. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Haines Junction)

Day 7: Haines Junction - Whitehorse

The morning of Day 7 provides a second chance for a sightseeing flight over Kluane, if the previous day’s weather did not permit (optional). After this, we’ll head east on the Alaska Highway to Whitehorse, stopping along the way at the “long ago peoples’ place”, a small First Nations camp. We’ll take a tour through this camp and learn about the historic and contemporary lives of the indigenous Southern Tutchone people. If time permits, we may also visit the Yukon Wildlife Preserve in the late afternoon, to meet some of Yukon’s wildlife and go on a pleasant walk through the forest (optional). (Overnight hotel accommodation in Whitehorse)

Day 8: Departure Whitehorse

Yukon’s capital city offers many possibilities for the final day of your tour, with local attractions including the world’s longest “fish ladder”, the Yukon Transportation Museum, as well as short trips to nearby attractions. It’s also a great place to rest and shop before your return trip. We will provide a transfer to the Whitehorse Airport or to connecting programs.
