Skagway-Carcross Shuttle Experience - We had a lovely day exploring Skagway and sightseeing all the way to Carcross in Canada. Chad was a great driver and leader of our excursion making the whole experience fun and safe! The dogsledding was ok, not super awesome.

Book with confidence for a great tour! - What an awesome experience with this tour company! Our driver Chad took care of us like we were royalty! We were picked up from our ship and taken into the center of Skagway to prep for our day! Then we were guided through some great sites of the Yukon along with a delicious lunch and a dog mushing experience! All the while we were attended to with utmost care! Sadly the weather was rainy and foggy but Chad was like a First Nations guide finding the spots to get the best views despite the poor conditions. He also managed to get us to the best spots before the rest of the tourists descended on those locations allowing for some private access to things! His safe driving through awful weather made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Really can't say enough about this tour company!

A must do tour! - The best tour we did in Alaska! We stopped in Skagway and did the Yukon Discovery and Sled dog tour. Kenton was our guide and trust me when I say, if you get the privilege to ride on his bus you will have the best day ever. My husband and I laughed so hard we had tears. His "dad jokes" and stories are hilarious. But he also makes sure to go out of his way to get you in front of the wildlife you want to see. We saw several bears and truly enjoyed it all. This is a must do in Skagway!

A scenic drive, a good guide, and puppies! - My 15-year-old daughter and I took the tour from Skagway. We walked from the port to the little village of Skagway, which is charming and seemed like a scene from a movie. Rebekah was our coach driver for the 90 minute ride and she was very entertaining in her stories about the gold rush and the scenery. We learned a lot! We then went to see Sled dogs. We got to cuddle the puppies and ride behind a sled. They also served a barbecue lunch. I recommend the tour!

Fun Musher camp - The puppies were the favorite but the ride was fun too and the food delicious. We didn’t have time to go into the little museum. I would have liked to do that.

Not enough time - It was enjoyable, views were mostly covered in clouds which I realise is uncontrollable. There was not enough time in an hour to eat, do the dog mushing, see the few puppies available, see the museum and have a chance to check out the shops. However everyone we encountered was kind, knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing views - Beautiful views! The pictures and sights were incredible! We loved being able to see so many things and it was nice to be driven around. Pick up was super easy at the dock and being dropped off in town. Our driver was not great, but it was still worth the experience for the amazing views. The stop for lunch and dogs are great. My son loved the dog sled ride.

STAY AWAY!!!! - When we were looking for dog SLEDDING excursion in Alaska I
Was not expecting to have to
Ride 4 hours there and back and for the 5 minute ride on a 3 mile dirt road on a DUNE BUGGY attached to 6 wild dogs in the front, dogs looked exhausted and overworked and sad, very underwhelming and disappointing experience for $300 per person. Would not recommend 😕
