Highlights
- Skagway Alaska Downtown - Known as one of the most memorable Minivan tours on your cruise, this Skagway City and White Pass Summit adventure starts with a guided tour of Skagway’s Historic District.
Famous for being the toughest town on the planet during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-99.
- Pitchfork Falls - Enjoy some stunning waterfalls during your time on this tour, such as the Pitchfork Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Bridal Veil Falls are the trailhead for the “Valdez Goat Trail”, which is a section of the Trans Alaska Military Packtrain Trail, created during the Klondike Gold Rush.
- White Pass & Yukon Route Railway - The tour continues up the stunning views of the Klondike Highway, travelling parallel to the historic White Pass Trail for most of the tour, with its peak at a 3,292 foot summit.
The views of the glacier-carved valley include glaciers, stunning waterfalls, and some amazing mountain views. When you arrive at the summit, we descend through to the daunting Tormented Valley in British Columbia, Canada. It is this area that inspired the classic authors Robert Service and Jack London.
The Tormented Valley is an eco-tone; two separate ecosystems transform to become the other. After visiting this area of 300 to 400-year-old trees known as “Krummholz”, many of which are no taller than chest-high, you will return to Skagway.
During your Skagway excursion, various photo stops will be made to help you maximize your Alaskan experience.

Do this tour instead of the train! - The family had an amazing time exploring Alaska and the Yukon on this excursion. Worth every single penny and was a perfect day in Skagway. Do this tour, skip the train, this tour goes deeper into the wilderness without the crowds you will find on the train.

Tour with Historic Surroundings - Eric, our driver, was very knowledgeable on the past and kept us informed of the trip we were on as it related to past events. Great tour…

Buyer beware- they will... - Buyer beware- they will cancel without notice. We came in on a cruise ship and reserved this tour for 8:00 the first morning. We showed up at 8:00 and they claimed Viator messed up the booking, because lthey had no tour at that time. Turns out they didn’t have enough people sign up so they just canceled this one and booked us on a 2:30 tour ( no notice) . This seems to be a common practice for tours in cruise ship ports- if they don’t have enough people sign up, they cancel. If you want to be sure you get a tour, book through the ship. Both tours we booked through Viator were cancelled or delayed due to low bookings and there were at least 4 cruise ships in port at each stop.

A no shoe from tour operator - The directions were confusing. We waited at cruise terminal for over half hour and was not able to contact our tour operator, Wow A Tour. No one working there heard of them. We went to other tour operators (eg M&M) but had no help. I will be disputing any charge on my credit card

Wrong information - For the first time Viator dropped the ball on this excursion, the Viator agent gave me incorrect information on the phone stating Southeast Tours would send the tickets via Email. When we arrived at the pier, Sam, our tour guide from Southeast Tours told us that the voucher was our tickets & we needed to have our passports unfortunately the representative from Viator did not tell or send me any information needed for our excursion! Sam made several phone calls to the owner, Heath, both of them went above & beyond to make our excursion absolutely perfect! Truly the excursion they arranged for us was amazing, A huge "thank you" to Southeast Tours for making memories that our entire family will never forget.

Tour Guide was a No Show but no refund has been issued. Disappointed. - We unfortunately did not get to experience the tour because the tour guide did not show up. We were also not able to contact anyone from Viator because the numbers all lead to automated messages and we did not get called back even when we left messages. We are sorely disappointed. When trying to get a refund issued we also got automated messages from customer service and were not able to get a refund. To this day we have not been able to speak to anyone at Viator.
