Overview

Enjoy the classic Skagway tour!

Our tour will take you down Broadway, Skagway's historic main street, and we'll point out various points of interest and photo stops. As we leave Skagway, we'll climb over 3,500 feet in elevation up to the summit, where Gold Rushers had to hand-carry all their gear on their way into Canada - except you'll do it from a heated bus.

Our tour will pick up all guests and get you back in time for your ship.

Sights along the way:
- Brackets Toll road
- Pitchfork Falls
- Bridal Veil Falls
- Moore Bridge Overlook
- Welcome to Alaska sign
- Travel to the White Pass Summit
- International Falls
- Tormented Valley
- Skagway town overlook
- Drop off in town or at your ship

Our tour will have 5 to 6 photo stops along the route and we will slow down for the others. Time at stops may vary and are weather dependent. Tour is 2.5 hours in length.

What's Included

  • Land tour via van or touring bus with multiple scenic stops
  • Highlights of Skagway and the Klondike Highway

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

Arrive 15 minutes before your tour start time at the bus loading area for your dock’s designated meeting point. Late arrivals may not be accommodated, and no refunds will be issued. Your cruise ship will dock at one of three locations near the Skagway Cruise Terminal: Ore Dock, Broadway Dock, or Railroad Dock. Exit your ship and stay close to the bus loading area. Do not wander far or use navigation apps like Google Maps, as they may misdirect you away from the meeting point. 15 minutes before your tour, find the Skagway Tours representative holding a red “Skagway Tours” sign at your dock’s bus loading area. This tour crosses the USA-Canada border twice, requiring PASSPORTS for all travelers (plus visas if your country requires a Canadian or USA visa). USA/Canadian citizens may use a government-issued photo ID with an original birth certificate instead of a passport. Photocopies are not accepted, and guests without proper documentation will be denied participation with no refunds. IMPORTANT: Cruise line staff may incorrectly say passports are not needed in Skagway, AK. You MUST bring your passport or valid ID/birth certificate due to the border crossing.
