    What you'll see and do

    1. Yukon Suspension Bridge

      This tour covers downtown Skagway and the Klondike Gold Rush National Park, then heads up over the Historic White Pass. En route, we will see many waterfalls, stunning peaks, and moon-like sub-alpine vistas above the timberline. We first enter British Columbia, and pass through Canada Customs at Fraser BC. Beyond Fraser, we enter a different climate zone, with less rainfall and it’s often blue and sunny when Skagway stays overcast. I’m really good at spotting goats, with a 99% success rate, I know where they are, and only low clouds rarely obscure the view. We pass beautiful, enormous Lake Tutshi We will go at least as far as the Yukon/British Columbia border for a photo stop. On our return, we visit the Yukon Suspension Bridge (admission included). The bridge spans the amazing Tutshi River. The Bridge is not scary, it's short and very stable. The cafeteria serves Bison Chili, made fresh every day. Returning to Skagway, we visit Bridal Veil Falls on White Pass.

    An Amazing Trip to the Yukon Border

    I had an amazing trip with Tom to the Yukon in May 2026. I was the only passenger in the van and it was well worth the price. Tom has a wealth of knowledge about the area (history, ecology, etc.) He would take out his scope at various locations and we would view mountain goats as if they were right next to us instead of up high on the mountain. Tom is a professional photograph and assisted me in taking beautiful pictures In Carcross we stopped for some shopping and I was able to get some unique Christmas presents. This was my 4th trip to Alaska and my 3rd private tour. This was by far the best of the three. It was very much catered to what I wanted to do. I highly recommend this excursion.

    Great experience.

    Tom was great. Easygoing conversation. Local knowledge. Right amount of stops for pictures. Really loved the stop at the suspension bridge and appreciates how much time we had there. Had 7 adults plus him in his minivan and it worked. Obviously a little tight with all of us which we expected, but not uncomfortable.

    An AMAZING personalized tour!

    This tour is an absolute delight for so many reasons! Tom Pickerel, the tour guide, is the consummate professional in helping his guests have the optimal experience. For starters, he communicated with me directly when I first booked the trip, and anytime I had a question before the tour, he got back to me quickly. Then, on the day of the trip, when we had made arrangements to meet at the ship dock, we got there early and decided to walk into Skagway, and he picked us up closer to town after we texted him our location. His large and comfortable SUV made it easy to see everything exceptionally well. Tom makes it clear from the outset that he is a very flexible tour guide; he was willing to stop wherever and whenever we saw something that we wanted to take a closer look at. As a resident of Skagway, he has a unique perspective on the town and the surrounding areas. In fact, he was well known at every stop we made on our journey. Tom provided a nice overview of Skagway and relayed interesting facts about the town. Once we got out of town and headed towards Yukon Territory, he was a fount of information about the area and what it is like to live there. The trip includes admission to the Yukon Suspension Bridge, a wonderful park in British Columbia that spans the Tutshi River. Tom allowed us to take as much time as we wanted to explore all parts of the park, which has incredible views and very interesting displays. (Try the bison chili in the restaurant; it's delicious.) After leaving the park, be continued heading north into the Yukon Territory, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking! Tom had interesting tales to tell about the gold rush era in the area, and he pointed out the sites of old mines. We went as far north into Yukon Territory to the charming town of Carcross, and we had plenty of time to wander around the shops and kiosks there. The return trip to Skagway follows the same route, but I saw things from a different perspective on the way back, which included stops at a lovely waterfall and two mountain glaciers. Throughout the entire journey, Tom was a amiable host with a very gracious personality that made me feel like I was hanging out with a friend for the day. The personalized approach that Tom took by letting us dictate the pace really made it a special day. This tour was THE highlight of our trip to Alaska!

    Perfect Scenery

    Amazing tour! The sceneries absolutely gorgeous! We had plenty of time in a small group setting to enjoy every minute of it. Tom kept us away from the crowds and took us of the beaten path on a few stops. Highly recommend this tour!

    5 Hour Tour to the Yukon Border with Suspension Bridge: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Skagway.

    How much does 5 Hour Tour to the Yukon Border with Suspension Bridge cost?

    +

    Prices start at $925 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Skagway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 5 Hour Tour to the Yukon Border with Suspension Bridge take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Skagway is not rushed.

    Is 5 Hour Tour to the Yukon Border with Suspension Bridge worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Skagway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Hour Tour to the Yukon Border with Suspension Bridge?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 5 Hour Tour to the Yukon Border with Suspension Bridge suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 5 Hour Tour to the Yukon Border with Suspension Bridge?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Skagway can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Skagway and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 5 Hour Tour to the Yukon Border with Suspension Bridge start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Skagway within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Skagway?

    +

    Skagway is a Klondike Gold Rush town built for excursions: White Pass and Yukon Route rail trips, Yukon border drives, glacier flights, dog sledding on ice fields and gold panning. On Outty we rank every Skagway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon, Skagway City and Summit Tour, Skagway Shore Excursion: Half-Day Tour to the Yukon Border and Suspension Bridge. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Skagway?

    +

    May to September, the cruise season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Skagway?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
