Don’t miss it!
An amazing day out and a superb guide: Connor was friendly, efficient, knowledgable and witty. Comfortable bus with lots of scenic stops along the way. Good value for money. Our favourite excursion during our Alaskan cruise. Would highly recommend.

Highly Recommend.
Narration was excellent. Our driver/guide was extremely knowledgeable and we even saw a caribou up close (a rare sighting). This excursion was the highlight of our Alaskan cruise. It was a beautiful day.

Awesome tour
This excursion was a great way to see a lot of the Alaskan/Yukon territory. Lots of beautiful scenery. Our tour guide Mike was absolutely amazing. So knowledgeable about the area, easy to listen to, and super funny. He made the trip worth every penny!

Breathtaking Views and an Exceptional Guide
We absolutely loved this excursion and do not regret for a second choosing the van tour instead of the train. Traveling in a small group made the experience much more enjoyable and personal, with numerous stops along the way and breathtaking views at every turn. The stops were perfectly timed: long enough to take beautiful photos and enjoy the scenery without ever feeling rushed, but not so long that we felt we were wasting time. The whole journey was incredibly scenic and well paced. Connor was exceptional. He shared so much about Skagway’s history, local stories, wildlife, nature, and the area in general. His knowledge and enthusiasm really brought the experience to life. Emerald Lake was definitely one of the highlights, absolutely magical and one of the most beautiful places we saw during the excursion! The lunch was honestly not the highlight of the day, but it was a minor point compared with everything else. Overall, we were extremely happy with our choice and would absolutely recommend this tour. We also really appreciated being dropped off downtown on the way back, just a short distance from the ship. It gave us plenty of time to explore the shops and walk around Skagway before returning to the boat. A wonderful experience, beautiful scenery, and an exceptional guide. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 93
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Skagway.
How much does Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon cost?
+
Prices start at $173 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 Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 874 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Skagway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon?
+
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 Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon?
+
Around 306 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon 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 City and Summit Tour, Skagway Shore Excursion: Half-Day Tour to the Yukon Border and Suspension Bridge, Skagway Shore Excursion Chilkoot Trail Hike and Float Tour. 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.
