Skagway Dogsled Excursion
We came to Alaska looking very forward to this dog-sledding adventure, only to find out we would not be getting a dog-sled ride at all. The bus tour, with our guide, Kenton, was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable and personable. But, when we got to the dogs, we were told they wouldn't be running that day. We were instead driven around a small track in an open air vehicle (basically a Jeep Wrangler). The entire trail was less than a mile. A complete disappointment. If you're just looking for a nice bus tour, then I would recommend (ask for Kenton; he's great), but if you're actually looking for a dog-sledding excursion, don't pick this one.

Beautiful
We went on an amazing excursion to see the Yukon, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to so many beautiful places along the way. We learned a lot, saw some breathtaking scenery, and truly enjoyed every moment of the adventure. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Andrew, took...
Our guide, Andrew, took about 25 of us on a bouncy and noisy bus ride from Scagway to the mountains and stunning lakes of the the Yukon. The commentary, information and scenery more than made up for the bumps and thumps on the bus. The stops were just the right amount--time for viewing and pictures but not lingering. The stop for the dog-sledding was perfect for the kids (8-13 yrs) with the petting zoo and museum more popular than the actual dog-sled/ATV ride. Lunch was so-so but the donuts were fabulous! Can't wait to look at my photos!

Dogs and views
I love dogs and I loved hearing the trainers speak about how they work with the sled dogs. The trip up the mountain was beautiful and I think better than the train bc our guide stopped and let us take pictures. The only think I would say that wasn’t “awesome” was the lunch,..not great, but I wasn’t mad about it

This is not a train ride.
This is not a train ride. Nowhere do they say it’s a van ride. In fact they are careful to use every description except van. They use words like “transportation”. The van holds 30 people and is a rattle trap. Can’t hear the guide/driver and he drives very fast on very rough roads. They even use the exact same title as the train ride except the world train.
Response from the operator: We are sorry you were not happy with your tour and you expected a train ride. However, I have copied this directly from the description of the tour: What's included Professional Driver/guide Live commentary on board Buses can accommodate up to 32 people, with public address system for easy... The train does not offer this tour and the title is not anywhere near the same as the train ride.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Skagway Shore Excursion: Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Skagway.
How much does Skagway Shore Excursion: Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $229 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: Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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: Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 102 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 Skagway Shore Excursion: Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour?
+
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: Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Skagway Shore Excursion: Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 36 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Skagway Shore Excursion: Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour 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.
