    Beautiful Waterfalls! Great tour Guide!

    Ms. Pat was a great tour guide. We got to see quite a few waterfalls and she gave a lot of interesting information. We enjoyed our time with her and were able to see a lot of things that we wouldn't have had we not taken the tour.

    A beautiful scenic tour!

    This was a great tour. We were able to see a lot of sights and waterfalls with minimal walking. We would stop often for photo opportunities in different places. Our guide Pat was great. She was very informative the entire tour and was very accommodating with taking our pictures. A beautiful scenic tour! I would definitely recommend

    Very brief stops at each...

    Very brief stops at each waterfall for photos. The tour did go briefly into Canada so that was cool. The bridal veil and final stop was worth the trip. Tasting the glacier water was very cool as well! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun as well. Id give it a solid 7 out of 10.

    Informative and Picturesque

    This was an informative and picturesque experience. Our guide, Jody, was quite passionate about making the experience memorable. The entire gold rush story was explained in between the various stops. The viewings were right off the tour shuttle except the last one. The last stop was the cemetery and Lower Reid Falls. The short 5 minute hike to the falls is pretty easy depending how close you want to get to the falls. It is well worth the short walk.

    Skagway Waterfall Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Skagway Waterfall Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 Waterfall Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Waterfall Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 94 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 Waterfall 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 Waterfall Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Skagway Waterfall Tour?

    +

    Around 33 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Skagway Waterfall 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.

    What is included in Skagway Waterfall Tour?

    +

    Included: Passports Required; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Guide in person. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Skagway Waterfall Tour?

    +

    PASSPORTS REQUIRED FOR ALL DEPARTURES Please meet us at our office at 216 Broadway. Look for the Blue Sign with white letters that say Southeast Tours. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Skagway Waterfall Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Skagway Waterfall Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Skagway Waterfall Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Skagway Waterfall Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
