We are 100% Alaskan owned & operated - Our focus is on giving you an amazing experience in Skagway on your trip to The Yukon and British Columbia. Unlike the other attractions in Skagway, we stop along the way and explain what you are looking at and its history to Skagway, Alaska, and the Yukon. Along the way, we'll see plenty of valleys, rivers, waterfalls, and Alaskan wildlife. The tour will continue up the Klondike Highway to a remote sled dog camp in the Canadian tundra, where you'll get to play with sled dog puppies & meet their trainers & handlers. You won't be rushed or limited to play time here! Our "Yukon Husky Puppy Playtime" and "Summer Sled Dog Remote Yukon Camp" tours offer nearly identical experiences, with the only difference being that the Summer Sled Dog tour includes an exciting ride on a summer sled dog cart pulled by our huskies, while the Yukon Husky Puppy Playtime tour does not feature the cart ride.

    So much FUN with the Huskies !!!!

    just let the puppies come to YOU and make sure to break the treats in 1/3rds if a puppy is resting... don't pick them up... and lastly- the do have a tendency to "puppy bite" your hands in a playful way...real fast !!

    Puppies, puppies and more puppies!!!

    We had an amazing afternoon on this tour! Our guide, Grace, was great. Her stories about living in Alaska were one of the highlights. She also knew great places to stop for photos. The highlight was the puppies. They had 3 litters- 1 set of Alaskan huskies and 2 litters of foster puppies. About 15 puppies total. There was a small gift shop with some snacks. They accepted credit cards. Recommend bringing a little cash, you can buy treats from a jar 4 for $1.

    Puppies, puppies and more puppies!

    We had a great time on this tour. They had 3 litters of puppies, 1 litter of Alaskan huskies and 2 litters of foster puppies. Total of 15. There was a small gift shop with snacks and a few other things that takes credit cards. They also had a treat jar that you can buy dog treats 4 for $1 cash. This version of the trip does not include the ride on the cart pulled by the dogs - everyone else on our bus had booked that version. They all did that-we had more puppy time! We were still invited to listen to the talk about gear, training and the Iditarod. Our guide Grace was very good. We enjoyed her stories of life in Alaska. She also knew great places to stop for photos. We didn’t have any trouble finding the meeting point. The tour company sent detailed instructions.

    It was ok...wouldn't do it again

    For me, and my family (my husband, 12-year-old and 10-year-old daughters) we all agreed that this was just OK. I'm mainly talking about the "puppy play time". It was more like "watch puppies lay around and sleep" time. I absolutely LOVED the scenic drive up there and learning about Skagway. Our tour guide, Grace, was incredible! She stopped at all the scenic viewpoints and was super sweet and chatty (the right amount of chatty). I loved hearing about her own adventures with her own dog. But the puppy play time was absolutely not worth the money IMO. I was expecting more playing/interacting and less sleeping (from the puppies). I wouldn't pick this one again.

    Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 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 Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 177 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 Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit 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 Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour?

    +

    Around 62 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit 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 Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour?

    +

    Included: Admittance to the Tutshi Sled Dog Camp - and puppy play time!; Land tour via van or touring bus with multiple scenic stops; All Fees and Taxes; Tour guide and narration along the journey, including multiple photo stops; and Pickup & drop off at cruise ship docks. Not included: educational discussion or sled activity; Driver-Guide gratuities; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Skagway. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit 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 Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit 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 Yukon Husky Puppy Play Time & Summit Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
