Description
With some of the world’s most stunning scenery around every bend, it’s no wonder the historic White Pass journey from Skagway to Canada's Yukon Territory has been called one of the world’s great short road trips, or that it's one of the most sought-after Skagway shore tours! Many Skagway excursions are going up to White Pass Summit and back, but this 7-Hour extended Emerald Lake tour, one of our exclusive private group tours Skagway, is a comprehensive day trip offering much, much more. On this Skagway vehicle tour, you'll have your own private guide and vehicle for an adventure into Yukon Territory to Carcross. With this exclusive private option, you'll enjoy stops whenever you want. The journey, which takes place a private coach, travels the entire 67-mile White Pass route, paralleling the path of the Yukon Railroad, and passes snow-capped peaks, towering forests, crystal lakes, and cascading waterfalls. What's more, it follows the same route that the Klondike stampeders did during the gold rush of 1898! Stops at Emerald Lake, Carcross, and the Yukon’s spectacular Southern Lakes Region are highlights of the unforgettable Private Emerald Lake Tour. Don't miss out on this favorite among private group tours Skagway!
The White Pass/ Yukon journey is simply a must-do activity when visiting Skagway, and the exclusive Private Emerald Lake Tour is the best option to not only enjoy the historic scenic journey, but also explore more of the Yukon Territory accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, setting your own pace for the journey. You'll enjoy a hearty lunch and refreshments at a historic station by the shores of Lake Bennett before heading toward Carcross and then your guided return journey via the Klondike Highway. This exclusive full-day excursion is limited to a maximum of 11 people, so, as for other private group tours Skagway, advance bookings are recommended.
