The Top 1 Canoe Tours in Skagway

Why join a Skagway canoe tour? Well, not only will you get to experience paddling across some of the most scenic stretches of water in Alaska, but you can also spot all kinds of Alaskan wildlife along the way. Breathe in the clean and cool Alaskan air, and feel the freedom of the wilderness - an opportunity that only a privileged few can enjoy! 

The popular Chilkoot Canoe Wildlife Safari blends paddling, wildlife spotting, and sightseeing  perfectly, creating an excursion that you’ll remember for years to come. On arrival at Skagway, you’ll be whisked off to the Haines Fast Ferry for a 45-minute crossing that takes in beautiful views of the Lynn Canal, potentially spotting seals, sea lions, and even whales. A scenic drive through the Chilkoot River Valley will bring you to Chilkoot Lake where the canoeing section of your trip takes place. You’ll be wowed by the surroundings of the lake, which couldn’t be more picturesque. Photography will be easy, as there are amazing views every way you turn. Huge snow-capped peaks loom over the lake, which is surrounded by picture-perfect spruce and hemlocks - and the pale green waters of Chilkoot Lake are central to it all. Explore the lake, taking in the 360-degree vistas of waterfalls and hidden coves, while you keep watch for native Alaskan wildlife like bald eagles, mountain goats, and black bears.

If you decide to join us on a Skagway canoe tour, you can rest assured that everything you need is included. Your ferry ride, all equipment, and lunch are provided, so there’s nothing for you to do but show up and enjoy your day!
