Great guided tour - Amazing tour with some nice spots on the way to skagway. I really enjoyed that we were a small group and liked that we got so much background information. Thanks a lot Ju.

Great Whitehorse to Skagway Travel Option - When the White Pass Yukon Route Railway train from Whitehorse to Skagway was cancelled for 2022, I needed alternative transportation options for my trip.
I fortunately found the Skagway Explorer tour through Epic North.This trip takes you from Whitehorse to Skagway, making a number of interesting stops along the way (e.g. Emerald Lake, Forty Mile Rapids, Carcross, Carcross Desert and many more).
The owner of Epic was always responsive to my emails. He agreed to pick me up from Skagway midway through the tour and bring me back to Whitehorse. If it wasn't for them, I may still be stranded in Alaska!
Huge thanks to Yuya for being a great driver/tour guide. He is quite knowledgeable, personable and accommodating.
Thanks again for bringing me back to Canada!

Highly recommendable! - Great experience with them! We needed to go from Whitehorse to Skagway to take the ferry and our driver Yuya made that possible. He was knowledgeable and friendly and made our trip very enjoyable. We even stopped at "Welcome to Alaska" sign! I'd recommend the shuttle service with Epic North 100%!

Long day mostly driving - We had great weather but trip had no pre planning explained, we didn't know where we were stopping or for how long, guide was patient, knowledgeable but didn't say much about trip ay all.
Drive destination was too long for a 10 hour day, only had one short hour in skagway.
The trip is overpriced
