Great tour with Rebekah! - So I was so uncertain what to book for Skagway, and so glad I chose this! We met the tour company right in town (short walk from the port) and into a comfortable bus for our 6 hour trip. The time honestly flew by though because there were so many things to see/do, and Rebekah was an amazing guide and driver for us.
The description in TripAdvisor doesn’t say much so I’ll elaborate:
1. Bus drives up Klondike highway and stops at maybe 4-6 places, with amazing views of waterfalls, majestic mountains, etc. Got some amazing pics. Small group of 19 for us so it was great not having a big crowd.
2. Lunch at carcross- manage your time wisely, we had to rush through taxidermy area and petting zoo (can feed alpacas and goats!) and the gift shop had some cute items. Lunch was yummy, bbq chicken with baked potato, coleslaw, rolls, homemade donuts, tea/coffee/water and they sell other drinks. I wouldn’t waste time doing the dog sledding because there’s so much to see there, you are only there for a short hour.
3. Return back down Klondike highway with a couple stops.
We were lucky with gorgeous weather but if it’s bad out then this could be kind of a miserable excursion. Our tour started at 8am and we returned to Skagway downtown by 2pm. Would recommend to anyone!

Awesome experience on Skagway Yukon Discovery Adventure - My wife and I booked the Skagway Yukon Discovery Adventure tour for July 16,2024. This excursion did not disappoint. Our tour bus driver was "Brooke" and she was awesome. She is an experienced driver/tour guide and is well versed on the various sights in the area as well as the wildlife and points of interest. We enjoyed a scenic drive to the Yukon Territory and Carcross and had a very nice lunch at "Wild Adventure Yukon" and also viewed the Wildlife and Yukon Museum. We also enjoyed the stop in Carcross and my wife shopped briefly. While on the tour bus we had many opportunities to stop and take photographs at Emerald Lake, Bridal Veil Water Falls and other scenic spots. We also saw black bear while going to the Yukon Territory and again while returning to Skagway. We highly recommend this tour and our driver/tour guide "Brooke".

Beautiful Sights! - We had a most scenic tour with Chad, our driver and guide. The Yukon is so beautiful, and we had several opportunities to stop for views and pictures of mountains, lakes and waterfalls. Had a delicious lunch and fun stop in Carcross where we also met sled dog pups and other animal residents. We got to see a young bear alongside the road on the way back. Chad was entertaining, knowledgeable and safety conscious. Great tour!

Beautiful scenery & a bear! - The highlight of this trip was seeing a bear! Garrett did an amazing job as a guide! We spotted the bear and he turned around to let us get a good view of it! We visited beautiful places with many stops along the way! Garrett was a wealth of knowledge and fun to be with for the day!

Rock slide altered Yukon tour - Unfortunately there was a rock slide that cut off half the trip, but Southeast Tours did their best to make it enjoyable. They did offer a full refund but we all chose to do the tour through the Yukon. Garret, our guide, did a fantastic job and did a lot of extra stops for us to fill in the gaps. Lunch was supposed to be provided but ended up being snacks. All in all they did their best under unusual circumstance's.

Beautiful sites - Mike our tour guide was a great guy. We were a little late getting started but that was because they made him wait on a family of 4 that were late getting to the bus. Saw a lot of beautiful sites & places. Had lots of fun at the animal area, got to play with the sled puppies. That family being late shortened our time at the outpost in the Yukon which was a bummer. Only thing the company could do better is include what company this is through a little more clearly (it was hard to find where to meet) & update the bus windows-- they weren't clear, hard to see the sites out of and impossible to take any nice pictures unless we stopped and got off the bus. Still, a great experience!

A Great Day in the Yukon - This was a very good experience and a real value for all we saw and did. Gorgeous scenery and narratives. Dogs were adorable and the mush ride fun. The lunch was good but not great. Loved the homemade donuts. Our guide Chad was full of fun and very attentive. Maybe he told a few too many Dad Jokes but his good cheer and enthusiasm helped make the day a memorable experience.

Awful Experience - Our driver and so calked tour guide, Patrick, was terrible. He spoke only when asked a question, was rude and he did not stop liked he said he would to ket us take pictures. We complained to the ticket operator along with other couples who felt the same way. I would not wish this tour on anyone.
