Skagway, Alaska Port Reviews

We did the Dog Sledding and Helicopter tour was worth it. The dogs loved all the attention they got. The views are priceless. It was amazing to learn the dogs get to ride in the helicopters since it’s the only way to the top of the glacier.

Another beautiful day! Skagway is a quaint town. We did a city tour and then went to White Pass Summit. On the way we saw so many beautiful waterfalls and snow ( not a lot) was still on the mountain. Alaska is majestic and the people of Alaska are very hospitable!

This is a neat little town. The red onion saloon is cool since the girls dress up like the old days. One store front is made out of drift wood. Bring your jacket it's going to be windy

If you have the chance, ride the White Pass train. Beautiful scenery and a fascinating story. Historic, in more ways than one. The guide places you in the moment, when the rocks fall on workers, the tunnel is blasted, or the bridge is constructed.

White Pass Summit Train - Do it! No decision necessary, you don’t want to miss this. My favorite part of our Alaska cruise! You rarely get a chance in life for such breathtaking views

We did the excursion to the Kroschel Wildlife Refuge at this Port. Now, I will say this excursion was kind of expensive, but turns out it was worth EVERY PENNY. Includes the ferry ride to Haines (we saw a whale on the way there!), and bus to the Refuge. Once there, we were taken on a tour of the Refuge and got to see so many animals - grey wolves, owls, porcupines, caribou, bear, and many, many more. The owner was hilarious and very entertaining- this Refuge is a passion project for him. All of us in our group loved the excursion!

Did the Sled dogs, 40 below and Gold Panning Excursion...tons of fun, informative, and great for the kids as well! Well worth the money, great experience!😊

We loved Skagway and went on the White Pass Railway. Well worth the money.

We went on the White Pass railway to the Yukon...What a memerable experience. Breathtaking would be the word I would use to describe it. We even did some panning for gold and found $30 in gold flakes.

We loved Skagway. We took an all day tour that we booked directly with the tour company. We went up into the Yukon and saw Emerald Lake which is absolutely beautiful. Our weather was spectacular!! Our driver/tour guide was a wonderful storyteller and guide. He stopped frequently for photo opps. We had plenty of time to walk around and explore the town after we got back.
