SKAGWAY ALASKA EXCURSIONS-PAGE 2
White Pass Railway & Trail Camp Adventure
PRICE: ADULT: 156.00 / CHILD: 84.00 USD
DURATION: 4 Hours 45 Minutes Approx.
Join an unforgettable journey aboard the world-famous narrow
gauge White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad along the eastern
side of the White Pass to the 2,865-foot summit. This iron trail
was built over 100 years ago through some of the North's most
rugged terrain. Board an 1890's-style parlor car and retrace
the original route beyond the summit of White Pass to Fraser,
British Columbia. Upon reaching Fraser, board a motor coach
for a journey down the west side of the White Pass canyon.
Listen while your driver/guide regales you with stories of the
stampeders who trekked through the pass in search of gold.
See picturesque points such as Tormented Valley and Pitchfork
Falls where you will be able to look back across the valley to the
train tracks from which you just traveled.
On your way down the Pass stop at the historic gold rush camp
of Liarsville where you may browse through cabins and tents
used as a bakery, laundry, saloon and bordello. Hot cider and
cookies are provided while a cast of miners and dance hall girls
entertain you with song, dance and a chilling ballad by the
"Bard of the North," Robert Service. You will even get the
chance to strike it rich with gold panning where you get to keep
whatever you find. Before departing, have your photo taken
with one of the "good time girls" or the camp mascot, a loveable
Alaskan malamute. On your return to Skagway you may choose
to stop in town for some shopping or return to the ship.
Since this excursion crosses an international border all
participants must bring proper international identification,
including proof of citizenship (e.g., passport). Due to climatic
changes, no guarantee is given for the views available at any
given time.
Eagle Preserve Float & Lynn Fjord Cruise-GREAT TOUR!
PRICE: ADULT: 196.00 / CHILD: 99.00 USD
DURATION: 6 Hours 30 Minutes Approx.
Just outside the Southeast Alaska town of Haines, the Chilkat
Valley boasts the world's largest concentration of Bald Eagles.
This journey combines a cruise on the Lynn Fjord with a float
trip through the world famous Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, one
of Alaska's most accessible wilderness treasures.
Begin with a cruise through Lynn Fjord in a motorized and
heated catamaran, viewing the scenery along North America's
longest and deepest fjord. After arriving in Haines, drive
through the Valley of the Eagles to the heart of the Preserve.
An 18- foot raft awaits to take you on a voyage of discovery
through the braided waters of the Chilkat River system. As you
float silently along, your guide will explain the unique human
and natural history of this special place. The guides are experts
at spotting the many animals that call the Preserve home
including grizzly bears, wolves, moose, and of course bald
eagles, and impart a love of the land that will be yours forever!
At the end of the float, a picnic-style meal is provided before
the return cruise back to Skagway to rejoin your ship. This trip
has no white water. Rubber boots, and a poncho (in case of
rain) are provided. A warm jacket, layered clothing, gloves, hat
and extra socks are recommended.
Minimum age to participate is 7 years old. Expectant mothers in
the third trimester of pregnancy are not permitted
Skagway Street Car Tour
PRICE: ADULT: 42.00 / CHILD: 22.00 USD
DURATION: 2 Hours Approx.
Experience Skagway with Alaska's original city tour to "All
Points of Interest!" Skagway character Martin Itjen came looking
for Klondike gold in 1898, and became the town's most
celebrated storyteller. He gave Alaska's first motorized
sightseeing tour on his Skagway Street Car for U.S. President
Warren G. Harding in 1923, and delighted visitors for decades.
Today, Martin's tour lives on in Skagway. Aboard a yellow 1927
sightseeing bus, your costumed conductor passes on a century
of history, behind-the-scenes tales, and stories of life in small
town Alaska, just like Martin did himself.
Explore the waterfront and National Park Historic District, enjoy
the panoramic views from the Scenic Overlook, and have your
camera ready for the recounting of the Soapy Smith gunfight at
the Gold Rush Cemetery. Tour the Residential District famous
for its flower gardens. The grand finale is an exclusive viewing
of the acclaimed "Skagway Story" production at the Club
House Theatre. There, like three American Presidents - T.
Roosevelt, Wm. H. Taft, and W.G. Harding - you'll become an
honorary member of the Artic Brotherhood.
To The Summit!

DURATION: 1 Hour 30 Minutes Approx.
Adventure to the 3,292 foot high Klondike Highway Summit, on
the original Gold Rush Trail of '98. The Klondike Highway is

parallels the historic White Pass Trail into the Interior. Over the
years this route has been used by dog teams, horses, wagons,
narrow gauge railway trains, a pipeline and finally a scenic
highway blasted through to the Yukon Territory in 1978. Your
mountain driver-guide will introduce you to the country, and to
a century of Klondike stories. Leaving your ship aboard a
wide-windowed mini-bus, you tour through the city of Skagway
and then head up the river valley, stopping along the way for
photos. See the Dead Horse Trail, the White Pass Railroad,
Pitchfork Falls, Moore Bridge, and numerous glaciers and
peaks. At the top of the 3,292-foot high Pass, you'll stop just
beyond the US/Canadian border to view the boulder-strewn
mountain moonscape in this wild land above timberline.

bicycle and safety orientation, your experienced guides will
escort you approximately 15 miles by bike from summit to sea
on the paved Klondike road. Make stops for photos of
waterfalls, the railroad, glaciers, and the coastal mountains on
your way to Skagway. This is a unique way to tour Skagway
and the surrounding area.
Participants must be at least 12 years old and 54-inches tall.
Sports shoes and layered clothing are recommended. The ride
is approximately 15 miles downhill and participants must be
comfortable using hand brakes. Participants should be aware

season. The Preserve is 48,000 acres of wilderness and you
are able to access the road-less portion of it, with specially
designed, flat bottom, river boats and travel miles of all the
different channels of the Chilkat River. These boats are
designed for this silt-laden river and the guide is able to hold
against the current or turn around and go back, to give you the
best photo opportunities. The animals are undisturbed by the
presence of the boats, so bring those cameras for your
wilderness adventure in the heart of the Preserve.
You will be surrounded by towering mountains, cascading
waterfalls, hanging glaciers and true wilderness. Join the Hess
family at their private property for your excursion, with all
modern amenities and extra jackets to keep you warm and dry
on your adventure. Cook your own hot dogs over the open
