Just wanted to let you know that my daughter and I had a fabulous time zipling with your guides in Skagway. I was a little nervous about the experience, but our guides were very professional and reassuring. Again, it was a fabulous experience and I will be recommending you!
- Susan M.

We had a fabouous time! We felt safe through the entire experience. We have never ziplined before. An experience we will not forget. Our guides were the best and very knowledgeable!
- Claire C.

2 weeks ago I took my family Zip lining with your company in Skagway and I just wanted to recognize the wonderful experience we all had. With 2 Japanese speaking ladies and a newly turned 8 yr old I wasn't sure how it would go...but it turned out great. What a great memory maker!!!!! Please pass along a huge "THANK YOU" from Seiji..I am sure they will remember him!!! Thanks again....
- Steve B.

This was an adventure of a lifetime! Our guides were excellent. We are in our 50's, and I never thought we would do such a thing. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I just can't say enough about it. It was great!!"

Departing the dock in Skagway, guests on this tour will enjoy a town tour of historic Skagway on our way towards the Canadian border. It is about a 40 minute drive from Skagway to the shores of Summit Lake. Along the way, we'll enjoy spectacular views of the Denver Glacier, the White Pass and the numerous snow-capped peaks. We'll check in with the Canadian customs before arriving at the lake.

Once the groups arrives at Summit Lake, we'll take a short walk along a winding trail through rocky, alpine terrain, to where your large, motor assisted 12 person voyageur canoes are waiting along the shore. These large 12 person tour canoes are similar to the ones used by trappers and prospectors during the gold rush era. You'll be outfitted with life jackets, boots, and ponchos (if needed). After a short safety talk and paddling instruction, we'll launch out onto the water to explore the alpine lake.

The rocky glaciated landscape of coves and islets make for stunning paddling in a pristine setting. Snow-capped glaciated peaks surround the narrow, intricate waterway of Summit Lake. If guests are feeling tired, or the winds pick up, we have a small outboard motor on the canoes to assist us on this tour. We'll explore narrow channels and have the chance to walk around to explore secluded shores of the lake. After a short break, we'll board the large canoes explore more of the aquamarine colored waters of Summit Lake. After about 1.5 hours on the water, we'll return to our bus and back to Skagway to finish off the excursion.

Even though I was nervous at the beginning, these guides made the experience fantastic. They were so much fun and knew a lot of information about Chilkoot Lake and Haines. This was my favorite tour so far! Thank you!

Hello! Just took a tour last week with your company. My daughters and I did a shore excursion to Haines, AK from our cruise ship. Our guide was Farid and I just wanted to let you all know that he was fantastic. We had the best time and took home family memories we will never forget. He also makes a mean Salmon snack!
- Deb, Jessica & Diana C.

This experience was just wonderful! Paul gave very informative information about the geology and bird and animal life in the area. Kylie and the other guide were very helpful in getting the safety gear on and operating the kayaks. Excellent pace and quantity of information along with time and quietness to enjoy nature. Ronnie added 'local living' information and gave a great tour or the town. Questions were encouraged and thoroughly answered. Very personable and genuine interest by all!
- Beverly C.

Oh My God, This trip was awesome! We were in awe. Corey was great. He had loads of information to share with us. You can tell he loves his job. We saw salmon, bear, eagles, and tons of beautiful scenery. We couldn't have chosen a better tour. We want to thank you for everything!!!

Guest Comments

This hike was very pretty. We were on a gravel trail initially, which then went to dirt and felt a little more adventurous. We hiked out to the peninsula south of town. It was gorgeous. We walked along the rock beach when we got out there and were astounded by the beautiful views. It was so peaceful and serene. Sadly, I don't think we saw any animals. Our tour guides, Abby and Tom, were fantastic. I can't say enough nice things about them. They were knowledgable and friendly and even carried people's backpacks and water. They brought snacks, and the peaceful peninsula was a great place to enjoy them, take pictures, and just relax. It was a great start to our day!

Hayden & Timmy. These men brought the perfect combination of youth and professionalism to the hiking tour. They were very knowledgeable of the land and animals. Our group felt safe throughout the tour and didn’t have any problems. Hayden and Timmy kept us entertained and informed during our adventure. They were the best tour guides we’ve experienced on this cruise by far. We really appreciate all they did for us and we hope to see them again!

Klondike Rock Climbing & Rappelling is an award winning shore excursion, named Shore Excursion of the Season in the port of Skagway several years in a row.

Join Professional Mountain Guides for an exciting climbing adventure on the smooth granite walls of the White Pass. There are great climbs for all abilities and no experience is necessary for this tour.

After a climbing introduction from the guides we will rope up and start climbing the clean granite.

There are more than a dozen routes to choose from. Some climbs are very easy and others offer more challenge. Each ends with a stunning aerial view of the Skagway River, The White Pass Yukon Route Railway, and the surrounding wilderness. Throughout the duration of the tour, participants will have the chance to climb many of the routes and try rappelling on the high cliffs. Professional mountain guides will share their knowledge and skill in all aspects of climbing. Many of them have guided on Denali and around the world and enjoy sharing their stories of adventures in the mountains. Your safety and enjoyment are always their primary concern.

This adventure tour is perfect for those looking for their first climbing experience, or for experienced climbers looking for a challenge.

Hello, My daughter & I attended a rock climb & rappelling excursion in Skagway. We had the blast of our life!!! My daughter was a quick spider on the rocks, I, a slow spider!! It was awesome and from a personal stand point a great challenge for me... the experience was outstanding, the staff were knowledgeable, encouraging, humorous - great people to hang with. This was our number one adventure in Alaska....The rock climb will always be a very favorite. Thank-you for such a great opportunity.
- Susan and Bernadette H.

We wanted to express how thrilled we were with the climbing & rapelling tour in Skagway. There was a wide range of climbing available, from beginner to advanced. We have climbed over the years and were dually impressed. Our guide Sean had a plethora of knowledge about Skagway and the climbs. He was well spoken, funny, intelligent and engaging. Our sincere thanks.
- Kristen and Michael

We've been on two Alaska cruises, and this was the best excursion we've had. The climbing guides made it great. They were enthusiastic, passionate about climbing, helpful and friendly, and inspired confidence with their experience and knowledge of climbing. My two sons and I had a great time that we will remember forever and tell others about.
