Hike Skagway’s historic Chilkoot Trail, spot wildlife, and float the Taiya River on a small-group shore excursion.

“What a great pick! Be sure to arrive 15 minutes before and look for the van with the sign. Owen was an absolutely perfect match for us! We went with just ourselves and another couple as this company does not cancel for minimum requirements not being met! It was a perfect amount of hiking, rafting and scenery! We learned so much, felt comfortable trying berries and learning about all the elements of the rainforest!!”
