Skagway Excursions |
|
 |
 |
|
Trips on the iconic White Pass & Yukon Route narrow gauge railway are some of the most popular excursions in Skagway. But there's lots of other things to do in and around this small town. Here you can take a hike in the beautiful mountains, go on a wildlife or bird watching tour, kayak on a lake, bike down the White Pass, pan for gold, take in a salmon bake, head to the Yukon, go dog sledding, golf, fish and much, much more. There's lots to do in Skagway.
Your ship will dock at one of the city's docks--the Broadway Dock, which is situated at the end of Broadway, the Railroad Dock, which is at the southern end of the town, or at the Ore Dock, which is located at the end of Main Street. Some smaller ships dock at the Ferry Dock. It's a short walk to the town's shopping, dining and historic areas.
