4 Day Excursion

Day 1:
We'll greet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel in downtown Whitehorse located within walking distance of most attractions, restaurants, banks and stores. We’ll host an information meeting at your hotel followed by a city tour of Whitehorse in the afternoon. The city tour will include the historic SS Klondike Sternwheeler, Log Skyscraper, Log Church, and the Train Depot of the White Pass & Yukon Route. For those nature lovers, we’ll visit our Fish Ladder and of course, we’ll tour some residential areas and main street after which you will have dinner on your own.

Day 2:
After an early breakfast at your hotel we will head to the airport for your morning flight to Dawson City. You will stay at the beautiful Aurora Inn located in the center of Dawson City. Once in Dawson you will be immersed in the days of ’98. The historic buildings and boardwalks along with the historic museums, entertainment and activities will allow you to experience the days of ’98 first hand. We'll drive to the Gold Fields and visit the Dredge #4, Discovery Claim and then to an authentic gold claim where we'll be introduced to the art of panning for gold. Try some gold panning and keep all of the gold you find! Back in Dawson City dine at one of the local restaurants or rest up for the nightlife of Dawson City! We’ll visit the gambling hall of Diamond Tooth Gertie’s, watch the famous Can-Can Dancers and vaudeville Show. It promises to be a night of fun and hopefully, winnings!

Day 3:
After breakfast at the hotel we'll drive to the Dome to enjoy the view of the Yukon River and the town from above. Afterwards you have some time for shopping in the many great shops in Dawson City before we begin our drive back to Whitehorse. En route we'll stop at Moose Creek Lodge for coffee, Five Finger Rapids and for wildlife and other photo opportunities along the way. We'll arrive at your hotel in Whitehorse in time to get ready for the scrumptious farewell dinner.
