"DOG IS THE COPILOT":
Tours with an alaskan husky

PictureYour Guide Sherry Corrington with co-pilot Jedi.
Dogs are an iconic part of Alaskan History and life. From the Iditarod Sled Dog race to our own homes dogs are a major part of Alaskan culture. Skagway Private Tours celebrates these great souls with some exclusive tour options for dog lovers. Owner Sherry Corrington grew up with sled dogs in her early years. Her father ran in the 1976 Iditarod Sled Dog race where he won...the red lantern award for last place! Sherry has also driven twice up to the Iditarod and once to the Knik 200 Sled Dog Race with Yukon Musher Michelle Phillips as a handler/helper. She also volunteers with Paws and Claws Animal Shelter in Skagway helping with rescue puppies and dogs which is how she ended up with Jedi, a foster fail and total score!

dog mushing tours

Tours to the Yukon Border, Carcross and Emerald Lake all go by Tagish Lake Kennels summer training camp near Lake Tushi. Drop ins are possible on most tours. Admission/cart rides are paid onsite. If you would like to do just a quick stop to pet puppies and sled dogs we can add a stop on most tours depending on time. If you wish to add a cart ride we would need and extra hour or so on regular tours to have enough time. Let us know if you are interested in this option!

DOG MUSHING and puppies! IDITAROD EXPERIENCE DOG MUSHING TOUR and YUKON SCENIC DRIVE

Picture
 Experience the thrill of the race and the love of dogs as we travel up to the Yukon border and meet Iditarod musher Michelle Phillips and her team of lovable athletes. Discover for yourself why Michelle is known for her friendly team and positive spirit. Michelle took 2nd in the last Yukon Quest race in 2019 so she is the real deal! Your guide and owner rode up to the Iditarod 2020 and 2022 as a handler for Michelle and looks forward to sharing her own Iditarod stories plus stories of her father's Iditarod experience in 1976. Michelle has done 20! 1000 mile long races in her amazing career! Michelle uses her summer dog camp to keep her dogs in shape all summer by offering cart rides to visitors. It's a joy to see the dogs in action and you will have plenty of time to pet puppies and sled dogs while you wait for your cart ride with Michelle.

"DOG IS THE COPILOT": TOURs with an Alaskan Husky

Picture
Dog is the copilot at Skagway Private Tours. Meet JEDI! Jedi is a gentle, loving, and smart rescue pup from Angoon with an amazing story of his own. He is a light during dark times and now his joy can be shared with visitors! JEDI is available on our shorter afternoon tours or on the half day tours to the Yukon when you book the limo van. Luxury AND dog love; what else could you ask for?
Jedi will ride up front with Sherry and will be available at photo stops for guests and on the trail or town site for our walks or hikes. Dogs are the best way to really connect us to nature and Jedi loves to be that Force for whomever he is with.


jedi is available on these tours:

half day 4 hour city/summit/dyea 

Enjoy the city sights, cruise up to the White Pass Summit, city overlook and out to the "ghost town" of Dyea on this local classic tour. Many photo stops and customized options for your group.
This tour has no hikes/walks; just photo ops with a husky in beautiful places.

4 hour city/cemetery/reid falls waterfall hike/dyea townsite walk

Skip the haul up the White Pass summit and spend more of your time out in nature with a husky. We will tour the city then head out to the Gold Rush cemetery and take a short hike up to Lower Reid Falls. From there will will drive to the city overlook, Nahku Bay overlook and out to Dyea Valley to take a beautiful flat walk through the woods of the old Dyea Townsite.
**No passports needed for this option

half day 5 hour city/summit/dyea townsite walk/waterfall hike

Don't want to drive the whole time? Spend less time driving and more time out in nature with a husky! This is the best drive to the summit ever: with a husky! We will then drive out to the Dyea Valley where we will take a wonderful walk through the forest of the old Dyea townsite in the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park  and also take a short hike up to Lower Reid Falls behind the Gold Rush Cemetery

Yukon dog mushing plus husky hike: full day dog fanatic tour

Picture
This is the dog lover's dream tour! Enjoy a scenic drive to the Yukon and stop at Tagish Lake Kennels to pet puppies, love on sled dogs and take a cart ride to help train the team during the summer months. Learn all about mushing and how it has evolved over the years. See what a well loved dog mushing team can really do! On our return back to Skagway we will stop by and pick up Jedi to end our tour on a hike to spectacular Lower Reid Falls and possibly another stop if we have time. Hike with a husky in the woods, get some exercise and stretch your legs after our drive. 6 hours.

Limo van VEHICLE RATE IS $200* per hour plus city sales tax.
Jedi is not allowed in the minivan as it is not big enough for people and a dog PLUS it has black cloth seats...We are currently shopping for another vehicle that is larger without the divider so Jedi can ride WITH you the whole time.  Check back this spring for pricing on another vehicle or pay a deposit now to hold your date and choose your vehicle later. You can enjoy dog fur, paw prints on your pants and miss half of what the driver is saying because Jedi wants to stick his head out the window. It'll be the best tour of your cruise because it is authentic and full of dog love!

***passports, PROOF OF VACCINATION CARDS, AND COMPLETION OF THE ARRIVE CAN APP BY EACH GUEST  are required on all TOURS To the summit and to the yukon. ***



*Jedi will not be allowed in the back passenger area due to keeping the vehicle's customer area free of dog dander and hair.
