SUMMER 2021 WILL BE ONE OF A KIND! don't miss the real deal!
Your Guide Sherry Corrington with co-pilot Jedi.
What a long strange trip this has been! 2020 was a total bust thanks to the pandemic and we are looking at another summer without our cruise ship passengers. In the face of financial devastation the amazing city of Skagway is gearing up for a new approach to tourism; independent travelers, friends and family, Skagway Alumni from prior summers, and smaller cruise ships. It's going to be a great summer of new ideas and adventurous souls! Instead of crying in our pillows each business owner in town is adapting to our limitations and working together in new ways to hopefully survive until the 2022 cruise ship season begins. I can't wait to see who comes to visit!
tour in skagway's only vehicle for safe social distancing:
Our limo van provides A divider between driver and guests!
Skagway Private Tours' limo van is the ONLY vehicle in Skagway which provides added safety by social distancing from your tour driver! The privacy divider between the driver and passenger area provides an extra margin of safety from cooties and covid. The van's sound system allows for passengers to hear the driver's narration and microphones in the back allow the driver to hear the guests. Skagway Private Tours will be following local, state and federal/CDC safety practices to make sure guests and driver are as safe as possible. CDC guidelines have yet to be posted but rest assured the ENTIRE town will be following in order to be back in operation. All tours are private so when you book the van it is yours...no mixed bags of nuts! Vehicle fits groups up to 7 people*. Contact us for larger group options and pricing.
*THE SEPARATE PASSENGER AREA HOLDS 6. THE 7TH GUEST WOULD RIDE SHOTGUN UP FRONT NEXT TO THE DRIVER. THIS MAY NOT BE AN OPTION IN 2021 DUE TO SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS NOT YET POSTED; TIME WILL TELL. ALSO, THE 7TH SEAT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR A TWO LEGGED SOUL IF ONE CHOOSES THE "DOG IS THE COPILOT" OPTION AS THAT WOULD BE FOR JEDI.

2021 tour options, ideas and logistics
The likelihood of the Canadian border opening during the 2021 summer season is not looking good; that means more opportunities to explore Skagway and Dyea! In a normal tour season we usually have 4 ships in port with over 12,000 visitors. It is too much for a town 4 blocks wide and 22 blocks long. The opportunity to see this area quiet and peaceful during the summer is a RARE OPPORTUNITY! So enjoy exploring with a true year round local who can share this piece of her heart with you. You can feel good knowing that your business will help a year round local make it through the most unimaginable financial "pause" in Skagway history.
Keep checking back to this page for updates and to see what has been added! As of March 1 we are just getting our bearings regarding the loss of our big industry, and lack of border crossing into Canada. We all know things change quickly during this pandemic. Tours are very flexible and custom options can be made for your group. For details and more in depth tour descriptions please call 907-612-0291 or email skagwayprivatetours@gmail.com.
2 HOUR CITY SUMMIT TOUR
One of the most classic and simple of all tour options in Skagway; the city summit tour will offer a thorough city tour and phenomenal photo stops up the scenic Klondike Highway paralleling the route of the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad.

As a born and raised Alaskan I've always gone to the woods for connection, grounding and answers; I just never knew it had a name.
