SUMMER 2021 WILL BE ONE OF A KIND!  don't miss the real deal!

PictureYour 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 [email protected].

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.

3 hour city summit  dyea tour

Enjoy the city sights, cruise up to the White Pass Summit, and head out to Dyea on this local classic tour. Many photo stops and customized options for your group.

half day 4 hour city summit dyea  townsite walk

Upgrade the 3 hour City Summit Dyea Tour by adding a serene walk through the old townsite of Dyea.

5 hour city summit
dyea and chilkoot hike

Experience the historic Chilkoot Trail for yourself after your city/summit tour. We will drive out to Dyea and head up the chilkoot trail for a short hike. Trail is steep and rustic so this tour requires able bodies.

yoga and/or meditation tour

Enjoy a city tour with a stop to have a nice gentle yoga practice and meditation in a beautiful location. Your guide is a certified yoga instructor and would love to help keep you in your practice while on vacation. You can skip the yoga and just go for the meditation. It's your day.

forest bathing

Forest bathing is a way to experience nature by opening your senses and connecting. Calm your soul and experience nature in a new way. 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. Free trail map provided for you to use after your tour to find your own place to savor and explore.

PRIVATE PUB CRAWL

Enjoy the royal treatment of a limo van for your day or night on the town hitting Skagway's local establishments. Feel free to BYOB and drink inside the limo van as well! A cooler will be provided for you if needed and NO tour narration will be necessary! This is YOUR creation and celebration. Party on my friends!
Book for as much time as you will need!


BREWERY AND
DISTILLERY TOURS

Skagway has two beer breweries and one local distillery which are not to be missed! This tour is more of an informative version of the pub crawl with talks at each establishment as you enjoy the local offerings. Your guide's family resurrected the historic  Skagway Brewing Company in 1997 which is now owned and operated by Mike Healy. Get behind the scene of how our phenomenal brewers and distillers make their magic and sample some of their craft.
This is the tour that makes a sober driver jealous yet happy for you.

WHEN IN ROME...
the cannabis tour

Recreational Cannabis is legal in Alaska and Skagway has a dispensary. So why not combine your highlarious experience with a tour in the private safety of a limo van? Although smoking is not allowed in the vehicle or at public stops (no exceptions), you can get yourself primed AND THEN load up for your tour and let the giggles commence!
Enjoy a fun option of shows and movies in the limo van, bring your own music and experience the sights without having to pretend you aren't high!
Tour narration is optional as you might be your own best guide.

**NOW OFFERING THE "DOG IS THE COPILOT" OPTION!**

Meet JEDI! Summer 2021 offers the best tour opportunity for anyone visiting Skagway with the DOG IS THE COPILOT" option. This is the perfect tour for all dog lovers as Jedi will ride shotgun up front with his owner. Jedi is a gentle, loving, smart and amazing 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 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 will not be allowed in the back passenger area due to keeping the vehicle's customer area free of dog dander and hair.  A cleaning surcharge of unknown price at the time of this writing will be added to the tour price and a portion of that fee will be donated to Paws and Claws Animal Shelter in Skagway.
