The Top 3 Train Tours in Skagway

The Skagway region is the gateway to amazing train journeys that are not only scenic but also historic. Take one of our Skagway train tours and you’ll experience the route taken by prospectors in the late 1800s as they rushed to claim their share of newly discovered gold. Today, the area is much more sedate, and the views you’ll witness during a train tour are outstanding. You certainly won’t forget your excursion in a hurry!

On the White Pass Train & Bike tour, you’ll combine an exhilarating ride on the White Pass train, chugging up to the White Pass Summit, all the while passing stunning waterfalls and snow-capped mountains. Many people take the same train back to Skagway, but not on this tour - there’s something much more exciting planned! Jump on a bike and cruise downhill, taking in more of those panoramic views.  

For a less active, but just as enjoyable tour, consider the all-day Bennett Lake Scenic Journey tour. An early start sees you departing Skagway along the White Pass railroad - in vintage carriages just like the Klondike Gold Rushers would have used. Pass by gorgeous turquoise lakes, crashing waterfalls, and picture-book-perfect mountain and forest scenery as you ascend to White Pass Summit. Learn more about the history of this significant region as you explore historic Bennett Station on the way up, and the scenic Yukon town of Carcross as the train reaches its final destination. 

You’ll no doubt have seen pictures of the White Pass train, as it’s genuinely one of the most spectacular journeys in the world. Join one of our Skagway train tours to experience it for yourself!
