The Top 1 Canoe Tours in Skagway

Canoeing is a fun way to see the prettiest parts of Alaska. If you want to explore the great outdoors while challenging yourself to a little physical activity, all the while taking in the mountains, lakes, and forests surrounding you, then we recommend a Skagway canoe tour. 

On the Chilkoot Canoe Wildlife Safari, you’ll begin with a hop over the water from Skagway to Haines - you’ll take the fast ferry which is, of course, included in the cost of your trip. Take a look at the masses of wildlife that call the Lynn Canal home. With animals like whales, eagles, and seals regularly spotted, you should definitely have your camera in hand! After stopping off at Fort Seward - Alaska’s first military base - you’ll make your way to the Chilkoot Lake for a full two hours of canoeing. You may not know where to look first, as there are so many views to enjoy - milky green water, lush Sitka spruce trees, all backed by snow-capped mountains. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere as your paddles become one of the only sounds you hear - or start the motor-assisted canoe’s engine if your arms need a break! 

You’ll return from a Skagway canoe tour feeling pleasantly tired, but also refreshed. Getting out into the Alaskan wilderness is one of the best ways to enjoy your shore time in Skagway, so don’t hesitate to join us on one of our well-rated excursions!
