Follow the Yukon’s classic corridor on a thoughtfully planned summer journey, with return flights included from your choice of four Air North, Yukon’s Airline gateway airports. Travel through Whitehorse, Dawson City, Kluane, and Carcross, with unhurried pacing, storied places, and the long summer twilight of the North.
This tour is built around two proper northern bases: three nights in Dawson City and three nights in Whitehorse. In Dawson, boardwalk streets, river landscapes, late evening light, goldfields touring, and the Tr’ondëk-Klondike UNESCO World Heritage Site bring the Klondike story to life. From Whitehorse, the journey broadens to Kluane National Park and Reserve, Southern Lakes touring, and a White Pass & Yukon Route rail excursion from Carcross to Fraser.
Return flights, flights between Whitehorse and Dawson City, arranged transfers, escorted touring, selected admissions, four boxed lunches, and light in-flight meals are included. The group is kept small, with up to 12 guests.
