Skagway Shore Excursion: White Pass Summit and Skagway City Tour
Overview
When your cruise ship docks in Skagway, enjoy a shore excursion to see the best sights of the city and take in the views from the majestic White Pass Summit area. Following the Klondike Highway by mini-bus, you'll have the opportunity to photograph the Gold Rush Cemetery, Skagway Scenic Overlook and the "Welcome to Alaska" sign as well as other scenic stops along the highway portion. Our mini-buses are smaller than other similar tour options with average size of 24 passengers with a full tour. This allows greater interaction with your guide as well as number of photo stops we make. Our guides will take great photos of your groups for lasting memories!
