Paddle the route taken by the gold seekers who rushed to the Klondike over 100 years ago in 1898. Most of the historic Yukon River is flat water, with a few small rapids. This can be a perfect river for fast paddling, practicing technique, or just relaxing. We also offer trips down a variety of other rivers in the Yukon. Rivers range from flat water to Class 4 Whitewater. Scheduled tours on Yukon River; we regularly arrange custom trips on other rivers including the South Macmillan & Big Salmon.
Trips vary in length from river to river. Please contact us for more information.
Guests should be in good health, but
do not need to be "super athletes". It is our goal to adjust our trips to
individual abilities and comfort levels. A typical day canoeing on a river
would involve about 5 hours paddling.
A lesser level of fitness is needed for canoeing on the Yukon River.
Boating can accommodate less active people - however, if you have limited mobility, please let us know in advance, as some boat trips may require a minimum fitness level.
If you aren't sure whether you could do one of our trips or have health limitations, please feel free to ask questions and discuss your requirements with us. If you are an athlete and would like a more challenging trip, please see Custom Trips (below).
Yukon River boating and canoeing trips are both suitable for families. Please inquire about family rates.
If you would like a longer or shorter trip, a vacation including several activities or special activities, a trip tailored for special fitness requirements, or to suit any other needs or interests, we would love to make one of our trips right for you. Please contact us with your idea for your vacation.
