Skagway Shore Excursions

WHITE PASS RAIL UP AND SCENIC BUS DOWN WITH GOLD PANNING
$132 Per Person and $79 Per Child

The first segment of your trip was completed in 1900. The White Pass Railway has a narrow gauge track that takes the visitor into the White Pass. Your eyes will follow the spectacular views while you listen to historic narration as you make your way up to the summit. Climbing up the mountainside, you will see the extreme changes in vegetation as you pass through several temperate zones before reaching Fraser.

Once you arrive, you will transfer to a comfortable step-on van for a more personal view of this area with a local guide. As you drive down the mountainside, you will have the opportunity to take some fabulous photos at scenic vistas. You will truly appreciate the vast area while you imagine those prospectors seeking their fortunes from the earth.

The best is an interactive stop at the Gold Dredge, the gorgeous new facility that never lets you walk away without a reward of gold from your panning. You can pan for gold here in HEATED water in a covered area in comfort. Everyone is guaranteed to find their gold and you will walk away with this souvenir hidden in your 'poke', a velvet pouch used to stash your treasure.

This charming end to a perfect tour will bring you lasting memories.
