Arctic Tundra & Dawson City

Day 1 - Whitehorse

The adventure begins with a meet and greet at the airport, and transfer to your hotel. You will meet your fellow travellers and your guide will review the itinerary at our group meeting this afternoon. The remainder of the afternoon and evening is free to explore the city.

 

Day 2 - Whitehorse - Dawson City

Today we start our adventure in Whitehorse and travel on the North Klondike Highway towards the Northwest, the historic Dawson City. Our first stop is at Braeburn Lodge where you can try their famous Cinnamon Buns. Old post offices, roadhouses, small villages and great viewpoints along the Highway constantly bring back to mind the gold rush era 100 years ago. This evening, visit Diamond Tooth Gerties to watch the famous Cancan-Dance-Girls perform, or perhaps try the infamous sour toe cocktail.

 

Day 3 - Dawson City

A visit to the Jack London and Robert Service cabins and museum are on the program. A highlight is the drive into the Bonanza and Eldorado Creeks where we visit the historic Dredge #4 and an active gold mine. You have the chance to try your luck panning for gold in the Klondike.
 
In the late afternoon we travel up the Midnight Dome Road for fantastic views of Dawson City and the Yukon River. This evening you’ll have the time to explore the city on your own.

 

Day 4 - Dempster Highway / Tombstone Mountains

After getting up early we drive up the Dempster Highway which is 730km long and is the only year-round road connection to the Arctic Sea. After a short visit at the Tombstone Visitor Centre we are ready to start our hike at the foot of the Tombstone Mountains. We will travel into the tundra of this mountain range, where every season has its unique attraction. From the top of the trail, hikers have an exceptional 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, including Discovery Ridge, North Fork Pass, and Fold Mountain.

 

Day 5 - Dawson City - Whitehorse

Today, there will be time to enjoy the historic atmosphere of Dawson City before we head to the airport for our flight back to Whitehorse. You'll have time for souvenir shopping this afternoon in Whitehorse.

 

Day 6 - Whitehorse

Today your Yukon journey comes to an end. Or perhaps consider extending your stay to explore more of Whitehorse. If you are travelling on one of the later season dates, perhaps consider a Northern Lights viewing extension to watch the Aurora Borealis dance in the skies above.

Planning your next adventure is thrilling! While we hope for smooth travels, preparing for the unexpected is always smart. We highly recommend getting travel insurance when you book.

Supplier Fees

In the event the Travel Offer you have purchased is unable to proceed, and/or a travel Supplier is unable to fulfil the Travel Offer due to external circumstances (Limitation of Liability e.g. a Force Majeure event), there may be a fee or amount of money that is withheld by our Suppliers and is unrecoverable.
