Port of Skagway
Skagway, USA
The Port of Skagway is a historic gateway to the Yukon, established during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 19th century. The waterfront is lined with a mix of restored wooden buildings and modern cruise ship docks, offering a glimpse into the town's bustling past and its role as a key transit hub for gold seekers heading north.
Visiting is best during the summer months when the port is alive with cruise passengers and the weather is mild. Key sights include the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway, which offers scenic trips into the surrounding mountains, and the nearby Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, where visitors can learn more about the area's gold mining history.

“We just returned from an Alaskan cruise and feel compelled to share our amazing experience with Thomas during our excursion. Initially, we intended to take the White Pass train but ultimately opted for a personalized tour to see more of Skagway and its surroundings. Booking with Thomas was a breeze; he promptly confirmed our plans and was entirely accommodating regarding our itinerary, even suggesting great spots. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we chose to extend our tour while we were still out. Thomas greeted us at the boat and ensured we were en route to Emerald Lake ahead of the larger tour groups. He provided helpful insights, shared local history, and assisted in spotting wildlife, including a bear, all while maintaining a fantastic sense of humor. For anyone visiting Skagway, I highly recommend booking a tour with Thomas—you won't be disappointed.”— amanda r on the Full-day Emerald Lake tour with wildlife spotting tour
