5. Full-day Kluane National Park tour from Whitehorse

Full-day tour to Kluane National Park including a hike at Rock Glacier and visit to Da Kų Cultural Centre in Haines Junction.

“We were picked up promptly in a clean, modern bus and taken to the designated sites. The guide was knowledgeable, professional, and supportive. Frequent rest breaks were appreciated since it was a long day. However, the hike up the rock glacier became challenging after the boardwalk, with steep areas and stepping stones that could be difficult for those with mobility issues. My main disappointment was that the tour advertised a glacier view, but we didn't actually see it, which felt misleading. A bag lunch including a sandwich, water, an apple, and a granola bar was provided.”— FarFlungStarling
