Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Whitehorse
Your driver will meet you at the Whitehorse airport and drive you roughly two hours up the Klondike Highway to Carmacks. Here you’ll meet your guide and the rest of your group, some of whom have already paddled the first portion of the river from Whitehorse. We’ll review the itinerary, safety, and everyone’s responsibilities for the next thirteen days. (Overnight camping accommodation)

Day 2-10: Yukon River

The campground is located right beside the Yukon River. You’ll break camp and get an early start this morning, and go through a crash course in paddling a Canadian canoe. Pay attention because the Five Finger Rapids are not far from the put-in. These are the only real...

Day 10: Dawson City
After more than a week on the river, you’ll arrive in the colourful boomtown of Dawson City. The city grew up almost overnight during the Klondike Gold Rush, becoming the largest city west of Winnipeg and north of Seattle. A National Historic Site, many of the false-fron...
Day 11: Dawson City
You have a full day to experience Dawson City today. Included in the program is a visit to Gold Bottom Mine. A tour of this working placer mine will introduce you to the history of Dawson’s famous gold fields, and show you how today’s family-run mines continue to search ...
Day 12: Dawson City - Whitehorse
Return to Whitehorse by van, via the Klondike Highway, stopping to revisit the Five Finger Rapids at the scenic overview, before returning to Whitehorse for a last dinner together with your paddling group and another night in a comfortable hotel. (Overnight accommodation in Whitehorse)

Day 13: Departure Whitehorse
You will transfer to the Whitehorse airport for your return flight home.

This is an expeditionary trip, and changes to the itinerary may be necessary due to weather or other conditions. Any changes are left to the discretion of the guide.
