ABOUT THIS REGION  CANOEING - RIVER TRIPS

Gold rush canoeing expedition on the Yukon River

Immerse yourself in the history of the gold rush on this 13 day canoeing expedition down the Yukon River. The Yukon River is a living museum, where along the banks lie relics of the past Klondikers who used this waterway as a main route to the large gold deposits discovered in the area a hundred years ago. Beginning in the town of Carmacks, you will explore the well-preserved historical sites along the way. The area is very remote and offers some great wildlife viewing opportunities including possible sightings of bears, moose and eagles.

The last days of the trip will be spent in historic Dawson City, where you will have a chance to visit historical sites such as Jack London's cabin, the Gaslight Follies, the Palace Grand Theatre and Diamond Tooth Gerties. This company provides the best ratio of guide to guests in the north (the single most important factor influencing the quality of your trip) and sets the highest standards for guides knowledge and natural interpretation.
