Yukon Tours

I wanted to THANK YOU so much for the exceptional trip last week down the Yukon River. Your communication, planning, quality of food and equipment, and logistics was the absolute best. It was a trip of a lifetime.
We so appreciated Joey being punctual and he did a perfect job. Rob was super experienced and prepared. We never had any concerns with Rob as our leader of the trip. We gave him some feedback for people who have more experience than normal; which he received well. We so enjoyed him as a guide and friend. He was absolutely outstanding.

Thomas and Kelly,
One cannot imagine this journey. To have been captivated by the Yukon territory floated into heaven was awe inspiring. Your entire organization made this experience and everlasting beautiful memory. Joey was so very pleasant when we met on Sunday. Rob made the trip the journey of a lifetime. Such nice, intelligent, cooperative and congenial gentlemen made the trip incredible.

I had an absolutely incredible snowmobiling experience. It was, by far, the highlight of my Yukon trip. Yukon Wide Adventures were so accommodating and friendly. I can't wait to visit Whitehorse again and do more tours with them!

Yukon Wide was everything I wanted in an outfitter. Thomas and Kelly answered emails quickly and accurately. Personable and knowledgeable, they accommodated me even when they were short staff, providing excellent equipment for me to paddle the Yukon River.

Had an absolutely awesome experience today with Yukon Wide. We did a HeliHike and everything was on time, as expected and our guide Thomas was very helpful. Will definitely suggest them to friends who might come here. Thank you!

We were looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience for my husband’s 50th birthday. We got that and so much more. Andrea was the perfect guide for novice paddlers like us. She guided us not only in the basics of paddling, but also shared her knowledge about the land and the history of the land. It was a bonus that she too was an avid bird watcher and we enjoyed sharing that hobby with her. She provided and prepared delicious meals over an open fire and there were plenty of snacks for in between meals. We never felt unsafe with her as our guide. Nothing can beat the beauty of paddling on the Teslin River. Everything right to our float plane flight back to Whitehorse was an awesome experience.

I spent an amazing week hiking in Kluane with Andrea and a small group of four. Before the trip, Andrea answered all my questions and even helped me create a plan for my road trip post hiking. Every day of hiking started with an amazing breakfast at The Cabins, accompanied by very interesting conversations. This is the reason we get away from the "busy-ness" of life, right? Andrea created daily plans for hiking based on what the group wanted. We did everything from easy two-hour hikes to climbing the relatively steep mountains for six hours to see Dall sheep. I really enjoyed her descriptions of various flowers, trees and birds. Dinners by Kathleen Lake were another highlight of the trip. She was able to meet the dietary needs of our group, including gluten free food for me. We could feel that Andrea really loved exploring nature and sharing it with others, and puts her heart into making the trip successful.

I took a lot of pleasure with my three teenage kids going on a five-day canoeing trip on the Yukon River from Lake Laberge to Little Salmon by the end of August 2019. The trip was perfectly organized (a must when going into the wild outdoors) and yet we had the complete feeling of freedom that one can enjoy in such a natural landscape. Andrea knows how to guide the group so that we could all move safely and enjoy each and every moment. We even tried pike fishing, saw salmon going upstream ... Besides being an experienced guide, Andrea is a passionate nature lover, sharing and explaining, and there is a lot on the Yukon.

My boyfriend and I went on a eight-day canoe trip from Carmacks to Dawson. This is the company I would recommend again and again. They were friendly, answered questions quickly via email. We were transported to Carmacks by them. I feel awful I forget the woman's name who drove us but she was extremely friendly and informative of the area and potential wildlife we may see. The experience itself was grand. I stand by that this is the best way to see the Yukon. The company has all the supplies to rent or bring your own.

Cannot recommend enough. I had the pleasure of going on a half day snowmobile tour with Kieran as my guide. I'd never ridden anything like a snowmobile before, but Kieran's instruction got me confident really quickly. Snowmobiles are actually pretty simple to ride, and they're lots of fun. Warm gear is provided, and the machines have heated grips so the cold isn't a problem at all. The tour took us through backcountry, across a frozen lake, and up a mountain, with much more variety than I expected. Kieran is passionate about the outdoors and it shows, sometimes he would stop to point out animal tracks, or explain landmarks along the way. We were lucky to come across four wild moose on the one trip, which I understand is really rare. The area is beautiful, and we stopped to have lunch halfway through the tour. This was one of the highlights of my Canadian trip, and something I won't forget!

A great place to start your adventure. Whether you are inexperienced and need a guide or you are experienced and want to go alone, Up North has the package for you. I often do the canoe rental from downtown to Takhini River. A great paddle at a great rate. Bring a lunch and some snacks as you relax winding your way down the famous Yukon River. Then have one of Up North's friendly staff members pick you up and bring you back.

The Tincup Wilderness lodge is a unique place; both the wilderness and the luxury are combined. We took a float plane from Whitehorse; there is also a helicopter for trips in the vicinity. Tincup Lake is about 15 km long and is surrounded by mountains. The Tincup Wilderness lodge, which is on the shore of Tincup Lake, Is the only lodge at Tincup Lake; everything else is untouched nature. Guests can enjoy the unspoiled nature, fishing, hiking or climbing the mountains around the lodge. Meinrad, the owner/operator, has an eye for detail; at the same time he honours the splendour of nature. It is truly a lifetime experience.
