Description
Exploring the scenic and historic landscapes of Alaska and Canada on the Skagway Scenic Waterfall Tour is one of those must-do experiences for visitors to Skagway. It’s a favorite with Skagway Shore Tours thanks to its great value, flexible timing, and wide appeal—it’s suitable for all ages and easy to pair with another excursion or some free time in town. This relaxed bus tour takes you to some of the most beautiful waterfall spots in the area, complete with scenic overlooks and plenty of chances to snap great photos. Along the way, your guide brings the region’s past to life with stories from the Gold Rush era and fun local history.
The adventure kicks off with a stop at Reid Falls, where you’ll take a short 10-minute walk through the rainforest to reach the falls, tucked behind the historic Gold Rush Cemetery. Next is Bridal Veil Falls, and it's cool, crisp, and crystal clear waters. Then it’s on to Pitchfork Falls, the second-largest waterfall in Southeast Alaska—a real showstopper. You'll also stop for a classic photo op at the Welcome to Alaska sign, and then head across the border into Canada for a visit to the magical International Falls.
On the way back to Skagway, you’ll pass the Captain William Moore Bridge, a unique historic structure with a great view, and wrap up the tour with a stop at the Skagway City Overlook for sweeping views of the town and surrounding mountains.
With small group sizes, an affordable price, and guides who know their stuff, the Skagway Scenic Waterfall Tour is a great way to take a break from the busy port scene and enjoy a more peaceful, nature-filled experience. Don’t miss out—book your spot today!
