About Skagway Day Trips

Skagway Day Trips was created with a simple goal: to share this remarkable place in a way that feels personal, thoughtful, and welcoming.

Skagway isn’t just a stop on an itinerary; it’s a real community with deep history, strong character, and breathtaking surroundings. I started this company because I wanted visitors to experience that side of Skagway, not just the highlights, but the heart of it.

This is a locally owned, owner-operated business built with care and intention from the ground up. Maximum Group Size will never be more than 20

Meet Your Guide

My name is Alex, and I’m proud to call Skagway home.

Living and working here has given me a deep appreciation for the history, resilience, and natural beauty that define this town. From Gold Rush stories to mountain views and cross-border journeys into the Yukon, I believe the best tours feel less like a transaction and more like a conversation.

When you book with Skagway Day Trips, you’re booking directly with the person who will greet you, guide you, and make sure you return to your ship comfortably and on time.

A Business Built with Care

Starting this company has been a personal commitment. Every decision, from the vehicle selection to insurance, licensing, and scheduling, has been made with safety, reliability, and guest experience in mind. My bus is equipped with a wheelchair lift, and I want to make my town welcoming and accessible to everyone.

Operating in Southeast Alaska requires preparation, flexibility, and professionalism. You can explore confidently knowing your tour is thoughtfully planned and responsibly operated.

Small Groups, Real Connection

With Skagway Day trips, it’s just me and the bus. You get to experience our community through the eyes of a local.

Whether we’re exploring historic downtown, heading into the mountains, or visiting local attractions, the goal is the same: show you the best of the town and hope you love it as much as I do.

Welcome to Our Corner of Alaska

Skagway may be small, but it has an outsized story and landscape. The moment you step into town, the majesty of the local peaks, hanging glaciers and fresh air fills you with awe and wonder.

If you’re visiting for a few hours or a full day, I would be delighted to show you around and show you why we were voted the friendliest town in America.

Small groups. Big landscapes. Genuine experiences.
