Southeast Tours operates guided excursions between Skagway and the Yukon Territory, offering a range of half-day and full-day sightseeing experiences. The company’s offerings include the Yukon Suspension Bridge & Summit Tour (a 3.5-hour outing that ascends White Pass and features views of mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, and Boreal Forest — passports required), the Skagway City and Mountain Summit Tour (2–2.5 hours combining local history with the White Pass summit along the Klondike Gold Rush Trail), and the Scenic Waterfall Tour (a scenic bus route along the Klondike Highway with stops at Reid Falls and Bridal Veil Falls and informative commentary).
Southeast Tours also operates the Yukon Discovery Tour, a 6.5-hour exploration that visits Emerald Lake and includes lunch at a dog mushing training camp, and the Yukon Dog Sledding and Sightseeing Tour, a 6.5-hour trip featuring a 30-minute dog mushing experience with a professional Iditarod musher.
The business focuses on delivering clear tour descriptions, set durations, and specific highlights so travelers can select the right experience. Several tours cross the Canada–U.S. border via the Klondike Highway, and the company notes when passports are required. By offering both shorter city-and-summit options and longer Yukon discovery and dog-sledding excursions, Southeast Tours presents reliable choices for visitors seeking scenic viewpoints, historic routes, and direct encounters with dog mushing operations in the region.
