Overnight stay in Whitehorse.

After absorbing fascinating insights about the Yukon, our next stop will be the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, located approximately 25 kilometers outside the city. This sanctuary recreates a natural environment for all indigenous animal species of the North, with the exception of bears. We will have the opportunity to observe these remarkable creatures in their habitats, capturing mesmerizing photographs.

Beyond the enchanting elk and deer, we may also encounter bison, thin-horn sheep, mountain goats, polar foxes, caribou, and various other species.
In the afternoon, we will embark on the westward journey along the Alaska Highway, maintaining vigilant eyes to catch any glimpses of wildlife crossing our path. As we approach Kluane National Park, the majestic mountains will continually astound us with their ever-growing presence.

Kluane National Park, housing seventeen of Canada’s highest peaks and the world’s largest non-polar ice fields, stands as a vital component of one of the most significant UNESCO World Heritage sites. Alongside three other parks in British Columbia and Alaska, Kluane National Park holds the esteemed title of being the largest protected area on Earth.

We strongly encourage you to partake in the optional sightseeing flight, a remarkable opportunity to see the national park and its icy expanses. This breathtaking flight-seeing experience is available either in the evening of this day or the following morning, contingent upon favourable weather conditions.

Overnight stay in Haines Junction.

The afternoon will be dedicated to the breathtaking Haines Road, renowned for its scenic beauty. Connecting Haines Junction and Haines, Alaska, this road presents numerous opportunities for captivating stops.

One such stop will be Million Dollar Falls, a charming public camping ground situated in a former gold-digging camp. Capture mesmerizing photos of the cascading waterfall and enjoy the surroundings.

Haines Road is adorned with countless glaciers, leaving you spellbound by their awe-inspiring presence. Upon reaching Haines, we’ll check into our hotel, ready our cameras, charge batteries, and eagerly anticipate our first encounter with grizzlies fishing for salmon.

Our time in Juneau will consist of approximately two hours of exploration. Following that, we will visit Mendenhall Glacier, the local glacier of Juneau, where we will witness the rapid effects of climate change even in the northern regions.

We highly recommend booking this tour as soon as possible if you’re interested in visiting Juneau, as it tends to sell out frequently, and last-minute reservations are not feasible. (Can be booked as an add-on)
