What people are saying about Whitehorse

Excellent excursion. Magnificent landscape, endless expanses. Balm for the soul of a Central European who sometimes feels restricted. Excellent driver/guide named Yuya.

Not clear pickup time made us be ready a half hour before real pickup. Excellent animals except some too far away. Little too long at the hot springs.

The hot spring was an average one. It’s better to focus on visiting the conservation center which is wonderful and excellent.

Incredible. I have no words to describe Kluane and the Yukon!!
