About Us
Yukon Wide Adventures was founded in 1991 under the name “Log Cabin Adventures Yukon”. In recent years the company developed into a very successful german and english speaking Yukon tour operator and outfitter.
In 2008 and 2009 Yukon Wide Adventures was awarded the “Yukon Tourism Award of Excellence, Marketing Innovation Award”. YWA received this Award from the Tourism Industry Association of the Yukon for the outstanding and creative work in serving tourism. Already in 2007 Yukon Wide Adventures was approved by National Geographic to be listed as one of the “Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth”.
We provide year around wilderness outdoor activities. Our services include the planning of individual tours, canoe/kayak- and equipment rentals, all transportations, motorhome and camper rentals as well as accommodation in Log Cabins. We offer professional canoe, hiking, wildlife and custom-made guided tours Yukon-wide. Next to our year around guided tours we offer a variety of typical Yukon winter activities to give you an experience that last a lifetime.
At the end of 2003, the company was taken over by Thomas de Jager. With more than 40 years of kayaking experience and more than 100 nationally and internationally successfully completed competitions in kayak whitewater and slalom, he is able to provide both experienced canoeists and canoe beginners with his knowledge and skills. Thomas is in possession of a Canoe Sport Instructor C License of the German Olympic Sports Federation and has trained for several years the young talents of the Monheim Canoe Club 1972 e.V.
In 2024, Yukon Wide Adventures was acquired by Elevation Sled Dogs, founded by Aaron Peck, a seasoned musher with over 30 years of experience and 10 Iditarod races under his belt. This acquisition led to the creation of Yukon Wide Wilderness Adventures, combining the expertise of both organizations to provide top-tier outdoor experiences and establish a dominant presence in the Yukon adventure market.
Committed to showcasing the pristine wilderness and rich biodiversity of the Yukon, Yukon Wide Adventures focuses on small-group trips for an intimate and immersive experience. The company also offers equipment rentals, including canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and camping gear, as well as ground and air transportation, RV rentals, and log cabin accommodations.
Based in Whitehorse, Yukon Wide Adventures is recognized as a leading adventure tour provider in the region, renowned for its high-quality services, commitment to safety, and dedication to unforgettable wilderness experiences.
