Day 1: Touchdown in the Wild

Your guide will greet you in Whitehorse in the morning before heading to the floatplane base at Schwatka Lake. After loading our gear, we take off for a breathtaking 30-minute flight following the Yukon River and Lake Laberge to our starting point at Lower Laberge.

Upon arrival, we set up camp and explore the historical remains of what was once a bustling trading post.

Each morning starts with a hearty Yukon-style breakfast before we embark on our canoe journey down the mighty Yukon River.

Days 3–5: We fully embrace wilderness life—paddling through breathtaking landscapes, gathering wood for campfires, and trying our luck at fishing. A freshly caught fish is always a welcome treat!
Day 6: After five days deep in the wild, we arrive at Carmacks, the end of our canoe trip. A scenic drive along the Klondike Highway brings us back to Whitehorse, where we bid farewell to an adventure that will stay with us forever.
