Cross the Lynn Fjord, paddle Chilkoot Lake in a guided voyageur canoe, and enjoy a beachside lunch on this Skagway adventure.
About this tour
Trade Skagway’s streets for the wild waters and mountain scenery of southeast Alaska on this Skagway Voyageur Canoe Safari. A high-speed catamaran carries you across the Lynn Fjord to Haines, where the journey continues along the coast and up the salmon-rich Chilkoot River to Chilkoot Lake.
After receiving equipment and instruction, head onto the lake with your guide in a motor-assisted voyageur canoe. Help paddle as you explore the lake’s quieter reaches, surrounded by striking mountain and ocean scenery. The outing ends with lunch on the beach before you return to Skagway by catamaran. Rubber boots, a personal flotation device, beverages, and rain ponchos when needed are provided, so you can focus on the landscape and the experience. A moderate level of fitness is recommended, and the tour operates in all weather, so dress for the conditions.
Choose this Skagway Voyageur Canoe Safari for a memorable mix of fjord travel, a guided lake adventure, and a relaxed meal beside the water.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.25 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Skagway
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
