Description

Yukon is a vast wilderness of mountains, lakes and forests. The summers are short and bright (it never really gets dark), the days are long and warm. We fly to Whitehorse, and start the canoe trip on the Yukon River with the compass needle set north. From the excellent vantage point of our canoes on the mighty Yukon, we have great opportunities to spot Black Bears, moose and Bald Eagles nesting over the riverbanks. We camp in breathtaking and isolated locations before returning to civilisation at the gold-rush town of Dawson.
