He took us to all the great spots up to the Yukon. We saw multiple bears and eagles (please keep in mind that a tour guide cannot guarantee that). Thanks, Bryan and M & M Tours. We would gladly travel with you again!!! The German Guys

Again so much pride in the town they live in, thank you all so much for our experiences. We highly recommend this excursion to see the forest and river. Rob and Renee

While not typical cruisers, we chose an Alaskan cruise for a more economical way of visiting…read moreAlaska. As independent adventurers, we felt the excursions they offered from the ship seemed a bit mild, and wanted more. So we decided to look for something more adventurous. As seasoned Jeep owners and off-roaders it was a no brainer to book with DIY Jeep Tours (formerly Alaska Green Jeep Tours) Not only do you get the Jeep (all were new and well maintained...ours was a 2017 model) for the day, but you also receive a guide that provides mile by mile (kilometer by kilometer) directions for your day of exploration. It's self guided, so you can go at your own speed and stop when you'd like for all of the photo opportunities. If you head up to BC and then on to Yukon (remember your passport!) and return, you're looking at a 3 hour round trip. Plenty of time for stops. We'd recommend following the guide but also doing a little exploring of your own. For instance, the guide doesn't say much about heading toward Dyea, which is where the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park is located (instead of going 'right' out of the city, you take a 'left' toward Dyea). Although I'd head toward the Yukon first, if you have time (which you should), definitely check that area out as well. If you're sick of the crowd on the cruise ship, want to go your own speed, and don't mind driving yourself, renting from DIY Jeep is for you.

When I reported that the iPad did not work, I was given an excuse about it being the end of the season or sometimes people allow their children to play with it and mess them up.I was also told, they usually don't work anyway by the person who checked in the vehicle. I could have rented a car for a lot less but paid the additional money for the guided tour which I did not get.

Easiest car rental of my ENTIRE LIFE!!!…read more Traveling to remote areas can be a challenge and my normal car rental chain is not available here. Booked a car through their website but was unable to travel due to the weather (sea plane had poor visibility and had to come a day LATER). Most car rental places would have charged me anyway but they were understanding and moved my reservation to the next day, When I arrived they sent me a text asking if I made my flight and to let them know when I land. I landed and sent the text. BEFORE MY SUITCASE was ready for pick up he was at the airport with my car! No paperwork to sign! And told me to just park the car at the airport when done, leave the key inside, and send him a text! Amazing service!

We saw other boats who caught zero fish. Captain Joe, who has 20 years' experience, is clearly the reason! Additionally, Captain Joe made sure his boat and critically, his bathroom, were clean. There was a group of 4 beer-drinking guys who had a half-day tour before us, and he made sure he the bathroom so I felt comfortable using it! This is a family-based company, and his mom handles the reservations. She is super friendly! Summer is the busy season, so I had to email her twice to request a booking... It was more than worth it! I highly recommend Joe and Fat Salmon Charters. His experience is what made this trip so awesome!

My wife and I hiked to Laughton glacier with Austin and Sam in June 2026. This one of the most…read moreamazing experiences we have ever had. Austin and Sam were incredibly prepared. We were given a pack with water, snacks, and our lunch at the start then stopped at the trailhead to get ice creepers and hiking poles (these are optional, but I highly recommend them - you'll want them at the glacier). Sam and Austin both carry massive packs with anything you could ever want - rain gear, gloves, extra snacks, first aid kits, rescue gear, and everything that would be needed in case of some freak accident trapping us on the trail. And as an added bonus, Sam and Austin both worked as EMT/Paramedics at the fire station in Skagway. They are more than prepared for anything that could happen. The trail is a fairly simple there and back - if you semi regularly do day hikes, you'll be good! As you hike you watch how the forest changes over time after a glacier retreats. Even if you're not into the science of it, it's a beautiful hike. Austin is a wealth of knowledge and can tell you everything you could ever want to know about the glacier and the forest. The trail seems to be fairly underutilized - Packer Expeditions are the only ones that lead hikes out there, so Sam and Austin take a lot of ownership of the trail. It's refreshing to see people that love the place they live and work so much. This was an extremely memorable experience and needs to be on everyone's bucket list

Prepare for a long review of a very long day! So our day started on a very windy day where we were greeted by 2 of our three guides. From there we walked to the train. It was right through town and we got a mini walking tour of the history. It was super cool because they also pointed out the fun places to try on the way back afterwards! We then arrived to the white pass railroad train. This is where we met up with our final guide. Now comes a memorable moment, the infamous train ride. We road it for about 14 miles till our trailhead. It becomes real when you get off the train and then the train just leaves you there. Once we arrive our three guides prepared sandwiches for us all for the journey. This is when a mind blowing part hit me. All three of them were carrying 60+ pound full backpacks filled with extra water, snacks, rain gear, medical equipment, and so much more. Like you legitimately could choose to do a hike and bring honestly nothing and these guys will carry it all. Throughout the hike when it got hotter they even offered to carry peoples jackets. Honestly mind blowing because it was a fun and challenging hike. Overall the hike was fun! They stopped several times to point out plants and teach us things about the area. They also made sure to stop at all the fun photo spots! The next thing was at every stopping point they encouraged everyone to go as far as they personally can go. Meaning if you can't make it to the glacier, totally fine! They had three guides and one will always stay back with you. Honestly the views are unreal! Overall I'm so happy this company partners with all the cruise lines. I experienced some of the best hospitality and also a handful of dad jokes throughout the trip. Some of the most incredible people work here who are beyond proud of the wonderful city of Skagway. It's fun learning about the city from them! I can't wait to return and do another excursion with these guys.
