Tucked up in the northwest corner of Canada, the Yukon Territory is a paddler's paradise. A
short flight from Vancouver brings you to a vast, pristine landscape filled with unparalleled
wildlife viewing, rich First Nations culture and fascinating colonial history. The Yukon is a
"must do" destination for paddlers of any ability. We would love to host you this year for an
unforgettable journey in one of the last true wild places.
Perhaps one of the most famous river trips of all is the Yukon River. Your tour includes the
beautiful 30 Mile River section (Tägà Shäw in Southern Tutchone), which is part of the
Canadian Heritage River system. Experience the rich history of local First Nations and the
timeless story of the Klondike Gold Rush while exploring the artifacts along the way,
watching for wildlife or imagining what life must have been like "back in the day".
Beginning in Whitehorse, the trip starts with a short shuttle to Deep Creek. From there, we
then take a water taxi north across majestic Lake Laberge. Touching down at the end of the
lake, we'll unload and begin our SUP trip.
Expedition guides Norm Hann and Kalin Pallett will keep you entertained as we spend 5 days travelling 220 kms down this incredible stretch of water. The upper portion of the river offers excellent fly fishing and spin casting for Arctic Grayling, and the opportunity for bird watching and wildlife viewing is ever present. Answer the "call of the wild" on our paddling expedition down the Yukon.
This river expedition is a great step up from our Nisutlin RIver trip.or if you have previous technical river paddling skills. Although the Yukon does not have any rapids, it is a big volume river with boils that can be pushy and keep you on your toes. You will be required to carry all of your own camping gear including tent and sleeping bag but the rest of the trip is fully catered and all equipment included. Tent and sleeping bag rentals are available in Whitehorse if you require. If you are still not sure if this trip is right for you, just give Norm a call or send him an email.
