Shane BelangerShare
Looking to make your trip to Skagway, Alaska, one to remember? Alaska X has you covered. This locally-owned adventure company offers some of the most exciting and authentic Alaskan experiences available—from zipping through rainforest canopies to standing face-to-face with ancient glaciers.
Here’s a look at what makes Alaska X one of the top excursion operators in Southeast Alaska.
🚁 Glacier Point Wilderness Safari
This is the one for your bucket list. You’ll take a scenic boat ride, hike through old-growth rainforest, and then paddle across an iceberg-filled lake—landing just steps from the towering Davidson Glacier. The views? Unreal.
🐾 Sled Dogs and Puppy Cuddles
Visit Musher’s Camp®, where you can meet real Iditarod mushers, ride behind a team of energetic sled dogs, and even snuggle with husky puppies. Whether you’re 5 or 85, this is one of the most heartwarming (and Instagram-worthy) tours in Skagway.
🌲 Ziplining Through the Rainforest
If you’re craving a little adrenaline, Alaska X delivers with the Grizzly Falls Zipline Expedition. You’ll soar through treetops, cross sky bridges, and fly over waterfalls on a guided zipline tour that blends thrill with epic views.
🏛️ History Meets Adventure in Dyea
Some excursions combine culture and fun. Take a stroll through the historic ghost town of Dyea, once a booming Gold Rush settlement, then cap it off with a sled dog ride. It’s a great way to get a feel for Skagway’s past while making new memories.
