Holidays in Yukon offer hidden gems of the world

Yukon holidays are home to historic sights, wildlife sightings and adventure. Hire a canoe and paddle along the giant 2,000 mile-long Yukon River in the summer and immerse yourself in the scenery from a different perspective. The snow-filled winter months make for a picturesque visit with plenty of activities, including dog sledding. If you visit Yukon in January or February, be sure to watch the Yukon Quest, a 1,600km international dog sledding race from Fairbank, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon.

Cross the Arctic Circle and witness the spectacular northern lights, enjoying landmarks such as the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline en route. Want to enjoy an up-close encounter with a bear? Why not take a hike along Cottonwood Trail? Just remember to bring your bear mace with you.

Enjoy local Yukon cuisine during the summer months at the ever popular Klondike Rib and Salmon Restaurant, which can be found in the region’s capital, Whitehorse. Delicacies include elk stroganoff, Alaskan halibut, bison meatballs and the renowned smoked salmon on bannock.

If you wish to expand your Yukon holiday then we recommend you begin your journey in the fantastic British Colombian coastal city of Vancouver. Stay in a luxurious hotel, explore this lively city and enjoy the best of a twin centre itinerary.
