Itinerary of your trip Spirit Of The Yukon: Teslin River

  • Day 1 Day 1: Arrival In Whitehorse
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Arrival In Whitehorse

      Welcome to Whitehorse! Your guide will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your downtown hotel. In the afternoon there will be time for an orientation and gear check, and a chance to pick up any last-minute supplies. (Overnight accommodation in Whitehorse) 

  • Day 2 Day 2: Whitehorse - Teslin/Yukon River
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Whitehorse - Teslin/Yukon River

      In the morning, a shuttle van will meet you at your hotel room. Weโ€™ll head south along the Alaska Highway for about one and a half hours to our put in at Johnsonโ€™s Crossing. Your guide will teach you some basic paddling techniques, and then itโ€™s time to hit the river. Our first day will be a short paddle to one of many possible camping spots along the river. The river is slow and gentle here, making it a safe and comfortable place to learn. (Overnight accommodation at wilderness campsite) 

  • Day 3 Day 3-9: To 10: Teslin River
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3-9: To 10: Teslin River

      Over the next week we will cover more than 350km of this quiet, scenic river. Weโ€™ll encounter a winding mix of mostly gentle current with a few faster sections and riffles (all less than class II), which your guide will show you how to navigate safely. We will be camping on gravel bars and wilderness sites, leaving minimum impact on the land. Evenings are a chance to swim in the river, fish the shoreline, and enjoy campfires and fine camp cooking. If time allows, we may take short hikes into the surrounding hills to search out wild berries and sunset views. The Teslin River flows into the Yukon River at the abandoned trading post at Hootalinqua, and for the last few days of the tour we will travel on the Yukonโ€™s most famous river. History is tangible as we pass relics of paddle-wheelers, trapperโ€™s cabins, mines, and trading posts, now overgrown and returned to a state the first newcomers to the territory might have recognized. (Overnight accommodation at wilderness campsites)

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm
