Welcome to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory! Your tour guide will meet you at the airport, introduce you to your fellow travelers, and take you to your hotel. There, you will receive a detailed briefing about the trip ahead.

Today we're driving north on the Klondike Highway to the world-famous Gold Rush town of Dawson City. Along the way, we'll enjoy spectacular views of the Yukon River, one of North America's longest waterways at approximately 3,200 kilometers. We'll stop at the infamous Five Finger Rapids and make several stops at old post offices, rest stops, and villages that give the area its unique northern character.

This legendary town was the epicenter of the famous Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Immerse yourself in Dawson's history and try your luck at historic gold panning. A visit to Bonanza Creek, the Jack London Cabin, the Dawson City Museum, and the Midnight Dome are all on the itinerary. Stroll through the town and soak up the historic atmosphere. In the evening, a visit to the casino awaits. Here, you're sure to be entertained by the Diamond Tooth Gertie's can-can dancing and humorous performances.

Today your journey on the legendary Dempster Highway begins! As far as the eye can see, you'll experience the pristine tundra landscape, home to countless caribou, moose, and bears. This 730 km long gravel road is the only road connection to Inuvik. People from all over the world come here to experience it in its entirety. On our way to Eagle Plains, we'll drive through the impressive Tombstone Territorial Park. With a bit of luck, we'll see the imposing dark peaks of the mountain range there.

Early in the day, we cross the Arctic Circle and celebrate with a small ceremony. Another mountain range, the Richardson Mountains, lies ahead before we reach the Arctic coastal tundra and the communities of Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic (scenes from the epic story of the Northwest Mounted Police and the "Lost Patrol"). Our final destination for today is Inuvik, the heart of the Western Arctic and home to the Inuvialuit people. Translated from their language, the name "Inuvik" means "place of the people." From here, we will explore the Arctic coast.

Today we're driving north on the recently completed road to visit Tuktoyaktuk, an Arctic coastal village. During our tour, we'll be captivated by the fascinating pingos rising from the tundra. At this unique site, we'll learn about First Nations history. If you don't know what a pingo or a muktuk is, you'll find out today.

Before we begin our return journey to Whitehorse, there will be an opportunity to visit the igloo church in Inuvik. Upon arrival in Whitehorse, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure.
