Important Notes for Dempster Tour Packages:  

  • These packages are  based on people sharing accommodations in a  standard cabin unit with kitchenette and private bath.  Let us know if  you require 2 beds in your room.  Sorry!  No King size beds.  Solo traveller supplement is $400.
  • Tour groups range from 2-10  people.  We can also take larger groups.
  • We can add on your flight from Vancouver or Whitehorse to Dawson City.  If you are flying with Air North to Dawson City make sure you arrive the previous day, not the morning of your tour.   In the case of morning fog in Dawson which would prevent the plane  from landing you would still have time to take the afternoon flight from  Whitehorse and be ready for your tour the next day.  (Air North will  let you know in Whitehorse on the day of your flight if there is fog in  Dawson City.) 
  • If any given tour in this package is not possible due to weather or unforeseeable circumstances we will do our best to substitute one  activity for another,  but no refunds will be issued. 
  • We highly recommend that you obtain travel insurance in case of a medical emergency or unexpected travel  interruptions.  We have a 30 day cancellation period and we do adhere to it.
  • Delays on the Dempster might occur if road conditions are poor or  the ferries are unable to run. Please be flexible and patient. We will  do our best to stay on schedule.
