Anchorage to dawson city
Is there s tour which doesn't require you to drive yourself
Yes — there *are* guided tours that transport you from Anchorage into the Yukon including stops at Dawson City, so you wouldn’t necessarily have to drive yourself the whole way. Here are some good options + what to check.
Tour options:
- Ruby Range offers a “Northern Highlights: Sightseeing Tour from Anchorage to Whitehorse” that includes a stop in Dawson City. It is a guided hotel-tour with all transport included.
- Anderson Vacations has a “Classic Yukon & Alaska” tour that includes Anchorage → Denali → Yukon → Dawson City in a multi-day format.
- Adventures.com lists “Best of Yukon & Alaska – Hotel & Camping Van Tours” which begin in Whitehorse and go to Dawson City and beyond, offering guided transport (though you may still need some transfers).
What to check / ask when comparing tours:
- Starting point and end point: Some tours start or end in Anchorage, some in Whitehorse. Make sure your pick-up and drop-off work for you. (Ruby Range starts in Anchorage and goes to Whitehorse, with Dawson City included.)
- Transport mode: Are you on a motor-coach/van the whole way? Or is some of the route “you drive”? The tours above seem to provide the transport so you don’t have to self-drive.
- Duration: These tours are long — multi-day (9 days in Ruby Range’s case) to cover Alaska → Yukon → Dawson. Ensure you have the time.
- Accommodation, meals & inclusions: Will hotels, breakfasts, guided stops, etc. be provided? What level of comfort do you want?
- Seasonality & logistics: The road conditions, border crossings, and remote nature of Alaska/Yukon mean you’ll want a reputable operator with experience.
Conclusion:
If you want to *not drive* and still visit Dawson City from Anchorage, a fully guided tour like the ones listed above is a practical solution. If your time is limited or you prefer more flexibility, self-drive might still be appealing — but yes, the guided transport option absolutely exists and is worth serious consideration.
