First off, Epic North Adventures is a tour group that cares about the safety of its clients. The first example is by delaying the tour to start slightly later due to the longer winter night and shorter daylight. It sounds simple but it is actually worth noting the experience of the tour company. Our guide Yu, is from Japan and has stayed in Yukon for almost a decade and has a vast amount of knowledge and history about the culture and wildlife of Yukon. Hence, my family and I had an incredible tour. I highly recommend those visiting Yukon to check them out!

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting Whitehorse. All of the arrangements made by Tobi and Cedric worked out perfectly. Travelling across in the luxury van throughout day and night, for which you deserve special thanks.
Overall, we were pleased with our itinerary: 4 days in Whitehorse, including our 3 nights tour to view Northern night at Aurora Basecamp. We felt we were able to see most of the major sights, but not exhaustingly so.
Thank you again.

We experienced a Northern Lights tour with another larger company the previous night, but this was a level above. Yuyu picked us up and 20 minutes later we were in a secluded area, freshly built and perfect for seeing the lights. Yuyu explained about the Light, took photos of us with the Lights (free) and then assisted us in taking our own photos. We captured many pictures with both a DLSR and mobile phone thanks to his assistance. Yu is a really nice guy and would highly recommend him for your Northern Lights experience.

8-day Grizzlies and Glaciers Tour (the Yukon and Alaska) for small groups.
Epic North Tours delivered what they promised. We had splendid photographic encounters with grizzlies and stunning views of glacier-topped mountains. Also enjoyed short hikes, visits to First Nations cultural centres, Whitehorse and environs, views of beautiful lakes and salmon spawning streams, plus a little kayaking on the side – all thanks to Rick, our knowledgeable guide.
Strongly recommended.

I booked multiple tours with Epic North in early June for a late August trip to the Yukon. They cancelled all three trips shortly before my trip due to low numbers. I had to scramble to find another company to save my trip. Truly a disgraceful way to run a business. Huge thumbs 👎👎👎

Dear Nick,
We want to extend our sincere apologies for the disappointing experience you had with Epic North Tours. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may have caused during your trip-planning process.
First and foremost, we would like to address the issue of the tour cancellations. We understand that having multiple tours cancelled shortly before your late August trip was incredibly frustrating and disruptive. We want to clarify that our decision to cancel excursions is not taken lightly, and it is always based on the minimum number of participants required for each tour to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests. Unfortunately, in a few instances this summer, we did not reach the minimum number of participants, which led to these cancellations. We understand the inconvenience and frustration this may have caused you, and we are genuinely sorry.
Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we take it to heart as we continuously strive to improve our services and ensure a better experience for our guests. We will be reviewing our booking and communication processes to prevent such occurrences in the future.
We understand that you had to make last-minute arrangements with another company, and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused you. We genuinely hope your Yukon trip was enjoyable despite these challenges.
Again, we apologize for falling short of your expectations and for any frustration this may have caused. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to enhance our services moving forward. If you ever consider giving us another chance, we'd be more than happy to assist you in planning an unforgettable experience in the North.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Tobi

KLUANE is spectacular. This excursion gives you a taste of the park. Guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The short hikes was beautiful. Worth the time and money.

We spent 3 days with Yu exploring Whitehorse and area. Did 3 tours. The above, Skagway and Yukon Gold. The scenery was spectacular! Yu stopped at all the best spots as well as whenever something caught our eye. He was very well informed and provided us with both history and stories of the area. Had an amazing trip!! Hundreds of amazing pictures. Our first trip to the Yukon…Thank you Yu, we will be back!!

When the White Pass Yukon Route Railway train from Whitehorse to Skagway was cancelled for 2022, I needed alternative transportation options for my trip.
I fortunately found the Skagway Explorer tour through Epic North.This trip takes you from Whitehorse to Skagway, making a number of interesting stops along the way (e.g. Emerald Lake, Forty Mile Rapids, Carcross, Carcross Desert and many more).
The owner of Epic was always responsive to my emails. He agreed to pick me up from Skagway midway through the tour and bring me back to Whitehorse. If it wasn't for them, I may still be stranded in Alaska!
Huge thanks to Yuya for being a great driver/tour guide. He is quite knowledgeable, personable and accommodating.
Thanks again for bringing me back to Canada!

We had great weather but trip had no pre planning explained, we didn't know where we were stopping or for how long, guide was patient, knowledgeable but didn't say much about trip ay all.
Drive destination was too long for a 10 hour day, only had one short hour in skagway.
The trip is overpriced

Hi Leora,
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip and the tour guide's knowledge.
Unfortunately, due to our exclusive location in the second-largest country in the world, we have to drive for a while to get to Alaska. Unfortunately, there is no shorter way to get there.
We inform all our guests a few days before the tour with information; the description of the experience can be found on our website as well as on the website of our partners.
Thank you again for choosing us, and safe travels!
