It was fortunate for us that we were able to board the Paddlewheeler as it was the Last Tour of the Last Day before this Historic vessel closed for extensive restoration. We thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour and history detailing its purpose, route and obstacles down the Yukon River to Dawson City and the fate of S S Klondike I.

The SS Klondike was a riverboat that ran on the. Yukon river for years. There were several boats that looked just like this one. There is also one in Dawson city. This site had a short film, a interpreter and a visitors center full of books about the history of the boats and the Klondike gold rush. The boat is easily accessible as Whitehorse is pretty small. Well worth a visit

Fun history lesson from the Yukon. This boat is a great experience that allows you to traverse all levels and see all the different spaces.

I'm surprised this isn't higher on the TripAdvisor list of top things to do in Whitehorse. If you like history and the Yukon, you will love this. Have also been to the S.S. Keno in Dawson City, it is neat to compare the two as this is one of the larger paddle wheelers from the era.

Unfortunately it was closed for renovations when we visited in Sept 2022 but there was an informative movie in one of the buildings onsite. A well-preserved piece of Klondike history.

I did not go in, but did explore outside the S.S. Klondike. I got to read up on the boat and how it came to rest here.

The SS Klondike story is a compelling one - a great inexpensive tour by Jared (Parks Canada employee) detailing the history of riverboats and their use in the gold rush. There's also a little movie you can watch.
Unfortunately, we couldn't go in as we were told that inside tours were suspended because of Covid.

Beautiful place to stop. Right by the river. Great photo opportunities there! Ask questions as park workers very knowledgeable.

Stopped by upon arriving in Whitehorse. The ship was supposed to have the restoration work finished by this month(according to the Parks Canada employee), but it looks like it’s far from being completed. You can walk around on a self guided tour with a brochure ($2.50). You cannot go inside or on the ship. A lot of construction work and fencing surrounds it. Interesting history, and the scenery around the river is very nice. Lots of parking, small gift shop, movie available.

What is the cost for a large group tour? Do I purchase group tickets prior to visit or when we arrive? Snaks or food available on site.
