What an amazing team at Sockeye Cycle! From the pre-ride communication from Bekah and Alex to the…read moreon-the-day experience with Clay and Jeff -- a fantastic team that truly cares about their guests. I'll go in reverse, starting with the excursion. My meeting spot was at their location on Fifth; super easy to find. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Clay, who would be my guide. He radio'd to Jeff what size bike I would need and all that good stuff. Whilst we were in the store, I learned about his background, his passion for adventures and Alaska. Not before long, we loaded into a shuttle with Jeff, who would drive us a few miles past the U.S. customs checkpoint to begin the tour. (Note: my tour had to be modified due to some things outside Sockeye's control -- aka, part of the train tracks undergoing maintenance.) We had a great chat on the drive up; it was like talking with friends. Once we got to the point of the bike start, there was a safety talk and a chance to ask any questions. I also learned that Jeff would meet us at a point a few miles away, just to ensure everything was good with the bikes, gear, etc. Sockeye does have windproof pants and gloves that you can use; I did end up taking them up on the gloves, as I quickly learned that mine were not great for wind. I truly appreciated that, otherwise my paws might've been a bit cold! I highly recommend this excursion, as you really get to enjoy the Klondike Highway and the outdoors. What I appreciated is that as a very small group, we were able to stop and take ample photos. Clay has a great knowledge of the area, the names of mountains, waterfalls, the valleys, etc., and is a brilliant guide. I feel confident that he could have answered all my questions, if I had more. I'm also grateful for his recommendation to walk out to Smuggler's Cove. I'd asked for how else I could spend my remaining time in Skagway and he'd suggested a wander out that way. (I also got to see him and some of the new guides heading out that way of a walk when I was on my way back. Love the fact that people do what they recommend!) For those looking to experience the area -- who appreciate the outdoors -- this is a must-do experience. Kuddos also to the Sockeye support staff, Bekah and Alex. They were great in communicating with me, letting me know that my original tour wouldn't be running as possible due to train track repairs, but gave me a few options for how we could make it right. I truly appreciate them for running this tour, even though with it being late April, it was a very intimate tour. I am very happy I did this experience when I did: I truly felt like the Klondike Highway was ALL MINE. Highly recommend if you're looking for a different way to see the area! Thanks for a wonderful experience in Skagway, Sockeye! 2025: 15/100

If you're looking for something to do in Skagway, highly recommend the combo White Pass…read morerailway/Sockeye tour. The train takes you up the White Pass to Fraser, B.C., and then the Sockeye folks show up with a trailer or prepped Treks. Perfectly geared for non-athletes to climb the one "unadvertised" hill . With some momentum and the excellent gearing even this 62 year old made it up! Our guides Cristal and Cousin Vinnie did an excellent job of matching the ride to varying skills. Honestly, when we got to gearing up and it started snowing I was having second thoughts about taking the sag wagon down. But I didn't, and had a really great time. Truly epic experience. Glad I didn't chicken out.

Exploring the Klondike Highway with the Mach-E was absolutely one of the best shore experiences…read morefrom our cruise! We very much enjoyed the flexibility to explore Skagway, BC, and Yukon at our own pace. The ride was incredibly comfortable, smooth, and zippy, and EV driving on mountain roads has the added benefit that downhill driving is very comfortable with one-pedal driving. The clear roof also offered a breathtaking view of the beautiful scenery the area has to offer. The ride was comfortable even with a group of 5. Nicole and her team have absolutely been a pleasure to work with! They made us feel comfortable with the car and the trip, and gave us many tips. Their shop honestly has the best collection out of all gift shops we've stopped at throughout our cruise. Also, Nicole's dogs are super friendly and cute!!! I'm very grateful to have the chance to rent the Mach-E at Klondike Electric Cars for such a one-of-a-kind experience.

THE best choice we made on our Alaska cruise! I read some iffy reviews on the sardine can train…read moretours and rolled the dice on renting a Mustang MachE EV for the day... WOW, it was AWESOME! The YouTube video first sold me on the independence and flexibility you get with your own car and then the customer service! This is a local "mom and pop" business and they are extremely helpful and welcoming. From emailing Nicole, the Owner with some goofy tourist questions, to getting a thoughtfully packed lunch and warm welcome from Jessica, we were more than impressed and lucky to go this route for our day in Skagway. The photo opportunities and memories we got would have never been possible on a train with hundreds of strangers. Pro tip: GO AS EARLY IN THE AM AS POSSIBLE! We got the Mustang at 8am and hit the road towards Emerald Lake. We beat most of the buses and tour groups to the stopping points and we got within 3-5 feet of bears feeding on the side of the road. Mountain Goats also were found along the mountainsides. Something you won't get on some train car filled with strangers... When we got to Carcross we had all the time we wanted to stroll the town and met nothing but friendly shop owners who were not worn out yet by the nonstop buses and trains for the day. When we got back to Skagway we met Uncle Mikey when we returned the car. He was super friendly and gave some tips on where to stop on our walk back to the cruise ship. By far the best choice for anyone who is looking for that independence and freedom from the tour groups. We had plenty of time to follow the provided binder of stop by stop self guided tour with a few hours to spare. We also switched drivers on the way back to get a chance to soak in all the amazing scenery, and there were a TON of pull outs and photo stops.

Definitely where I'll always go for a bike tune up, great staff that does a great job…read more Best bike shop in town!

We have booked on our own with them out of Skagway. The guides are very friendly and knowledgable. Anna and Erin were out guides today - what a hoot they really were a perfect fit for our trip to Chilkoot Lake. Another great bonus with this company is that they seems very committed to community...
