Spotting wildlife is one of the things that makes Yukon canoe trips such a tremendous joy. Animals in their natural habitats are some of the main attractions of Yukon tours. Caribou are a big draw, as are animals like the Hoary Marmot. And, of course, bears are perhaps the most fascinating animals for most visitors.

Yukon canoe trips can be a group experience, as group hiking tours are available from a number of outdoor companies. Or, if you prefer, you can head out own your own and explore the area yourself. There are designated areas that are ideal for canoeing and other adventure trips. It is important to take the necessary precautions if you plan on going alone, as entering into some areas will leave you completely isolated from any kind of assistance.

Planning Yukon Canoe Trips
Unless you live in the area, you most likely do not have the necessary equipment readily available for a Yukon canoe trip. Local tour groups can help you with this step. You can sign up for guided canoe trips in different areas of the Yukon, or, if you have your own agenda or want to go at your own pace, you can rent the required equipment from tour agencies and get information on the best places to go and what to do while there.

Yukon canoe trips offer the opportunity to try out a number of outdoor activities. Besides canoeing through incredible landscapes, you can go fishing, birdwatching, wildlife watching, or you can dock and go hiking and camping. If you would prefer not to sleep outdoors, there are numerous lodges and cabins available for visitors during the tourist season.
