Top things to do in The Yukon
Explore Kluane National Park
Protecting more than 22,000 sq km of mountains, glaciers and wilderness, the Kluane National Park & Reserve is a paradise for walkers, fishers and birdwatchers. An easy way to view the park's scenery is on a 60-minute flight, taken from either Whitehorse or Haines Junction. For those who want to experience the park from ground level, join a 4-hour guided walk through the park on the Cottonwood Trail, passing Icefield Ranges, Kathleen Lake and King's Throne mountain.
Visit Whitehorse
The small city of Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon province and gateway to the dramatic wilderness. Highlights of Whitehorse include a trip on the restored sternwheeler SS Klondike, one of the largest used on the Yukon river; the MacBride Museum, offering an insight into the gold rush, First Nations and intrepid Mounties of the Yukon; and the Old Log Church, the only log cabin church in the world.

Mr and Mrs Dewing"
"The welcome and friendliness of the Chilean people coupled with their civilised attitude that is modelled on the UK, was inspirational. The scenery from the Atacama to Patagonia is just overwhelming.
Mr Derek Lester"
"The acommodation and game drive arrangements were first class and the ranger went out of his way to get us in the best positions to view the wildlife and his knowledge was amazing. At Isandwhana and Rorkes Drift the resident historian brought the battles to life to the extent that you almost felt you were there.
Mr Harvey Harrison"
"The first sight of Macchu Picchu through the clouds was amazing. The descending cloud made a magical place all the more mysterious and mystic. Truly magical experience.

Mr & Mrs. Dewing"
"A truly fascinating holiday discovering the astonishing beauty of New Zealand."
"The guidance and advice you provided were invaluable. Your choice of locations, itinerary were all spot on. Your efforts in preparing your colleagues for our arrival and your kindness throughout were all fantastic. We truly have returned with the rich taste of both northern and southern India we had hoped we would experience.
Mr Alfandary"
"Thank you for all your organisation, help and advice in the booking of our holiday to Egypt. Many thanks to your team, who have made our holiday such a success.
Mr Rowlands"
"It's not possible to give one inspirational moment, so here's my top five! 1. Being selected to feed one of the wild dolphins at Monkey Mia 2. A fantastic day out with Sylia Mills looking at the wonderful wild flowers of the region. 3. Meeting so many friendly Australians on the AAT Kings coach trip, a great way to not only see Australia but also get a real insight into the Australian mind set. 4. Re-visiting the amazing Pinnacles with their weird rock formations. 5 Visiting Penguin Island on my last day, the first day the island was opened after the little penguin breeding season.
Dr Marilyn Kirby"
"A highlight was the Burmese people, who were so friendly. The holiday was a marvellous experience from start to finish.
Mr. Saunders"
"Registan Square in Samarkand - The sight was so extraordinarily beautiful it took our breath away, and we all stood silent for several minutes, just taking in the scene. I think this site is one of the wonders of the world.
Dr. Eva Simmons"
"The Hassan II Mosque, The Chellah Necropolis, Fes Medina and the Badia Palace in Marrakech were the highlights in a tour full of interesting and colourful experiences in a packed programme.
Mr Anthony Suggitt"
"Difficult to choose between the tracking and finding of desert elephants in Damaraland, and the safari drive in Erindi, where we saw a host of different animals and witnessed a kill (two cheetahs on a springbok). Both expeditions were enhanced by the jeep drivers who showed enthusiasm, persistence and knowledge.
Ms Sarah Dearman"
"It was all incredible and the organisation was excellent. The knowledge of the guides made the holiday inspirational for we were taken back in time and had a glorious picture painted of the Moghul era and Rajput era. The guide for the taj mahal was inspired and we were caught up in the romance and historical truths. In Jaipur the Amber fort was described superbly as well as Fatehpur Sikri. The excellence of the Delhi guide has stayed with us into our long term memory. This is a standard of high scholarship and deeply engaging presentation.
Mrs Kiron Wilcox"
