Grounded in local knowledge and passion for the land, Yukon Roots Adventure Company offers small-group and private tours that bring travellers closer to the heart of the Yukon. Based in Whitehorse, this locally owned and operated company specializes in custom adventures designed to immerse guests in the Yukon’s landscapes, culture, and wilderness traditions - always with a personal touch.
Yukon Roots was founded on a simple philosophy: that every journey should connect visitors to the stories, people, and natural beauty that make the North so extraordinary. All tours are personally guided by owners Nicole and Reuben Nielson. They offer a welcoming and flexible approach, tailoring each outing to the interests and pace of the group. Whether it’s a day on the river or a guided hike through alpine terrain, guests experience the Yukon through authentic local eyes.
Among their signature experiences are private hiking tours to destinations such as Spirit Canyon, Grey Mountain, and International Falls. These outings combine breathtaking views with rich local insight, showcasing the territory’s wild beauty while providing snacks, comfort, and care throughout the day.
For those drawn to the Yukon’s waters, guided fishing trips invite travellers to reel in lake trout or northern pike on peaceful lakes surrounded by pristine wilderness. All gear and expert guidance is provided, making the experience accessible to both seasoned anglers and first-timers.
Their Yukon River and Lake Laberge boat tours offer another unforgettable perspective - a 4.5-hour journey along one of the North’s most storied waterways. Guests can explore local history, spot wildlife, and learn about hidden landmarks that shaped the region’s past.
Yukon Roots also provides sightseeing shuttle tours to popular destinations such as Whitehorse, Carcross, and Haines Junction. Each private tour blends comfort and flexibility, with opportunities to encounter wildlife, visit cultural sites, and enjoy the open landscapes at an unhurried pace.
For visitors seeking seamless travel logistics, the company’s personalized transportation services ensure comfortable and flexible travel throughout the Yukon.
From start to finish, Yukon Roots focuses on creating meaningful, easygoing adventures guided by friendly Yukoners who know the land intimately. Their tours are ideal for FIT clients, small groups, and visitors seeking an authentic connection with the North.
