Guided motorcycle tour 

Alaska, USA / Yukon, Canada guided motorcycle tour

Join us for a classic Midsummer Night's Eve motorcycle tour through the most beautiful parts of Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Following in the footsteps of the gold prospectors, we'll travel along the Klondyke and Alaska Highways, past the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. A ferry ride on the Marine Highway offers excellent opportunities to encounter the orcas and humpback whales that reside here in the summer. Denali National Park is known for its grizzlies and wolves. The cities of Anchorage, Seward, Skagway, Whitehorse, Dawson, and Fairbanks await you on this tour. Breathtaking wildlife sightings amidst a wild and magnificent landscape await you. You'll "ride" a guided tour with one of our experts as your tour guide and the iconic motorcycle brand.

We've prepared a well-planned tour for you, which includes a fair amount of riding miles each day, but also doesn't neglect the sights along the way. The motorcycles for our guided tours are mostly from Harley-Davidson® Authorized Rentals™. This means we have an excellent selection of the latest models, all perfectly prepared for you. As an added bonus, the entire tour will be accompanied by a van. This will accommodate all your luggage during the tour, and depending on space availability, companions can also ride in the van – for you, it's pure motorcycling!
