Our tours provide a fun and memorable experience for both new and seasoned riders. No motorcycle experience is necessary—just a valid driver’s license.

Skagway Scooters was founded by Chris Paulson, an avid adventurer who completed a 30,000-mile motorcycle journey from Skagway to Ushuaia. Inspired by his love for travel and motorcycles, Chris started Skagway Scooters to share his passion with others. His wife, Kelsey, a native northerner, shares his love for adventure and the outdoors. Together, they explore the mountains, hike with their Siberian Husky, Shadow, and discover new camping spots.

Our mission is to inspire adventure through new experiences, forging friendships, and creating lifelong memories. Our tours offer a fresh and exciting way to explore the stunning mountain vistas and blue waters of the Taiya Inlet while learning about Skagway’s rich gold rush history.
