Sean was very communicative, I must say. I asked him about what attractions there were in the City of Whitehorse and he was immensely knowledgeable. He even took us to the animal Preserve as a first-day trip before we actually get out to the viewpoints the day after. The viewpoints are spectacular. Unless you are a local person and has... More

If you are looking to experience amazing and breath taking views in hard to reach places, Backwoods 4x4 is for you! I was new to the Yukon when I did a tour with Backwoods 4x4 back in the Fall of 2010 and I was excited to be able to tour places that I would otherwise never have a chance to... More

The views were wonderful and the wildflowers wonderful. Just wished I had a proper camera to record so much! Sean was courteous and friendly and informative and a careful driver on those amazing backwoods roads that the jeep rode comfortably. Highly recommended!

The tour was wonderful! The views were beautiful and amazing. Sean, the tour guide was friendly, informative, interesting and considerate. I would never have been able to see the views from the tops of the mountains on my own. Totally worth the time and money. I was only a little disappointed that we didn't see any wildlife. Jackie M.

Sean delivered all I was hoping for and more. After working in adventure travel/sport for more that ten years, my expectations and standards were not only met but surpassed. From the moment of being picked up until being returned at the end of the day the atmosphere was one of friendliness and professionalism with the right mix of adventure and... More

Quite costly, but because we were four, it wasn't so bad. Even had we rented a vehicle we would not have gone where Sean took us and would not have seen the wonderful 360 view from the top. The 4X4 was new and spotless.

We were on our honeymoon and this was the last day we were in Whitehorse. We could not have imagined a better way to send our last day there. We felt so comfortable and the views we saw were amazing. Thank you Sean so much for the excellent tour. We would be happy to write any reviews or do a... More

View from the Top tour - The Jeep transport was cleen inside & out and quite confortable. We picked up drinks & lunch in Whitehorse before heading out onto an old copper mine trail that eventually led us up to a navigation station with 360 degree views of Whitehorse, fish lake and the Coast Mountains. We found Sean our guide... More

We stopped by Whitehorse in the fall and decided to do the sub-apline tour. Not being familiar with the area nor being comfortable about "off-road" driving, we would never have been able to see some of the places we got to see on this tour. Sean (the tour guide) is very friendly and passionate about the tour. We also got... More
