Yukon Territory - Big Salmon/Yukon River Trip, Whitehorse Area Canoe and Kayak Outfitter List

These are all the outfitters located in the greater Whitehorse, Yukon area I could find that specialize in canoe and kayak type outfitting (and not all have Web sites). "Hook and bullet" type hunting and fishing specialist outfitters are not included here.

Not all the Whitehorse outfitters listed below do trips on the Big Salmon or Yukon Rivers, though I've also added some outfitters from other areas of the country (and world) that list the Big Salmon River as one of the trips they offer. Some Whitehorse outfitters specialize in trips on other rivers in the Yukon, and some only go to rivers in other canoeing areas (NWT or farther away), some of which may be a good distance from their main office in Whitehorse. Such outfitters are included here for completeness, plus as a contact in case they can help a Big Salmon or Yukon River paddler in some way. They may also add the Big Salmon and/or a Yukon River trip to their scheduled list in the future, or help viewers looking for trips on other than the Big Salmon and Yukon Rivers. If I missed some qualifying outfitters that you know of, let me know via this hank@canoebase.com link.
