About operator:
Transportation and tours between Haines, Alaska and the Yukon on one of the most remote and beautiful drives in the world. With Hinterland Express you travel in a small group size (max 9 passengers) with a local owner/operator Haines citizen who has traveled the world and speaks several languages. I look forward to sharing this magnificent drive with you.
