Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Yukon Wildlife Preserve Review
If you're visiting the Yukon and love nature, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve is a must-see! Located just outside Whitehorse, this incredible sanctuary offers a unique opportunity to see northern Canadian wildlife up close in a natural setting.
The preserve spans over 700 acres, with large, spacious habitats for a variety of animals, including moose, muskoxen, elk, caribou, mountain goats, and lynx. The layout is fantastic, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace—either by walking, biking, or taking a guided bus tour.
One of the highlights is seeing the animals in an environment that closely mimics their natural habitat. The preserve focuses on conservation and rehabilitation, which adds to its appeal, knowing your visit supports the well-being of these species.
The walking trail is about 5 km, and it’s an easy, scenic route with plenty of opportunities to stop and observe. If you're lucky, you might even catch sight of some animals being fed or interacting naturally.
Staff are knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife conservation, making the guided tour an excellent option if you want to learn more about each species and the preserve's mission.
Tips for Visiting:
Dress warmly, as it can be quite chilly, even in summer.
Bring a camera—there are fantastic photo opportunities!
If walking, wear comfortable shoes. The path is well-maintained but can be uneven in spots.
The guided bus tour is great if you prefer a more relaxed experience.
Overall, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve is a hidden gem, offering a peaceful and educational experience with some of Canada’s most iconic wildlife. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it’s well worth the trip!

This morning my husband and my friend and I took the 11am bus tour of the wildlife preserve with Doug. The tour ran a bit long because we ended up getting Doug talking at many of the stops, his years of experience really shines through when he talks about all different aspects of life for the animals within the preserve. I mentioned that I really wanted to get some good photos of the Lynx and he made sure we did before we left that area - it was much appreciated! We visited in October so there was snow on the ground but it didn't make it any less enjoyable. $30 for a 90 minute bus tour is an amazing price, and since we went for the first tour of the day it ended up just being us! This was awesome and I shared all of my photos with my family and friends. This is a MUST see for sure for anyone who likes to see wildlife outside of a zoo setting. I'm not a zoo person, but this wildlife preserve/rehab centre non-profit was an amazing visit and I'm glad we made the trip!

Squeezed this in on a morning where the weather was turning rainy in the afternoon, and we're glad we did. It's a comfortable walk, and we learned a lot about the local floral and fsuna. Of course it was exciting spotting some of the more elusive animals ( lynx, elk). We happened to pair this with an indoor visit to the Beringia museum by the airport, which was a nice combo, as we then got a little more context about when these animals arrived here.
Thr views are spectacular of the surrounding mountains also!

Just a wonderful experience and all that I had hoped it would be! Pete was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable and patient with our many questions. We even saw the lynx as he knew just where to tip toe to on the path outside her enclosure. And there she was in a sunny glade enjoying the warmth and grooming herself before she padded away.
It was heart warming to see all the animals who either have been rescued or are descended from some who were. They can roam in the their huge areas and free from danger and predators. Just not the ground squirrels who sadly are an easy target for the roaming foxes.
We had a most wonderful day and have taken away such happy memories of this beautiful and peaceful place. Thank you.

Great place to see wild animals of the Yukon in their (almost natural) habitat. Too bad I was not able to see the caribous since they were on the other side of the inclosure. One of the moose came to see me at the fence.

Amazing tour with the guide caroll-ann. The animals have a lot of room to roam around. We could see the guide’s passion and her knowledge about the wildlife. I would recommend a tour with her.
We saw everything except from the lynx.

We took the 3+ mile walking tour around here to see the animals. We managed to spy everything except the lynx and fox, and we saw a wild (uncaged) fox anyway.
Ground squirrels galore. The moose were close and accessible, as were a lot of the sheep. The musk ox, bison, mountain goats, and elk stayed pretty far away from the walkway/road, but I mean - they're animals....that's OK. Also saw a kestrel fly through.
A nice place, we enjoyed our time. Staff very friendly.

Amazing opportunity to see wildlife in their natural surroundings amid the beautiful Yukon backdrop. We rode our bikes around the preserve, but it was certainly walkable too. Highly recommend.

We were greeted in the ticket office by a very enthusiastic and passionate gentleman who explained everything we'd be likely to see and what to look out for. Had a very enjoyable walk through the preserve and saw carribou, bison, mountain goats, a lynx, a moose, deer, thin horned sheep, muskox (that's a face that only a mother could love...but they were the highlight of my visit!) and lots of gophers popping up around the place. Highly recommend a visit here.

Hi, how much of this is possible to drive (like driving up to a trail head)? I want to hike of course, but my mom isn't as skilled with hiking so I want her to have an enjoyable time. Thank you so much!

I was wondering how bad the mosquitoes and other biting bugs are this year if we choose to walk?
Skrevet 18. juli 2018
Hi ! :) we haven't been annoyed by any mosquitos or anything during our visit there but it was raining this day so I don't know if it changes anything ?

I see that this is a 5 km walking tour. I am currently on the start of a journey to fitness, and while I hope to be in better shape for Sept-Oct of this year, I'm wondering about how challenging the actual walk is. Thanks!
Skrevet 18. februar 2017
I'm probably in the same boat as you! I don't feel like anyone who got driven around could comment accurately ;)
We walked the 5km loop and for the most part it was pretty flat, but there are some steep-ish parts and there was one portion in particular that I was glad we had come the clockwise way around, rather than the counter-clockwise route as it was pretty steep, and I wouldn't have wanted to climb UP that. Going down was fine!
The piece I'm referring to is the loop where the little arctic foxes, lynx, and mountain goats are. The whole trail looks sort of like a figure eight - it's the loop on the left-hand side of the map. I would recommend going clock-wise around this portion - so take a hard left and go past the muskox and mountain goats first, rather than the moose first. There are still some uphill bits going clockwise, but that way you go DOWN the big steep bit, rather than UP it! And just take it at your own pace, and stop and look at the animals along the way - they're a great excuse to catch your breath! You'll feel great about having walked the whole thing afterwards, good luck!! :)

Hello! I would have loved to do this tour on November 10 but I see that the date is not available... any reason?
It's unfortunately the only date I will be in that area and your tour seems fabulous.

Hi Sophie,
Thanks very much for your questions. Unfortunately we are indeed closed to the public on Thursdays. Our winter hours are Fri-Sun but you can contact one of our lovely travel partners including Northern Tales or Arctic Range to book a package including a visit to the YWP outside those dates. We also have a special tour called an Exclusive Experience you could look into via our website - it might suit your interests well.
Hope we can welcome you to the YWP through either of these options. Thank you very much for your interest in visiting us. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to give me a call or email me.

De fem beste stedene for å se nordlyset rundt om i verden
La oss bli litt nerdete et øyeblikk: Solsykluser varer rundt 11 år, med solstormer og elektromagnetisk aktivitet som når toppen midt i syklusen. Flere solstormer betyr fantastisk nordlys hyppig - og akkurat nå er vi midt i en solsyklus på sitt beste.
