Overview

Come for a 4X4 shuttle ride on Scenic Mining roads and trails and learn to Pan for Gold with us (in warm water).

We are the only licensed and permitted tour to take guests up Historic Healy Creek in the active & reclaimed mining areas.

Your guide will share with you the beautiful area, and history of the original Gold Prospectors who blazed a path in this wilderness fuelling the Coal Rush and continuing mining operations of today.

Your Guides will describe the geology of the area, how gold was formed, and demonstrate how prospectors searched for gold. You will then head to our Gold Panning Site, where you will learn to pan gold with paydirt obtained from the highest producing local gold mine in the region, guaranteed to find you gold.

The panning site has warm water panning troughs to keep your “Chechako” fingers from getting cold. Beware, Gold Fever is a real thing, and you may find the desire to change your career or retirement plans when you see the glimmer of gold in your pan.
