Alaska Mountain Guides

★★★★★Mary King

Fun canoe tour with Brayden! He was very knowledgeable about the area. We went to the most stunning lake, then we drove through Haines and he told us some local lore. Was a great time!

Booked the Klondike Rock Climbing Adventure through our cruise excursion and had such a blast. Tabby and Nick are both so lovely and hilarious and it was such a wonderful morning climbing with the crew with autobelay. We'll definitely want to try different activities (and different top rope routes!) with them next time we visit Alaska!

My daughter and I booked the Klondike Rock Climbing & Rappelling excursion in September off the Princess cruise ship. We had a wonderful experience. Kingsley was very professional and guided us and two Seniors to safely climb up the face of the mountain. I felt totally secure rappelling down and confident that the ropes and climbing gear would protect me. If the ropes can hold him, then it most certainly can hold 105 pounds of me! My daughter was experienced doing indoor rock climbing but had never rappelled down a mountain. Wish we had more time so that could learn how to hop down faster like the movies! Pure fun and challenging! I would do it again! And again... with Kingsley!

My wife and our friend did an Alaskan cruise in September and by far the kayaking excursion on Chilkoot Lake was our favorite part of the whole trip! We had some fantastic tour guides - Keeley, Cooper and Shepard. The lake is beautiful and we could see so many waterfalls and bald eagles from our kayak. Seeing the salmon was also a neat add. Overall, what made this trip great was being with some young folk who were personable and funny. The trip to and from the ferry boat was filled with laughter and fun facts about the Haines area. I can’t say that I would come back and do this exact excursion again only because this was my first time to Alaska, so I want to be able to check out other parts of this beautiful state. What I can say is that I would do another excursion with this group of tour guides! They are so much fun and knowledgeable. I’ll never forget this experience with them, my wife, and friend.

Fun but.... Be aware. Just being in Alaska was enough to make it amazing. Unfortunately, I feel the need to express my disappointment with the kayaking portion of our trip. It was supposed to be a 2 day trek - Kayak and then Hike to a Glacier. Sadly, on the first day there was no attempt or even a mention of the possibility of going to the glacier. Instead, before we even got on the water, we were presented with two options. We could go 4 MI and camp or 7 mi and camp but if we went to 7 mi camp and weather changed we would end up carrying our kayaks back because there was no way to get picked up. I suggested we head to the 7 Mile camp to see how things go and head back if the weather changed at all or, just head back to the 4 Mile camp to 'overnight' just in case. At about the Three Mile Mark we were told that we were going to camp at the 4 Mile point and maybe have a hike in the morning before we returned in the kayaks. This was the decision after being on the water for just over an hour. The 'potential' for bad weather was a recurring theme despite the weather being calm and beautiful for 2 days. I didn't push the issue because it seemed clearly pre-decided that that was what was going to happen. There was no weather or other related reasons for not kayaking further. (see Pics) Again, Just being in Alaska was enough to make it amazing, despite camping on a public beach filled with people and stray/unattended dogs. Certainly not the kayaking/camping adventure I was expecting or paid for. At least be upfront that 'potential' weather could alter your amazing trip and have a reasonable 'Plan B'. That was a very expensive day on a public beach! My advice to anyone would be to avoid the sea kayaking trek and spend the day or two on the Fjord express. Save a bunch of money and see a lot more. I am sure if your day cruise gets cancelled "plan b" won't be: "Well, you can look at the pictures on our website"
