“Alaska Mountain Guides, quite simply the best.”

get to know us
Our story begins right here in Southeast Alaska, with roots stretching back more than 30 years, we’ve spent decades sharing the incredible landscapes, wildlife, and adventures of this remarkable corner of the world with visitors from around the globe.
Our roots run deep in the communities of Skagway and Haines, where our locally owned and operated companies, Alaska Mountain Guides and Chilkat Guides, have spent decades exploring the mountains, rivers, and waterways of Southeast Alaska.
Today, the same local knowledge and love for Alaska are at the heart of Skagway Excursions, connecting visitors with unforgettable experiences in the place we’re proud to call home.
Adventure is what we do best. From wilderness hikes to sea kayaking, and unforgettable wildlife encounters, we founded a diverse collection of experiences that showcase the very best of Southeast Alaska.
Behind our adventures is a team of over 70 passionate guides and outdoor professionals who bring a wealth of experience from expeditions across the world. Their expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment turn every excursion into something memorable.
Our dedication to exceptional experiences hasn’t gone unnoticed. Since 2000, Alaska Mountain Guides and Chilkat Guides have received Princess Cruises’ Tour of the Year honors 12 times – a recognition of the care, professionalism, and passion we bring to every adventure.
