"Thanks to the whole team at SEAG! Michael and Steven were awesome - struck a perfect balance of professionalism and enjoying a fun day out with a group that was similar in age and interests to them. Props for the thorough belay safety checks, and explanations of anchor systems etc. We were lucky to have them!"

"The full day hike absolutely blew our minds away. From the informational hike to the glacier, to the incredible sight seeing while on the glacier, we felt safe and stimulated the entire time. To boot, the blue pool jump will be an experience I will have for life. Thank you!"

"Our Full-Day Nizina Canyon rafting trip was an excellent adventure. Our guide knew the river well and his expertise was obvious. Seventeen miles and 5 hours of rafting the river followed a short flight-seeing trip back to McCarthy proved that the St Elias Alpine Guides are experts in their field. The lunch provided was outstanding, the whole trip was well-organized and lots of fun."

"Our guide Max was great! He made sure that we got the best experience. He went above and beyond to show us the lovely blue pools and all the beauties of the glacier. He served us hot chocolate which was such a nice surprise and wonderful experience. St. Elias guides are the best, highly recommend!"
