    The guides here clearly make all the difference. Reviewers consistently praise staff by name—Benjamin, Caroline, Stella, Pat, Roy, and many others—for their knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care. Whether it's someone helping a 75-year-old hiker manage the heat, bringing hot coffee to guests on a chilly glacier, or extending a tour when timing didn't match expectations, the personal attention stands out. The operation offers everything from Kennecott Mill tours to multi-day wilderness adventures, glacier hikes, ice cave explorations, and rafting trips. The experiences range from accessible half-day outings to seriously challenging multi-day treks that reviewers describe as "not for the faint of heart." Guests appreciate that guides adapt to their group's needs and abilities while keeping safety front and center. The mill tours get special mention for being both informative and entertaining, with access to restricted areas you can't see on your own. People leave with what one reviewer perfectly called "core memories"—the kind of Alaskan adventure that feels both thrilling and remarkably well-supported.

    The 4-Day Basecamp hiking trip with SEAG was the best part of our travels in Alaska. The entire staff is extremely welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable, and made our trip planning a breeze! Our guide Charlie was super knowledgeable about the terrain and history of the Wrangells and taught us many backcountry skills throughout our trip. He was always making sure we were comfortable and having fun. After our return from the backcountry, Charlie showed us around town and had great recommendations for activities to continue our adventure during our free days in McCarthy. Booking with SEAG is must if you are visiting McCarthy, AK wether you are looking for a short 1 day activity or a multi day expedition you will be in good hands! Thanks a ton to Anya, Charlie, and all of the staff at SEAG for making our trip and unforgettable experience!!
