About Us

Alaska Wild Guides, based in Girdwood, is a family-owned and operated business. We offer a range of different tours from snowmobile tours to jet ski trips.

We keep our snowmobile and jet ski tour groups small to enable us to cover more ground and expose you to more of Alaska’s unique wonders. Our guide service is located at the base of Mt. Alyeska, Alaska’s premier ski resort, surrounded by the raw majesty of the Chugach National Forest. Take a look at our site and see if these adventures call you like the call of the wild. 

Why Us?

Our guides are experienced, Born and raised in Alaska, we are intent on giving our clients a personal wilderness experience of Alaska’s immense beauty on our backcountry trips.

Activities & Tours

Our Glacier Jet Ski tours are conducted on top of the line SEADOO GTI’s 130, which are environmentally efficient and carry enough power to put speed curls in your hair. Climb aboard and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime. These boats are very stable and can accommodate up to two passengers so parents can take a child with them between the ages of 8 and 16.

• Ten Glacier Jet Ski Tour: Depart directly from Whittier harbor and cruise 60+ miles of stunning coastline into Blackstone Bay, viewing up-to ten glaciers including two tidewater glaciers which produce icebergs that are the ideal habitat for harbor seals

Reviews

“We had an amazing time riding to Spencer lake and glacier. Awesome photo opportunities along the way. The owners and guides really care about everyone having a good safe time. We’ll definitely be back for more snowmobiling adventures”

“The Jet Ski tour is so fun and comfortable! My teenage daughter wanted to go and I didn't think it would be for me...I think I had more fun than her, and she was having an absolute blast!”

We offer visitors both multi-day and single-day snowmobile tours during the winter season from Dec 1 to April 20. Plus, we can tailor our tours to your skill level which means any of our snowmobile adventures are perfect for experienced and beginning riders alike.
