Itinerary

Your day begins with pickup at your hotel, or at the downtown Visitor Center, in our comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van. Pickups are between 7:45 and 8:30AM, depending on location. As we head out of Anchorage your guide will talk about the City's history and key points of interest. Journeying north on the Glenn Highway your guide will share interesting information about the Matanuska Valley and the various communities along the way. After about 30 minutes, the natural beauty of the drive takes over as we enjoy the view of the Talkeetna and Chugach mountains and, on a clear day, the Alaska Range. The Matanuska River is our companion as we ascend to the Matanuska Glacier and arrive for your guided hike.Ā  The glacier guides will outfit you with ice spikes and helmets (in the summer); there are also hiking poles available for your use. These guides are experts in what the glacier has to offer each day, as well as its natural history. There will be lots of opportunities for great photos! After your approximately 2-hour adventure on the ice we head next door for lunch at an authentic Alaska lodge with an epic view of the glacier. Heading home after lunch we have the option to pull of at some scenic points in case you haven't gotten enough pictures for the day. 8 hours - $249.00 Departs 8:30Ā am Included: Glacier access and guiding Not included: Lunch, gratuities

Phenomenal Glacier Tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

Booked a glacier tour for 4 adults with 907 Tour. Lori picked us up at a nearby hotel that was just 10 min from our rental house,,, so very convenient. Lori was an excellent driver, and gave us great information along the way about the communities that we were driving through, about the people who live here and the many different cultures here. All great information. We stopped in Palmer along the way which helped break up the drive. Bathrooms and snacks were available. Once we arrived at the glacier, Jason was our tour guide there. Wowā€”- what an awesome experience! Jason was so informative and allowed ample time to take pictures and explore along the trails. This was a new experience for us and we all loved it! We were dressed in our ski gear, several layers, and even had hand/feet warmers and a few of us were still cold. Our tour was on December 30th and it was 10 degrees, so dress appropriately! After the glacier tour, Lori drove her group to a nearby restaurant where we were able to sit down in a warm place and order a fabulous lunch. It was a nice break to visit with others in our group. This was a wonderful adventure for us all and we highly recommend 907 Tour!

Incredible Glacier & Incredible Tour Guide!

I took the Matanuska Glacier Hike Day Tour with Lori yesterday. It was an absolutely fantastic experience!! Lori is very on time to pick us up, accessible through phone and message, and bring us all back as time expected. We are blessed by the weather and it was not as cold when we hiked. I carry a DSLR camera and was able to take some amazing pictures. Lori took good care of everyone in our group and even stop by at places to let us take pictures. Definitely recommended! It was certainly a one in a lifetime experience.

What an experience!

What an incredible time this glacier hike was! I appreciated the communication before, during and after the tour from the company. If you do not have a hotel listed for pick up, I would suggest you call to confirm your pick up location. The pickup van was spacious and comfortable. Our tour guide Johnny was literally a human encyclopedia of all things Alaska, which was awesome! It truly felt like a friend or family member telling us tales and showing us the beauty that Alaska holds. The hike had me in awe the entire time. We did trek uphill in a portion of the hike but they did ask if everyone was comfortable prior to going forward. Our guide, Cable was incredible! She was very patient and knowledgeable and also made it fun! We had a larger than normal group with a little over 20 folks and she was able to take great care of us all. My favorite part was having a chance to drink the glacier water, OMG! I have never tasted anything so refreshing and delicious. I would encourage you to bring an empty water bottle. The hike was about 2 hours long and we were able to stop for pictures along the way. I was on a solo trip so it was nice that Cable or Johnny were available to take my pictures. If you want to take some glacier silt directly from the glacier, I would bring a mason jar so you can easily take it back home. After the hike, we went with Johnny to the nearby restaurant which was delicious. Highly recommend the glacial cheeseburger! Loved my time on the tour, with my group and Johnny. Donā€™t hesitate to enjoy this experience!

Glacier learning hike and experience

Published on Sep, 2024

What an excellent Glacier hike. Cheyenne picked us up from the designated hotel and off we went. We drove approximately 2 hr north to the Matanuska Glacier. After getting a 2nd guide and a short safety breifing off we went. Hiking on the glacier was definitely a thrill. With our shoe crampons our footing was secure. We learned about types of ice and what to watch out for, learning about; The formation, Crevasse, Moraine, Ablation and a Moulin (A hole or tube in a glacier where water flows, making a loud, roaring noise). One of the best parts was drinking super clean, glacier water. In addition to traching us abour glaciers, they always kept out safety at the forefront. (One guide leading and one at the rear, watching over us) I never felt we were an any unsafe areas. I want to thank Cheyenne and the other guide (didn't get her name) for an excellent day. -steve

Day hike on glacier is a must in Anchorage

Published on Sep, 2024

This is a once in a lifetime experience. I appreciate our driver/guide David who made it a pleasant tour. David picked me up on time and talked a lot about the local things on the way to Matanuska Glacier. He is friendly and knowledgeable. During the hike on glacier, our guide Lucas helped me when I needed since itā€™s a little slippery on a rainy day. I also learned some interesting facts about glacier from him. It was definitely an amazing experience and a perfect ending of my last day in Alaska!
