Overview

The Matanuska Glacier is a premiere attraction in Alaska (and our absolute favorite!) Up to 5 guests will enjoy a scenic drive along the beautiful Matanuska river in a late model Chrysler Pacifica (avoid the hassles of big tour vans!) We'll stop on the way for snacks and coffee and enjoy a guided tour as you relax in comfort and style! Once at the Glacier, we will join a guided tour by the local Matanuska Park Guides throughout the glacier and told about the history, size and scope as you traverse the canyons, peaks, valleys and caves on this beginner to intermediate hike. Also, worth noting, there are always easier ways if you don't care to go through a cave, you can take a peak in and go around. (Licensed by Alaska's Transportation Department, I am setting this up as 3 - 6 people because of the way the Viator commissions and Park fees work, if you are just one or two people you can still book the tour but I need to charge for 3 - 5 people to make it feasible, if that makes sense.)

The Glacier is always changing and there is a mapped out route based on what attractions are the best for that day. Often there are amazing caves and ice walls to view, touch and take pictures with.

Glacier Views and Comedy Too!

Published on Jul, 2024

Kel was an awesome tour guide, he tailored the day to exactly what our group wanted to do and made it an all around enjoyable day. He provided so many fun facts and history about Alaska, local culture, nature and wildlife during our journey (and had some corny jokes along the way!). We had a great time exploring the glacier and made multiple stops at lookout points on the way there to take in all of the scenery. 10/10 would recommend, if we make it back to Alaska again in the future, we would definitely put this at the top of our list!

3 hour guided hike on a real massive Alaskan glacier

Published on Jul, 2024

3 hour guided hike on the Matanuska glacier - an experience like no other - if there is anything close to going to another planet and walking around it - this would be it. 27 miles long, 4 miles wide and 1000 feet deep of ice!! and easy access and great guide to explain things to us.
