  • Best excursion ever!

    This was the ABSOLUTE best day! We loved everything about this experience. Our driver Jim was super friendly, knowledgeable, understanding and helpful. The tour was listed on viator with the wrong start time but he was kind enough to wait on us. The drive up was gorgeous, but nothing could have prepared us for the breathtaking experience of actually hiking the glacier under the backdrop of majestic mountains! Our guide on the glacier (the nephew of the owner) was the perfect blend of informative and funny. The glacier itself, with those blues and blacks running through the ice took our breath away. The hike was easy, with plenty of photo opportunities. The snow machine ride back included a fast extra loop to get our adrenalin pumping even more as if the beauty of the day didn't do that enough. Highly highly recommend! 100% worth the money. Plan to tip both your guide and your driver.

    We had a nice two hour drive from Anchorage to Matanuska Glacier park. Our knowledge and friendly guide provided interesting trivia on Alaska and recommendations for Anchorage dining options. Instructions for the pick up location and time were easy to follow. We had a 20-minute stop at Palmer to use the restroom and pick up lunch at a chain supermarket. The supermarket had a Starbucks if you needed a cup of coffee. When we first got to Matanuska Glacier park, we first stopped at the gift shop to sign waivers. The building where we met our guide had plenty of restrooms. They had extra snow pants and gloves available if you forgot to bring your own. Our glacier tour was led by a knowledgable and friendly guide. The hike itself was nice and easy, with a little elevation and a few narrow crevasses. The landscape was incredibly beautiful and serene. There were multiple stops for instagram worthy photos. The visit to the glacier was well worth the fee and time. I would do this tour with again if we find ourselves back in Anchorage.

  • Amazing experience.
