Overview

Mobile ticket
The Knik Glacier off-roading and hiking tour stands out because it combines two adventures in one—an exciting ride through true Alaskan wilderness in a specially modified Jeep, followed by an up-close hike to one of the state’s most dynamic and impressive glaciers. Unlike crowded trails elsewhere, the Knik area is remote, quiet, and constantly changing, with shifting icebergs, bright blue melt pools, and dramatic mountain views that make every visit unique. Guests get the thrill of rugged off-road travel, the beauty of glacier trekking, and unforgettable photo opportunities—all without needing technical skills—creating an authentic, immersive Alaska experience you won’t find on other tours.

Shocking Glacier Experience, Knik Glacier

5.00Walking through more than 80 countries and regions around the world, this Knik Glacier in Alaska really shook me!! 1. Off-road section: Drive for nearly 2 hours on off-road roads and feel Alaska's pristine wildness, passing through glaciers, glaciers, bushland, muddy mountain roads, earthy hilly rolling roads, and the last stretch of wilderness roads bordered by glaciers! It really makes me happy! 2. Glacier Experience: This glacier is without any commercial exploitation of the original scenery! Intimate Glacier Guide also prepared ice claws, the glacial lake in winter is completely frozen state, it is safe to walk up, no difficulty, young and old! Looking at these big floating ice cubes, it just feels like they've crossed over to Earth thousands of years ago, and these glaciers are blue to the point of exaggeration, and the pictures taken don't have to be filtered! Overall this experience is a perfect combination of wildness and pristine glaciers that few can find!
Amazing！！來Anchorage 必遊行程👍👍👍

5.00I sincerely recommend this trip to appreciate the magic of nature！！ Great experience, our tour guides are very good, and shared the local life with us along the way. The glacier hiking guides are very professional and explained a lot of knowledge to us. The trip to the glacier by off-road vehicle is rare to experience in other tour groups! 乘坐越野車前往冰川地點是很難得在其它行程有的體驗～途中經過崎嶇泥濘的森林小徑，以及結冰的湖泊，還有偶遇野生麋鹿出現草叢中，非常有意思！！每位導遊都幽默風趣又專業，我們全家都很開心❤️
第一次阿拉斯加旅遊就深刻喜歡！Falling in Love with Alaska on My First Visit.

5.00This was my first time experiencing off-roading and glacier hiking, and it was truly unforgettable. The guides were professional and attentive, providing clear safety instructions and sharing helpful knowledge before the tour began. The off-road ride offered beautiful Alaskan scenery, and reaching Knik Glacier was absolutely breathtaking. The hike was well-paced, safe, and very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to friends and family. It’s a beautiful and worthwhile experience, and truly a must-do at least once in a lifetime. 這是我第一次參加越野與冰川健行，整體體驗令人難忘。導遊專業又細心，行前解說清楚，也分享了許多相關知識，讓人感到安心～ 越野沿途風景優美，抵達 Knik 冰川後的景色更是令人震撼。健行路線安排得安全且舒適、過程輕鬆！ 非常推薦親朋好友參加！是一個美麗又值得的行程，此生必去～！
Beautiful views and...

5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable adventure with the off-roading and glacier hiking tour out to Knik Glacier! From start to finish, the experience was well-organized, friendly, and genuinely exciting. The guides provided clear safety instruction and made sure everyone felt comfortable before heading out. The off-road portion was a true Alaskan thrill — riding through varied terrain with great views and even some wildlife sightings along the way. Once we reached the glacier, the scenery was breathtaking and well worth the trip! The hike up to the ice was both manageable and incredibly scenic.
