Full-Day Matanuska Glacier Small-Group Excursion

Overview

The Matanuska Glacier is the largest and most magnificent glacier in Alaska with road access. We will drive you to within about 1/2 mile of the face of the glacier, where we'll start our hike. We'll be hiking on the glacier for two to two and a half hours, and walk about 2 to 3 miles. There is little elevation change, and the hike difficulty is rated as moderate.

The glacier is about a two-hour drive from Anchorage. We will stop about half way there for a restroom break, where you will also have the opportunity to purchase coffee and whatever you'd like to have to eat while we're out. Bottled water is provided.

Glacier tours are absolutely stunning. You get to see massive ice formations, and the scenery is just breathtaking.

The tour was great! Ryan was very helpful and his Communication was awesome. They provided spikes and assisted with putting them on so no one slips on the ice. The hike could have been a little longer but overall very detailed and hands on from the guides.

The bus ride with Dan and the Glacier hike with our guide Izzaboo was so much fun! Hiking Matanuska was a surreal experience.
