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.

Had so much fun in this tour! Enjoyed the slide and the tight passage squeeze on the glacier. Highly recommended!

Levi is a great tour guide. First, he committed to his services even my wife and me are the only customer of the day. Second, he really knew the area and showed us where we can take best pictures. He is also a very good hearted person - He saw someone get stuck in a iced-river and he drove all the way down to help him get out - I didn't see this happening in my life for a long time
