You will explore one of the most beautiful Valley Glaciers in Alaska with a professional Glacier Guide. Stand in Awe of this magnificent creation, listen to the haunting sounds of the Ice. You will be exposed to a wealth of knowledge including glaciology and geology as you learn about the glaciers formation and history. As you traverse the glacier, you will encounter towering ice walls, deep crevasses, and mesmerizing blue ice formations. This tour is great for all ages, but dress warm, especially in winter

The tour organized by White Raven tours is a must-do in Anchorage. Kim our driver was on time and very friendly and gave us insightful tips throughout the drive to and from the glacier. They provide water bottles and small snacks during the ride. The drive is a scenic drive through the mountains. Our glacier guide on the hike was very knowledgeable and gave us a deep dive on the glacier, its features and the region. Very informative trip. The beauty and feel of raw nature in its pristine form is a must have experience of our incredible planet. You feel like hugging the glacier. The honey and wine tasting following the hike is also a good add-on. It gives a glimpse of life in an Alaskan homestead. Garry and Beth were both wonderful and kind. They had lots of natural products to try. Their goats had just had babies and we were lucky to get a chance to see them and hold them. A great bonus on an already amazing trip. 100% recommend this trip.

This was an amazing tour. Our guide Dan is super knowledgeable and experienced. Our glacier guide, Chris, very informative and fun. I would highly recommend any tour by Dan and the Matanuska Glacier guide in particular. Beautiful scenery, and breathtaking views. It was a bucket list item and one we will never forget!! Will book again if the opportunity arises.
