What To Expect

Greatland Adventures

The Matanuska Glacier is one of Alaska's premiere destinations. At 27 miles long and 4 miles wide it is Alaska's largest glacier accessible by road. It also is boasts one of the most accessible areas to walk on of any glacier in Alaska. Marvel at ice that formed thousands of years ago high in the Chugach Mountains.

Matanuska Glacier

Your day will start with a magnificent scenic drive along the Glenn Highway with stunning mountain vistas and plenty of time for photo stops. Next we will drive to the toe of the glacier to dawn our ice cleats and begin exploring the glacier by foot. Each day is unique due to the dynamic nature of the glacier. We generally spend two hours and walk three miles on the ice. After exploring the glacier we will have lunch at a local eatery with stunning views of the glacier and surrounding scenery. Each tour will be customized to suit your groups interest. This is a once in a lifetime bucket list opportunity to explore glacial ice!

We had a great experience with Greatland Adventures. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Would 100% recommend to anyone interested in a glacier tour and I would definitely book with them for any future trips to Anchorage.

Greatland as a company was so easy to work with. My daughter age 9 had wanted to see the northern lights on the trip. Unfortunately our window of opportunity had poor visibility and Greatland was proactive and suggested the Matanuska Glacier tour. Slam Dunk! Bill was a great guide and clearly loves what he does. He never stopped educating and quizzing the group! What a great and memorable day. We hiked the glacier in -6 weather with couples from around the world and Bill. Bill was as excited as the group, taking pictures like the rest of us. This will be a cherished memory for my daughter and I forever. Zero hesitation in recommending Greatland Adventures for your trip. I'm cheap and was very happy with the value we received. Would not hesitate to do it again.

What an amazing day! We had perfect weather, visibility, and true perfect guide! Bill made our day so much more special! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the glacier, and nature in general. You can tell he loves what he does and has a passion to share it with others. My daughter and I were the only ones on the tour and we essentially had the glacier to ourselves. It was awe inspiring! Thank you Bill for making our tour perfect!
