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!

This was hands down the highlight of my trip! I was communicated with very well prior to and the morning of the tour. They were prompt in picking me up from my hotel and our guide, Matt, was the best! He was very easy going and knowledgeable and made the whole day really fun. And he was happy to answer every question along the way. This winter glacier tour is amazing. Breathtaking views and it was really cool to learn about the glacier as we were walking through it. It was like nowhere I've ever been before. Overall, I was very happy with the hike and the tour company. I will definitely book with Greatland Adventures again in the future.
