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!

I took the winter hike on the Matanuska Glacier, it was awesome. The hike in the glacier was a great experience, the views of the glacier are great. My guide Sydney was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Greatland adventures provide clothing for this experience, thanks to this I was warm during the whole tour. Also, even if I was the only person in the tour, it was not cancelled, so it turned into a private tour. Definitely I will recommend going to Matanuska if you are in Anchorage during the winter.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Yes, we sometimes operate tours of only 1 person even though this ends up being a financial loss for our company. We do this in the hopes that the experience and our customer service will convert our guests into advocates and spread the Greatland Adventures gospel so to speak. Thanks again. We hope you come back and join us!
