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!

My girlfriend and I did this tour with Bill and Dawn. We had a fantastic time, and highly recommend it. I had never seen a glacier before and was not sure what to expect myself to expect, but it totally blew us away! The lunch was also great at Long Rifle Lodge, near the glacier. Bill and Dawn were also very informative, so we learned a lot!

This was one of the hidden gems of our trip! Misty our guide was a total sweetheart and was kind a gracious towards our unique photo requests. The amount of the actual glacier you get to see is truly breathtaking! We weren’t expecting to be able to see so much of it, but ended up spending two hours out on the glacier. The guides are super knowledgeable and the glacier was one of the most beautiful sights we saw during our stay!

Steve from Greatland was fantastic. He was able to accommodate us with a new date to fit with our travel plans….no problem. On the day we had Megan as our tour guide. What a gem. She was absolutely fantastic. What more can I say. You have to do this tour. The glacier and scenery are just stunning. Enjoy.
