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!

Bill was the best guide ever. We walked out on the Glacier & he gave us information about the Glacier & surrounding area the whole way. Highly recommend him as a guide.

My family and I went on the Winter Glacier Hike on the Matanuska glacier today. Matt was our guide. We had an awesome day! Before our trip, all of our questions were answered very promptly. Greatland Adventures took care of every detail. They provided all of our outerwear, down to hand warmers for the gloves. They even provided boots, so that we did not need to buy heavy-duty cold weather boots beforehand. We did provide our own face coverings, but were advised of this ahead of time and also advised which kind would be best for our hike. Our hike was amazing on the glacier and Matt was a wonderful and attentive guide. The lunch afterwards was in a great location with food that was perfect after our hike. I can’t think of anything that could have been done differently to make the day better. Thanks to Greatland Adventures for a wonderful day!
