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!

What an experience! At the last minute (night before the tour) we decided our cold gear from Florida might not be enough to keep us warm on the glacier. Matt arranged for us to have cold gear and got us all set to enjoy our day! He and Carly were great guides! Took this tour with my 9 year old son, although we had a rough start getting his hat, gloves and face mask comfortably situated, once we did that it was smooth going.

Pick up was on time, our guide bill was an amazing person. He shared lots of stories regarding glacier and local information. Lunch was simple and sweet. Value for money
