Our tour guide Jason was awesome. Very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and just made you feel like family. Also our guide Ivona on the glacier did an amazing job. If I say her name wrong I hope she forgives me. She was very passionate about what she was doing and explained all about the glacier, ice types, colors and more. Absolutely one of the best experiences a person could ask for. Thanks Anchorage Shore Tour and Matanuska Glacier hike day Tour. You both were amazing!!!!!!!

Shout out to our guide/driver Jason who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole experience! He was very experienced with finding wildlife along the drive and the hike itself. The glacier hike was a very unique and fun experience I recommend trying while visiting anchorage!

Getting to listen to Jason I feel I have become a little Alaskan because I learned so much about the Alaskan way of life. The Glacier walk was spectacular. Definitely an adventure!
