Genuinely magical

5.00Absolutely amazing in the winter, it was magical! The tour provided incredible views of the landscape on the way in and the guide Petra hiked us all over the glacier and in between crevices in a way more in depth manner than I expected, I was floored by how incredible and immersive it was. Ina our driver and guide until we got to the glacier was fantastic, super knowledgeable and fun, she answered all my numerous curiosities and made sure we saw incredible views along the way. Genuinely the best tour I’ve ever been on and I’ve been on dozens over the years.
We really like the tour...

4.00Glacier hike was amazing!! Loved Sophie's guided hike. Good fun, very knowledgeable and helpful. We were supposed to have 1 hour in Palmer. We only stopped very briefly for a toilet break. Bus driver was ok but very concerned that everyone pays their tips. 2 stops to take a quick photo along the way. We were also told that snacks would be provided which wasn't the case. Overall still a great experience!
Proceed with caution.

2.00The glacier tour guide was fabulous. She was very informative, kind and warm. Safety was her number one objective and that we had a good time. The tour operator was nonresponsive and and rushed us with shorter stops. Compared to our other excursions that were almost the same price. The transportation was below expectations. This would not be recommended. I would highly recommend the glacial cruises instead. The reason for the review was for the tour operator not for the guides on the glacier. Have fun whatever you choose.!
Fantastic Family Experience

5.00Seeing a glacier up close was truly an experience! Our guide Jacob was very engaging and patient, showing us how to use the spikes and making sure we were comfortable during the tour. He was also very knowledgeable about the glacier and surrounding area. Highly recommend this tour and Jacob

5.00Ab and the company were amazing. We were late for over 10m, they called to check on us and directed where we should go. Ab is knowledgeable warm and thoughtful. He gave us nonstop information on the scenery, history, culture and politics of Alaska. He answered every question yet leaving me intrigued with additional thinking. He is a father of 5 and he treated my child like a mentor. He is a wonderful person just to hang out. Matanuska itself is fascinating. We got another guide provided by the glacier company. It’s an eye opening experience to explore the glacier in depth. At the end of the walk on the glacier, I realized that the rock I was standing on actually has glacier underneath that’s 6000 feet deep. Wow!
A great experience with great guides
