Your day begins with pickup at your hotel, or at the downtown Visitor Center, in our comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van. Pickups are between 7:45 and 8:30AM, depending on location. As we head out of Anchorage your guide will talk about the City's history and key points of interest. Journeying north on the Glenn Highway your guide will share interesting information about the Matanuska Valley and the various communities along the way. After about 30 minutes, the natural beauty of the drive takes over as we enjoy the view of the Talkeetna and Chugach mountains and, on a clear day, the Alaska Range. The Matanuska River is our companion as we ascend to the Matanuska Glacier and arrive for your guided hike. The glacier guides will outfit you with ice spikes and helmets (in the summer); there are also hiking poles available for your use. These guides are experts in what the glacier has to offer each day, as well as its natural history. There will be lots of opportunities for great photos! After your approximately 2-hour adventure on the ice we head next door for lunch at an authentic Alaska lodge with an epic view of the glacier. Heading home after lunch we have the option to pull of at some scenic points in case you haven't gotten enough pictures for the day. 8 hours - $249.00 Departs 8:30 am Included: Glacier access and guiding Not included: Lunch, gratuities

5.00My husband and I had so much fun on this tour! Our tour guide, Lori was extremely knowledgeable and kind. We stopped along the way for snacks and a bathroom break, as well as for lunch after at a lodge nearby the glacier. The glacier itself was also amazing! The guides were very kind, helpful, and made sure we were all safe, while also making the experience fun. 10/10, or in this case 5/5, highly recommend!
Amazing experience!

5.00Such an awesome experience when you consider where you are! I had seen colors from photos and real life did not disappoint! I even bought clothing to compliment the scenery. The glacier guide was knowledgeable and patient even taking pics and carving out ancient ice to eat. I do have knee and hip issues and used poles for balance which helped. Don't expect poles to support you on the ice though. A couple of sets of ice stairs were a challenge but I'm glad I did it. No regrets! Lori kept up the rear with me and I felt safe. Thank you 907 Tours!

5.00Amazing tour to Matanuska Glacier! The experience was incredible and very well organized. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained a lot about the glacier, the landscape, and the history of the area. Lori was also very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip.

5.00A must do ! Matanuska happens to be the largest road accesible glacier in North America: The tour is perfectly organized and the guides extremely knowledgeable. End of March was perfect timing, we had a very sunny day with temperatures close to 32F (0 C). Sunlight shining over that much ice is worth seeing !
Great day!

5.00Experience is great, must-do when in Anchorage. Lori is amazing (and the owner)!!! Side note: you can also book this tour directly with the glacier park, but then you have to drive on snowy, windy roads for a couple hours.
Unique experience with an excellent guide!

5.00Lori is an excellent guide who is friendly, accommodating and just busting with knowledge not only about glaciers but the local area, wildlife and anything you can think of! We absolutely loved our visit to Matanuska Glacier, it was so stunning and unique. We felt like we were in good hands the entire time. The stop at the lodge for lunch was a great way to meet others and had a fantastic day! Great value and highly recommended!
The trip is both exciting...

5.00Amazing experience. Guide was quite knowledgeable and very helpful. It was quite an experience to walk on the glacier.
Pleasant tour that provides return transport to the glacier

4.00It was a lovely tour guided by the owner, Lori, who was knowledgeable and shared a lot of her experiences throughout the journey to the glacier. My only small gripe was that the van stayed quite cold all day, so we kept our jackets on the whole time. Other tours I’ve been on usually kept the vehicle warmer. I would also have appreciated more information about the geology or history of the region. There were four of us in Lori’s group that day. Once we reached the glacier, we were handed over to the glacier guiding company and combined with other groups, forming a group of around 14 people. The glacier company provides warm clothing if needed, as well as cleats. It does get extremely cold on the glacier — the wind was incredibly strong and felt closer to –30°C. The wind also blew tiny bits of snow and ice into our faces, so I’d definitely recommend bringing sunglasses. The glacier guide was excellent and very informative, and overall it was a fascinating experience. It appears that only this glacier guide company is allowed to guide there so basically all the tours offer a very similar experience, plus return transport to the glacier. The key downside for me was that the group included people with very different physical abilities. Although we spent about two hours on the glacier, we moved at a very slow pace and covered only a short distance. Much of the time was spent waiting for people to take photos at each stop, which made the experience feel a bit commercialised. The glacier itself is absolutely stunning and 100% worth visiting. Personally, I would have preferred an option for a more active, higher-intensity exploration so we could see more of the glacier. I understand the need to keep the glacier accessible to everyone, especially with multiple tour groups present, but it would be great if there were ways to accommodate different activity levels. The lunch stop was incredibly scenic and the food was good too.
