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

5.00I am a 24-year-old female and was on a solo trip. This hiking tour was definitely amazing and not quite stressful. Tony from 907 tour company, was definitely friendly and quite helpful and responsible, he took time to pick up everybody and patiently introduced things about Anchorage. The young guide who led us hiking on the glacier was also very professional and was so patient with ladies and kids when there was some big steps on ice. We were lucky since it was a sunny day when we hiked, but it would be better if we could reach the peak of the glacier ranges.
10/10 Highly Recommend!

5.00This is by far the best excursion we’ve been on all vacation. Our driving guide-Tony-was kind, knowledgeable, and super fun to spend our whole day with. On our drive to the glaciers he pointed out some cool facts about the mountains and lakes we were passing. Even on our way back, we had some extra time and Tony allowed us the opportunity to drive to the top of the mountain where we saw the most beautiful river with an amazing view. He was very patient with our 5 million questions, and never once rushed us when we wanted to take extra pictures- and he’s also pretty impressive with a guitar! Jason was our extraordinary hiking guide and his immense expertise on hiking through the glaciers made it so fun, interactive and worthwhile. He taught us cool fun facts about crevices created in glaciers, the science behind how a glacier is formed, and even allowed us to drink glacier water which was the biggest hit of our hike (who knew water could be so exciting). If you’re going to book this excursion you MUST do it with Jason because he’s not only fun, but he was safe and cautious with our group, and kept and eye out on all of us. Quick tips: you need to bring some form of hiking shoes because my pink Nike running shoes were cute, but not durable for glacier hiking. It’s always better to bring extra layers because although it’s July and the weather was fairly nice, it definitely changed on various parts of the glacier and having a hoodie really helped. Bring a water bottle to fill up on some of that pure glacier water, and some sun glasses because the sun was really shining. I can’t recommend this excursion enough.

5.00I really enjoyed this experience. Start to finish it was smooth. Pick up and drop off at hotel made it convenient. Billy was our guide for the day-long excursion. He took pride in his job and provided good care, detailing what to expect and made sure we were all comfortable. Walking on the glacier was amazing! Tasting glacier water was a bonus.
Amazing Glacier Hike

5.00Glacier hike is amazing and highly recommended. But the experience itself is from the glacier itself and not from the service or the tour provided
