Breathtaking Matanuska Glacier Summer Trek: Alaska's Ice Must-See

We really like the tour and guide is really knowledgeable and friendly!! Highly recommended!!! Will definitely join the tour again next time!

The experience is wonderful and both our van driver a glacier guide were very knowledgeable. Be aware that there are some very uneven surfaces so this is not for someone who is not steady on their feet

Glacier 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!

The 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.!

Seeing 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

Shea was wonderful and helpful while navigating the glacier with my elderly parents. Very accommodating and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Ab 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!

We had a great tour bus driver, very informative and engaging. Our glacier guide was also excellent. A great experience.

Our family of 4 from Texas had an incredible trip. Connor Benson was the best guide I have ever met. He was patient, informative, entertaining, helpful and KNOWS his stuff and everything you will want to know and then some about Glaciers. He helped teach my boys and I on how to use the clamp on shoes and leverage the ice picks to save our energy. Connor maintained a strong Safety mindset and we never felt scared. If you get to go, I strongly encourage you to request him by Name. I promise you won't regret. Mark was also a hit with his helicopter flying and very cordial. All the people on the team that we encountered at Mica were helpful. They even gave us a LARGE free ice cream cone afterwards which hit the spot.

Our shuttle had a total of ten passengers. Our driver Gary did a great job informing us about the area and local wildlife. When we got to the glacier we donned helmets and crampons. They had equipment to fit all sizes of hikers. We learned about the silt, ice underneath the rocky surface, crevasses and more. We hiked to different spots of the glacier, got to taste glacier water and had time for great photos too. According to my GPS we hiked a little over two miles. We had a good time and I think everyone else in our group did too.
