This glacier hike was absolutely incredible! The scenery was breathtaking, and walking across the ice felt like stepping into another world. Our guide, Hunter, as a local born and raised made the experience unforgettable-super knowledgeable, funny, and patient with a great balance of safety and adventure. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day on the Matanuska. Highly recommend this tour - and if you can, ask for Hunter!

The Matanuska Glacier Hike was truly unforgettable—especially for us coming from the Philippines, where glaciers are unheard of. Being up close to the ice was surreal. Our guide, Hunter, was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure everyone felt safe while sharing fascinating insights about Alaska’s history and geography. We left with hearts full of awe and memories that will last forever. Truly, a must-do adventure!

The tour all started with Patrick, and what an outstanding tour it was. Out tour was on 9/28/25. Patrick picked us up at the pre-determined location on time. Stopped at several awe inspiring locations on the way to Maranuska Glacier for unique and great photos. When we got to the Glacier, Patrick was right there with us and the location tour guide throughout the whole time. The sights were once in a lifetime moments. Patrick also was there to take pictures with our phones so we could be in it together. We had a great time and would definitely do this again should we make it back up to Alaska. Patrick made drive from downtown Anchorage to the Glacier fun. It wasn't a sit in the van and look out the window.

The glacier hiking trip was absolutely breathtaking! The scenery was spectacular, and although the trail had some ups and downs, it was not too demanding and felt quite manageable. Our driver and guide, Hunter, was incredibly knowledgeable about Alaska—he shared so much about the local culture, geography, and wildlife along the way. He was also very attentive to every member of the group, always making sure we were comfortable. On top of that, he kindly helped us take photos and even gave us lots of great travel tips. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience!

Really special and unique experience. Beautiful views of the glacier. Not to hard physically but might be a little challenging for people who are not fit or have any kind of walking difficulty. Hunter, our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained many things along the way about Alaska in general, the geography, wildlife etc and glaciers in particular. He was really nice and we really enjoyed the day with him.

Great tour with an awesome hike on the glacier. The ride over with Patrick was packed with amazing facts. On the glacier we had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery

My teenage son and I went yesterday on the guided Matanuska glacier hike. Had an incredible time. The glacier was so epic, appreciated their partnership with the local glacier guide company and Sam that led the glacier excursion. Felt safe and well prepared during the excursion. Captain C (Cerisa) from PicTours was so sweet & bubbly! She was a great guide, fun to interact with and very informative on all the wildlife and local Alaska culture. She also provided some great local Anchorage recommendations for places to eat & things to do! Cerisa also followed up after the tour with a personalized thank you text with extra local information specific to what we planned on doing. Incredible, personalized service. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you for a perfect first day in Alaska!
