Holly did a great job and provided some really good information prior to arrival at the Glacier. The glacier itself was fascinating and beautiful in such a different way. So cool to be able to walk out on the river and the glacier.

Extremely well organized. It’s a day trip but doesn’t feel like it and is a great and safe way to see Matanuska Glacier. Experience of a lifetime! Holly was an exceptional guide!

Had an amazing time and saw some very beautiful sights. My mom and brother had mobility issues and could not do the 2-3 mile hike but they were able to accommodate an alternate option for us so we still were able to experience this once in a lifetime sight!

We met up with the group at 7:35 and drove 2 hrs to the glacier. There was a stop halfway at Fred Meyer to pick up lunch. The glacier tour was about 2 hours total - there is a trailer to stay warm and put on spikes (which are provided). I was nervous about temps since with windchill it was -20 F! But honestly it was not that cold once you're in the glacier since it's shielded from the wind. Absolutely incredible tour that's nothing like we've ever done! It is not strenuous and the hike is only about 1.5 miles but it's cold! I wore hand warmers and foot warmers both and was sufficient with many layers. Patrick was our PicTours guide and he was one of the best guides we've ever had! He shared many amazing tid bits about Alaska during our bus ride - and he has the best most positive attitude of all time. You can tell how much he loves the tour and it makes the experience so much better! Thank you Patrick for an amazing experience and a once in a lifetime memory!

Highly recommend this unique experience that’s unlike any other glacier or ice cave trips we’ve taken in the past. Philip, our guide to the glacier and back, was friendly and personable, and gave us a lot of great insight on Alaska. Once on the glacier, the guides gave us a lot of interesting detail on the glacier itself, the sediment, etc. and took us hiking through narrow passage ways and unbelievable formations. Highly recommend!
