We went on a tour yesterday and it was fabulous! Our guide Petra was perfect. She shared a ton of great info, was very consciencious about our group, and her love of the glacier and its natural history was apparent. I was assured when I reserved our time that my 82 year old father would be able to do the tour and he could and did and he and my mom loved it. I've heard great things about this tour from other locals for years and they were spot on. I will highly recommend this tour to others.

This was a top notch tour! Our guide, Petra, was knowledgable, experienced, and funny! We learned a great deal about glaciers and how they form, change, and how they're affected by environment. We had fun while doing it! This was not a physically challenging tour if you are in average physical health. Well worth the money!

Nos costó 150 usd el tour en el glaciar Matanushka. No es barato pero sí vale la pena la visita. Tiene vistas impresionantes aunque el tour sí me pareció algo peligroso porque caminas en zonas muy resbalosas con desnivel

We couldn't describe our experience as anything less than fantastic. During our trip to Alaska, we had the incredible opportunity to visit the Matanuska Glacier. It holds the distinction of being the largest glacier in the United States accessible by car. The prospect of witnessing this magnificent glacier firsthand filled us with excitement. This Glacier tour offered us a great service, allowing us to safely explore the glacier icy expanse. With the guidance of experts, we slowly walked into the heart of the glacier. Navigating through the icy terrain, we were surrounded by towering ice mountains, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Despite the cold, the beauty of the Matanuska Glacier was a truly unforgettable experience that we will never forget. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alaska.

The glaciers are beautiful, and altho the tour guide was very informative I felt she was a tad rude. She wanted to keep the group moving and it felt rushed. I felt she was biased and catered to certain people who she believed would give her a better tip. I would do the tour again with a different tour company unfortunately.

Super recommend taking the tour of Matanuska glacier! We had a really great time there guided by Johnson in March! He is so nice, funny and shared a lot of knowledge and cares with us. We got so impressed that we decided to hold our wedding ceremony there. The ceremony was also a great sucess and unforgettable experience. We all so appreciated the help from the entire crew of glacier tours.

What a once in a lifetime opportunity. One of my favorite memories of visiting Alaska. The guide Petra helped our group with all of the little tough slippery spots. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you Glacier tours for creating an everlasting memory for us!
