Best Glacier Tours in Alaska

Make your vacation an adventure with a glacier hike of the mighty Matanuska Glacier.

Matanuska is an easily accessible glacier near Palmer, Alaska. To get to this glacier, you will take a short 2-hour drive from Anchorage along the scenic Glenn Highway. During your hike, our guide will tell you about the glacier’s role in the formation of the landscape and explain all the unique features of the glacier, including crevasses, moulins, and ice formations. The glacier hike can be adapted to each group’s wishes. NO experience is required to enjoy a guided tour of the Matanuska glacier.

You can’t visit Alaska without seeing a glacier close up, or standing on one! Matanuska Glacier Adventures offers daily summer fun on the ice with guided trips by knowledgeable tour guides. They know all the best photo ops! Combine the unparalleled beauty of the blue, glacier ice with the contrast of lush vegetation on the surrounding slopes. Get a breathtaking view of the Matanuska Glacier, Chugach Mountains and Talkeetna Mountains all in one place. These are memories that will last a lifetime.

At this time, access to the glacier is provided through Guided Glacier Tours only. Please contact our office if you have questions about this change from previous years.

Baby, it’s cold outside!  Yes, and that makes for spectacular glacier viewing.  Get your snow gear on and join us for an unforgettable trek out over the Matanuska Glacier.  Matanuska Glacier Adventures offers daily winter tours, winter activities and winter glacier access to Alaska’s largest glacier accessible by road. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the glacier, a vast river of ice surrounded by snowy peaks and wilderness.
