What a great experience!! Our tour guide was excellent! This is a must.

My family had a spectacular day on Matanuska Glacier. Our guide made it extra special for my son’s birthday. He was great with kids, very positive, encouraging, engaging, and fun. The temp was below 0F but we stayed warm by moving around. I’m already dreaming about another trip to the glacier. Thank you!

What a great experience! Way more exploration than we expected. Naomi was a wonderful guide and we would book with her any day. Only one negative bit of feedback. Ensure that other guides do not make disparaging or derogatory comments about non-English speaking groups. Even if they don't know you are being rude, we do.

We took a glacier tour in Early January and it was absolutely amazing! We were provided with crampons for our hike as well. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable as well as kind. He was our personal photographer but also let us enjoy the glacier for as long as we wanted. The staff who assisted us both before and after our hike were very nice as well. I can’t recommend this amazing tour enough!

This was definitely a bucket list experience! The views were to die for! The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! They provide you with helmets and crampons to walk on the ice. Be prepared for your shoes to get dirty! Would highly recommend this tour!

Six of us, ranging in age from 7-52, went on the tour in mid-November. It was an amazing tour & Petra was very knowledgeable and helpful. My seven year old grandson’s feet became too cold and he had to stop. Kendra immediately had someone come from the office to retrieve he & I to bring us back. Kendra helped us when we returned and was SO KIND. She even offered to take us back out to do the final loop of the tour (the prettiest loop” once his feet were warmed and he was doing better. She went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, not only because it’s an amazing once in a lifetime experience, but because they truly care. I cannot thank them enough for the tour, the experience, and the help. Thank you so much!

Tour guide Lucas was very knowledgeable about the geology beneath the glacier that cause it to behave the way it does.

He made sure all members of our family and the group as a whole we're well taken care of during our walk across and around the glacier.

We got to walk down into a recently discovered ice cave that had been underwater all summer as well as step out onto a frozen pool near the main upheaval of ice.

The tour is easy if you're in semi decent shape. Our 6 year old walked it by himself without issues.

Since it progresses at a rate of about 8" every day, what we saw today will likely be different than what will be seen next month.

Highly recommend!

Our whole family loved this, and stayed engaged for the 2 hour hike. It was the best mixture of safe but exhilarating. I would highly recommend this adventure. We walked on, in, and through the glacier, while our tour guide taught us the science and history of it.

This was one of the coolest tours that I’ve ever done. It was really unique, and it was really awesome to walk on the glacier. We were able to learn a lot about the different ways that glaciers are formed and Sid our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to different parts on the glacier that he thought we would enjoy. He even was our personal photographer and was very willing to take pictures for us. It is so surreal to be up there on the ice and just see everything below you and just the mass and the water in the main area of the glacier was incredible. We also got to drink glacier water which is super tasty, don’t forget your water bottle. I highly recommend this tour it was really worth the money.

This hike is one of the first things we did on landing in Alaska. We loved it so much and highly recommend everyone to do this hike. We experienced the glacier for the first time and it felt surreal.

We were provided with crampons, helmets, hiking sticks for safety. Our hike was completed within 2.5 hrs and we took the last tour of the day. We felt we should have taken the hike in the morning rather than evening because at some places we felt we were rushed to complete the hike. Me & my husband like to enjoy the views for a longer time frame instead of rushing. Maybe because of that we felt like that. Otherwise the entire experience is amazing. Our guide answered all our questions and helped us in clicking pictures too. Take as many pictures & videos as possible whenever you find time because you can’t come back to the same spot later in your hike. We also got to drink glacier water (don’t forget to take an empty water bottle), eat glacier ice, and saw an ice cave.

And one suggestion to anyone who has never done hiking or anyone who has balancing issues or first time on ice, I highly recommend taking hiking sticks from them that they offer even though the hike is not that difficult.

Amazing tour!!. Chris was our guide and was very knowledgeable. I felt safe following him through the glacier and we had so much fun. We got to drink Glacier water…. so bring a container to fill up if you want to. They provided all the necessary equipment, so you can also pack light. We got beautiful pictures and memories to last a lifetime! Do not pass on this tour, you will regret it.

Super great experience with the glacier! In this 1.5 hour tour we got the chance to walk on the glacier and take a closer look of it. The tour guide is really nice. They provided ice chains for boots and will teach you how to better walk on the ice and avoid slippery. Very beautiful scene and unique experience.

Not far off Route 1, there is a check in and a gift shop at the entrance about a mile from the turnoff. They were well staffed by friendly employees. Restrooms were available.

After check in it's a short drive to the tent to receive your equipment and meet with your guide.

The Tour/Hike lasted about 2.5 hours and it was magical. To see the Glacier is one thing to walk on it is something else. To see the site and the power of ice and water is incredible.

This is something not to be missed.

Our Guide SABIN was EXCELLENT! Answered all our questions and gave us quite a bit of information.

What an incredible experience! This hike was honestly one of the best I've ever been on. They provided us with helmets, poles, crampons. Our guide was not only friendly but also a total glacier expert. We saw crevasses, black ice, and even a snow cave! Oh, and guess what? We got to sip on glacier water – so refreshing! Our guide doubled as a photographer, snapping awesome pics for us. Walking on the glacier, surrounded by that breathtaking view – just WOW. Highly, highly recommend this!

This experience was a little scary at times but amazing at the same time! Shay was our guide and he was fantastic! When we reached a difficult spot he was there to help us. Plus he (of course) knew tons of cool facts about the Glacier. Pro tip: they say it's only 10 degrees colder on the Glacier than not, but if it's windy it feels colder so depending on your tolerance be prepared. Also bring a empty water bottle so you can catch and drink so Glacier water easily. Last thing, bring a baggy to grab some Glacier mud at the end of the tour. It makes a great mineral mud mask!
