We had an excellent time on this tour! Our guide was Petra and she was very safety oriented and was good about helping us be careful with every step. I liked how we didn’t have to book ahead for this tour, we just showed up, which made planning easy. This is also the only tour operator for this glacier, so that saved me some additional planning effort.

Glacier tours was an awesome experience. We had Peach as our guide, she was knowledgeable and made the experience so much fun. Here are some tips and thoughts prior to going:1. You don't need to wear special shoes, they have metal grips that will attach to regular running shoes.2. Pending on the day, be prepared for any type of weather as it is Alaska. Yesterday it was tshirt and shorts weather, and today they were expecting rain and we needed a coat and long pants. So anything can happen.3. Be prepared for a walk that would be around 1.5-2 hours. And be prepared for anything! Yesterday apparently, and iceberg came out of the water, today we heard cracking in the ice. So have that camera ready for anything that can happen.4. If walking on a glacier sounds exciting, I would suggest doing it sooner than later as the glacier is receding every year and the walk out is getting further and further.5. Make sure to bring a water bottle, we had a chance to drink some glacier water, and ended up drinking it for the remainder of the tour.6. I would say most ages can go, but I wouldn't recommend young kids who wander off, or really elderly people as they is still the potential to slip. It is a glacier after all and there is still the potential to fall or even fall into one of the cracks. I brought my family, son 14 and daughter 12, and it was fine. I wouldn't recommend young kids below 5 unless they are responsible.Overall, it is a far place to get to, but well worth it! I put some pictures, but the pictures don't don't do the tour justice.

Awesome experience for our trip to Alaska! Had jack as a guide for our private tour and made it super cool! Would highly recommend this place for sure.

Excellent experience. The guide was excellent and the reception was very helpful.A must visit.

Absolutely fantastic! Only complaint is lady at front office recommending ridiculously heavy tipping and suggesting you take out cash to accommodate. Lame

Such a great experience, loved every minute of it. Just wow

Amazing experience with these folks. Guide was super knowledgeable and kept everyone safe.Had a great time walking across the glacier, eating ice, and drinking fresh (feezing) glacier water.

Landscapes are beautiful, guides are enthusiastic. Just keep in mind that the 3 hour tour will not walk deep into the glacier, but you will still be able to walk on ice and see all kinds of cool things.

My family of five did the 2 hours glacier tour. (2 adults and 3 teenage boys) The tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable and taught us much about the glacier. It was a cool experience to walk on the glacier. All employees we encountered with this company were incredibly kind and friendly.

Worth it if you’ve never walked on a glacier. Nice guide, but crowded and I wished their policy allowed experienced mountain climbers to explore on their own.

The tour guide was really good. He had some useful info for us. We got many chances to walk about (within limits) and take photos. The guide himself also offered many times to take our pictures with our phones. The hike lasts about 2 hours or so. They give micro-spikes that work really well. A few parts involve going up or down some steep parts. It’s not too bad, but I admit: with the group tour, I often had a fear of falling in front of everyone and embarrassing myselfIn all honesty - I can’t give a 5-star rating because, frankly, I found $160 to be a tad too steep. Additionally, the glacier is a lot more begrimed than you’d think, with lots of dirt, mud, and rocks. I can’t tell if its appearance is the result of nature or the tour itself, as tons of people are walking over it every day.It seems a lot of the reviewers post only the nice part of the glacier, with the shiny pristine blue-colored ice. But heads up: a lot of the glacier doesn’t look that way

Riley was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the entire Matanuska glacier trail. The tour was very informative, the tour building was clean, and Riley was very helpful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with glacier tours.

We took this tour on July 18th 2026, able to walk on glacier and drink glacier water. It is kind of expensive but worth it.At the same time I felt we are all destroying the nature and may be 100 years from now nothing will be left.

We booked a tour with Glacier Tours for the 4th of July. It was a fun and unique way to spend our holiday! Our guide, Anna, personalized the hike for the level of our group. She was helpful to provide assistance when needed. One of our group members sustained an injury at the very end and she was quick to help get them patched up and called for a ride back to the base. When considering tours I noticed that this tour was cheaper than another company and I was a little concerned about the quality of the tour, but it was great. We didn't have to pay an extra fee to access the glacier, it was included in our tickets. We were provided with helmets and mini-spikes. I would definitely recommend this as an easy way to access a glacier!

Wow, what a fantastic experience! At first glance we thought $160 each was a bit steep, but for 3 hours in a small group, guided by a glacier expert, it was great value. Frank was an excellent and friendly guide. A must do in Alaska.
