Where do I even start!? We had an amazing time taking the tour with Morgan! The glacier was incredible and the service and personality Morgan added to the adventure made it one of the best days ever! I highly recommend!

Myself and 3 friends had the pleasure of hiking Mantanuska Glacier this afternoon with our guide Amy! Amy went above and beyond tailoring the tour to our group’s needs and her knowledge was superior!!!

My husband and I had family visiting and decided to stop by and do a tour on the Matanuska glacier while we were heading back home to Fairbanks from Anchorage! I’m so glad that we did because we had an amazing time! I was incredibly nervous to do this tour because we had already done so much hiking while we were down in Anchorage the day before and I am newly pregnant with a rough history of multiple miscarriages. The company was so comforting and reassuring. Our guide Amy was the best guide that we could’ve asked for. I’m so glad that she was working that day! She is a retired OB/GYN nurse and was very understanding of my situation. She held my hand through all of the rougher areas of the tour and had somebody escort my husband and I in a side by side down to the bottom of the path where the glacier began from the building and back up when we were done. I felt so loved and cared for the entire time. Our entire family enjoyed this experience! I highly recommend this company and this glacier!!

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!

This place is amazing, and the tour guides were excellent. I cannot imagine visiting Alaska without making a stop here. Absolutely fantastic experience!

This was once in a lifetime experience. The agency is fabulous and very helpful! Our guide Jason was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to show us and guide us throughout the hike. Loved it and would recommend to anyone who is interested to experience this.

Our tour guide Iwona was awesome! Very knowledgeable and patient with our varying abilities. Site was breathtaking. Definitely a must do!

Matanuska Glacier

More beautiful wonders of our AWESOME Creator.

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

an unbelievable experience

Totally do this! Worth the money! It's so beautiful

Unspeakable joy!

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!

They have a friendly staff and super nice guys

This was such an exciting adventure! Had never done anything like it in all My travels, and yeah it was expensive but it was worth it. Such a great part of nature to see!

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!

The guided tour here was really nice. Everything was planned out really well and we got to see beautiful sights. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and she really helped those in our group who needed help.

The infrastructure they built for the tours was also really cool, and they gave us helmets and spikes for our shoes which made it really easy to walk on the glacier. I’m eager to come back and go atving or ice climbing on this glacier with the same company

Great tour, awesome guides. Personable folks and veteran friendly! The views are amazing. Be prepared for some semi-strenuous walking. It's not too bad though.

Awesome tour! I’m a local and never visited the glacier before so I took a friend who was visiting and it was incredible! Our guide, Shae, was awesome! Very personable and knowledgable, and helped anyone who needed an extra hand to make it up the ice. Spikes are provided as well as helmet, so all you need to bring is a good attitude! We even saw someone in an off-road wheelchair out there on the glacier, which was awesome! Don’t hesitate to take a tour!

We had a great time walking on the glacier ice all through and observing natural glacier landscape. Worth the fee, and understood why this tour has to be guided, as the landscape is tricky to walk through and there are dangerous parts but we were well guided and felt safe to experience the hike all through even with a 16 month old toddler.

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 lol and was very willing to take pictures for us.

Absolutely worth your time and money!

Getting up and close to a glacier like this takes an immense amount of expertise and skill - I really appreciate that the guides have both.

This tour was easy to book too - I was a walk in after driving by the access road and seeing the sign. The roads down to the first lodge and then to the actual glacier tour start were both a little bumpy, but that’s the closest thing to a “knock” on the service.

The actual tour was wonderful. I went in May, the “breakout season,” and were snowmobiled across the beginning ice to get up to the glacier where we put on spikes and started walking. Our guide, a Polish woman whose name I forget, was just great. She was informative about the glacier, thoughtful about route safety, and very responsive about how the ice was changing throughout the day.

Overall, I was impressed. Both by the ice and service! I’d highly recommend it for anyone nearby!

I had a great time on the Matanuska Glacier Tour with Glacier Tours! The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and they took great care of us. The scenery was beautiful, and we got to see some amazing parts of Alaska. I highly recommend Glacier Tours to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable experience.

Here are some of the things that I liked about the tour:

The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. They were happy to answer any questions that we had, and they made sure that we had a safe and enjoyable experience.

The scenery was beautiful. We got to see some amazing parts of Alaska, including snow-capped mountains and frozen lakes.

The experience was unforgettable. It was a lot of fun to hike on the glacier and learn about the history and geology of the area.

I would definitely recommend Glacier Tours to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable experience. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly, the scenery is beautiful, and you'll get to experience something truly unique.

I also want to add that we were lucky enough to do an extra part of the trail that is not normally included in the tour. This was a great opportunity to see more of the glacier and learn more about it. The weather was also perfect, and we had a great time.

WOW! I am not entirely sure what I was expecting, but my mind was absolutely blown. As somebody fortunate enough to have done and seen many things in life, this tops the list without a doubt. Not only was my tour guide Nick unbelievably amazing and knowledgeable, he was a true professional. I cannot recommend Matanuska Glacier Tours highly enough. From the staff at check in, to the lead guide/supervisor Kendra, to my tour guide Nick. Amazing people, amazing place, amazing experience. Worth every single penny and then some. Easy/flexible scheduling via text, easy to navigate directions, unreal/once in a lifetime experience. They tell you this in advance, BUT, be sure to gas up before you go and 4WD/AWD is recommended in winter. I CANNOT WAIT to return, and I will certainly be calling ahead to ensure I will be guided by Nick again! WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE!!!!!!

Oh My God! This was so much fun and definitely one of the most fun things I've done in a while. We have a friend who recommended it as she has been 3 times. Chris, our guide was super knowledgeable about everything, super friendly and a wonderful guide. He is also very patient because their are definitely people who don't listen as well on the tour. It was a beautiful day, and just stunning to see something like this. This is a must see for literally anyone and everyone. You will leave respecting Alaska so much more. And with a local Alaska rate their is no excuse not to go.

We had a great experience and tour. There were a couple of people in our group who didn’t seem to understand the importance of not crowding narrow areas for photo ops, but that’s definitely of no fault of the guide. We got to check out a local store and pick out some lunch before we went, that we ate once we were done. We learned a lot about glaciers and overall weather in Alaska. Remember to bring cash to tip your guides!

Best place and people in the world

Amazing tour with reasonable price. Definitely worth your money. Our tour guide Jason was friendly and helpful. He gave us information on the glaciers and showed us different scenic spots to take pictures of the glaciers. The road to the glacier was a bit slippery but if you are in any trouble the guides are there to help you. One small recommendation is it would be great if they provide hot water after the trip.

Awesome experience, Chris was our guide and he was the best! So friendly, so knowledgable. We had an incredible time. About 2.5 hours round trip, got to get pretty close to the glacier. Big discount for military/veterans and a guest of theirs, it was 90 before tip for 2 people. Highly recommend.

Great tour!! Such a unique experience to walk on the glacier and enjoy the beauty from that inside!
They accept the reservation but you pay when you get there. Everyone are so friendly and nice. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and was great at sharing those with us.
It looked scary at the beginning but as long as you follow the rules there’s nothing to be worry about. We had bunch of kids from 3, 5, 7 and 8 years old and also some older people in our group and no one had any problems.
Can’t recommend it enough!
