This is such a beautiful experience. Our day started with our driver, Kevin who picked us up at our hotel. We stopped by a place to grab lunch to either eat there or along the way. Our drive was pleasant. Kevin is awesome! We learned about Alaska and had some great conversations during our two hour ride. Now, the hike, wow! What an awesome experience. We stopped a lot to take pictures and the memories in. It was safe and absolutely gorgeous! If you’re in the area, this is a must do! Just absolutely breathtaking and amazing experience!
We had a great time on our excursion. Kevin was a great communicator and prepared us well ahead of the trip. Day of, he was on time, had packed great snacks for us, and kept us informed of great info and history on the beautiful drive. We had time to grab lunch to eat at the site and bathroom breaks for those that needed it. The hike itself was great, and Sophie was an awesome guide. We learned a lot and loved our visit. It would be great to do it in winter.
Matanuska Glacier was one of my favorite experiences on this trip to Alaska, and I thought it was the most recommended glacier hike. It's about a two-hour drive from Anchorage and very convenient. It's also one of the few large glaciers in the United States that can do a year-round glacier hike, so there's an opportunity to actually walk up to it no matter what season. There are no fixed hiking routes because the glaciers move slowly every day and the terrain changes constantly. Guides plan the safest and most suitable route based on the ice conditions of the day, so each experience is unique. Throughout the trip, guides patiently explain how glaciers form, their structure and safety, allowing people to not only enjoy the views but also learn a lot about them. Along the way, we got up close and personal with azure ice cracks, spectacular ice textures, crystal clear ice caves and crystal-clear glacial meltwater. Walking on a glacier hundreds of metres thick, you see natural landscapes that have been formed over thousands of years and give a deep sense of the power of nature. My favorite part is being able to taste natural glacial melt water and ice for over a century. The icy water is cold and pure, with a very sweet taste that makes the whole experience even more special. At the end of the trip, the guide also takes you through a natural glacier mud mask, an interesting little segment that makes everyone laugh and brings the journey to a perfect conclusion. The whole trip was very professional, from equipment and safety instructions to care along the way. Although the whole journey needs to be on foot, it's not difficult and most people can easily do it by following the guide slowly. If you're in Alaska and want to really step on the glacier and get up close and personal with its spectacular beauty, I highly recommend Matanuska Glacier. This is definitely one of the most memorable and rewarding activities I've ever had to experience on my entire Alaskan journey. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Geoff was our guide and he was amazing! He provided so many interesting facts about Alaska and the Glacier.
The glacier was a must see! Everything about it was fantastic. The guide and driver were amazing as well. Highly recommend!
Unique, informative, refreshing, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hike on the glacier was amazing…perfect day!! Jason and Ren were super patient, kind, helpful and knowledgeable!
The entire party LOVED this glacial hike. It felt otherworldly to hike on our frozen history and see the whitest, bluest and blackest ice one can see. Geoff, our driver, was incredibly friendly and was very knowledgeable about the area and glaciers. Sophie, our guide, went above and beyond to help everyone in our party (ages 4-70) safely enjoy the experience all while teaching us about the glacier and its ever changing form. If you are even thinking about doing it, do it! There is about a two hour drive from Anchorage to the glacier, but the sights keep you distracted or you can sneak in a quick nap.
This is a trip to a stunning location, a 90-minute bus ride from the centre of Anchorage. You are givien the necessary kit, in particular the spike chains to put over your boots, and a guide drives you across a frozen lake on a snowmobile, before s/he leads you up and down on the beautiful Matunuska glacier. We were in a group of 8 and walking on the glacier for two and an half hours. This requires you to be able to walk and be on your feet for a decent length of time. The weather was not overly cold when we were there - just below freezing - and we got no rain or snow, although it wasn't sunny. The only reason why I have not given 5 stars is that the driver who was coming to collect us overslept and the replacement driver arrived an hour late, although he was great. Just for clarification, there is nowhere to stop between Anchorage and the glacier.
Great experience. Well worth the time. Scenic drive to the glacier then an interesting hike in, around, and on the glacier. Driver was friendly and knowledgeable and guide was friendly and engaging.
