Reiseverlauf
Der Matanuska-Gletscher ist ein Talgletscher im US-Bundesstaat Alaska. Mit einer Länge von 43 Meilen und einer Breite von 4 Meilen ist er der größte mit dem Auto erreichbare Gletscher der Vereinigten Staaten. Die Fahrt nach Glenn Hwy dauert ca. 2 Stunden in jede Richtung mit insgesamt 4 Stunden entlang des malerischen Glenn Hwy. Während der Wintersaison kann die Startzeit der Tour variieren, um den sichersten Fahrbedingungen für unsere Fahrer und Gäste gerecht zu werden. Ihr Fortgeschrittener wird sich vor dem Abreisetag mit Ihnen in Verbindung setzen.
Der Glenn Highway National Scenic Byway folgt einem Pfad, der von uralten Gletschern geschnitzt wurde. Folgen Sie dem geflochtenen Matanuska-Fluss über mehr als die Hälfte seiner Länge.
Während der Tour halten wir in Palmer Alaska und geben Ihnen Zeit, das Mittagessen in einem örtlichen Lebensmittelgeschäft zu kaufen. Nur 45 Minuten von Anchorage entfernt, hat dieses malerische Städtchen landwirtschaftliches Flair. Beginnen Sie Ihr Abenteuer in diesem „Land“ im Palmer Visitor Information Center. Vergessen Sie nicht, sich eine Wanderkarte für die Innenstadt zu besorgen, während Sie dort sind.

It is a great experience. The glacier is amazing to see. Our guide Frank was awesome and informative. It would be nice to split into kids and no kid groups, but overall it was great.
Excellent arrangements ...from pickup at Anchorage to the actual hike on the glacier ... They arranged for a separate guide for our family to handle the knee injury of my husband and do a slower and safer walk on the ice ... Grateful for that ...
The hike on the Matanuska Glacier was super fun. The two guides (Emory and Dominic) who took us were very knowledgeable and helpful when we had to cross a few truckier spots. The views are amazing but it is an active hike - not for anyone unsteady on their feet. The drive out there was beautiful and we had a fantastic driver - Rexy - who was professional, friendly and offered lots of great information and history of the area. All in all, it was a really great excursion and I would highly recommend making it part of your trip to this area of Alaska
Owner refused to provide a refund after the company canceled a scheduled tour. Told blatant lies about services the company supported to offer and when I asked for proof would not provided. Needed to file a legal complaint with CC company to force them to return the funds. There are many companies that provide similar services, I would recommend that you try another.
We are sorry that you were dissatisfied with your experience. To clarify, you did not communicate with the owner regarding this reservation. Your interactions were with our reservations and sales team, who worked to assist you as quickly as possible. When the scheduled tour could not operate and we were unable to reach you by phone or text, the owner arranged for someone to personally greet you and direct you to an alternate transportation provider for your trip to the Matanuska area. Our goal was to ensure that your travel plans could continue with as little disruption as possible. Regarding the refund, your request was processed as soon as we learned that you had paid the alternate transportation provider directly. In most cases, our backup transportation partners bill us directly, eliminating any out-of-pocket expense for the guest. Because that did not occur in this instance, a refund was promptly issued once we were made aware of the situation. While it is not uncommon for tour operators to have minimum participation requirements for longer excursions, we made every effort to find an alternative solution rather than simply canceling your plans. We believe this demonstrates our commitment to customer service and to helping guests enjoy their Alaska experience. For these reasons, we believe portions of your review are inaccurate. Your refund was issued, and every effort was made to ensure you were able to continue with your planned excursion. We strive to provide reliable service and responsive customer support, and we wish you safe travels in the future.
It’s an amazing experience,once in a lifetime , and our tour guide was incredible,I felt I had known for ever
My wife and I really enjoyed this tour -- one of the highlights of our trip. You feel like you're in another world, unlike anything you've ever experienced. Walking through each crevasse, with huge walls of ice on either side, is exhilarating (and no problem for someone claustrophobic like me, either, somehow). It was also easier and less strenuous for older folks like us (ages 72 and 71) than we expected. We got around quite well actually, and the few times we had to move more slowly and carefully, the guide and the younger people in the group were patient and helpful. Each person is given thick elastic bands that wrap snugly around your boots, with metal spikes attached, and most of the time you're walking on packed snow on top of the ice, hearing and feeling crunch, crunch, crunch, so you feel very secure and have good traction. They've carved steps into the surfaces going up and down hills, making climbs and descents much easier also. We were able to stop and take beautiful photos all along the way, and it was just gorgeous. It's a two-hour ride each way, from Anchorage, but we stopped a few times to pick up food, use the restroom, or take more photos. A great day and we're so glad we did it! You will be too.
The Matanuska Glacier Hike was epic! Ina did a great job pointing out all the interesting facts about Alaska and the sights we saw along the way. It was a great way to gain insights from the locals. The views on rate hike were breathtaking. So happy I did this tour!
We had a very wonderful experience. Everything from pickup , drive there, guided tour was very well planned. Our driver Corey, and guide Jason were very good. We totally enjoyed. Highly recommend.
What a beautiful place to visit, an experience I'll never forget. Planing to return next winter.....
Absolutely amazing in the winter, it was magical! The tour provided incredible views of the landscape on the way in and the guide Petra hiked us all over the glacier and in between crevices in a way more in depth manner than I expected, I was floored by how incredible and immersive it was. Ina our driver and guide until we got to the glacier was fantastic, super knowledgeable and fun, she answered all my numerous curiosities and made sure we saw incredible views along the way. Genuinely the best tour I’ve ever been on and I’ve been on dozens over the years.
