Reiseverlauf
Palmer
Vorbeifahrt
Palmer ist eine Stadt und Verwaltungssitz des Matanuska-Susitna Borough in Alaska. Sie liegt 68 km nordöstlich von Anchorage am Glenn Highway im Matanuska Valley. Sie ist die neuntgrößte Stadt Alaskas und ist Austragungsort der jährlichen Alaska State Fair.
Matanuska Valley
60 Min
Der Matanuska River ist ein 121 km langer Fluss in Südalaska, der durch ein breites Tal südlich der Alaskakette fließt, das als Matanuska Valley bekannt ist.
Matanuska Glacier
120 Min
Mit 27 Meilen Länge und 4 Meilen Breite ist es Alaskas größter Gletscher, der über die Straße erreichbar ist. Es verfügt auch über eine der am besten zugänglichen Gegenden eines Gletschers in Alaska. Bestaunen Sie das Eis, das sich vor 10.000 Jahren hoch im Chugach-Gebirge gebildet hat. Ihr Tag beginnt mit einer herrlichen Fahrt entlang des Glenn Highway mit atemberaubenden Ausblicken auf die Berge und viel Zeit für Fotostopps. Als nächstes fahren wir zum Zeh des Gletschers, um unsere Eisklampen und Helme zu dämmern und den Gletscher zu Fuß zu erkunden. Jeder Tag ist aufgrund der Dynamik des Gletschers einzigartig. Wir verbringen normalerweise zwei Stunden und laufen drei Meilen auf dem Eis. Schließlich machen wir eine Mittagspause in einem lokalen Restaurant mit herrlichem Blick auf den Gletscher. Dies ist eine einmalige Gelegenheit, das Gletschereis zu erkunden!

We had a great time with Bill. Our 2 hour drive was filled with stories about Alaskan history.
Our hike was filled with an unforgettable glacier landscape. We were able to capture great photos. We were even able to provide Bill a safety video of my mishap on the crevasse. 😀
Lunch was excellent at the Long Rifle Lodge.
This is a highly recommended tour.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Glacier Adventure
We had an unforgettable experience hiking on Matanuska Glacier! Walking across the ice, surrounded by incredible blue formations and breathtaking scenery, was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The glacier was absolutely amazing and even more impressive in person. Diego, our guide, was wonderful and great with kids. Highly recommend adding this experience to any Alaska trip!

Incredible glacier experience
Jay was very knowledgeable and accommodating of our many photo stops. Definitely a bit vigorous for my mom, but doable if you have reasonable baseline fitness. You will walk up and down ice with crampons and a helmet for about 2 hours with variable weather conditions. You may get slightly muddy. We were lucky that it didn't rain today, but prepare for rain.
The trip was thoughtfully organized with various stops, snacks and water, and an amazing post-hike lunch at longrifle lodge! I learned a lot from Jay and have gained such a new respect of glaciers. He was very safety conscious as well--avoiding slippery areas on the ice to find better routes.
What an incredible opportunity to access a glacier in a beautiful Alaskan spot. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to/around Anchorage! Thank you 😊

Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Alaska again soon.

An Amazing Matanuska...
An Amazing Matanuska Glacier Adventure with Bill!
Our Matanuska Glacier Summer Tour with Greatland Adventures was truly one of the highlights of our Alaska trip!
We were four women in our 70s, each with different levels of fitness and hiking ability, and our guide, Bill, was absolutely exceptional. He quickly assessed what each of us was comfortable doing and tailored our glacier hike so that everyone could participate, feel safe, and still have a wonderful sense of adventure.
Bill was patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and incredibly attentive. He never made us feel rushed or that our ages or varying abilities were a limitation. Instead, he gave us the confidence to experience this magnificent glacier at a pace that worked for all four of us.
Walking on the Matanuska Glacier was spectacular, but Bill made the experience even more memorable. His knowledge, personality, and genuine concern for our safety and enjoyment made all the difference.
For anyone in their 60s, 70s or beyond who might be wondering, “Can I really do a glacier tour?” — YES! With a guide like Bill, absolutely!
Thank you, Bill and Greatland Adventures, for giving four adventurous women in their 70s an Alaska memory we will be talking about for years.
Antwort des Anbieters
Thank you so much for this absolutely beautiful review of our Matanuska Glacier Summer Tour — it truly made our whole team smile! What an incredible adventure for four adventurous women, and we are so proud that Bill was able to make the glacier accessible, safe, and genuinely thrilling for each one of you.
Bill's ability to read each guest's comfort level and tailor the experience accordingly is one of the things that makes him such an exceptional guide. No one should ever feel that age or fitness level stands between them and the magic of Matanuska Glacier, and it sounds like Bill made sure of exactly that — giving each of you the confidence to get out there and experience it fully.
We also love that you've highlighted this for others in their 60s, 70s and beyond who might be wondering if a glacier tour is for them — because it absolutely is, with the right guide! We hope your message encourages others to take that leap.
We will make sure Bill sees every word of this — he will be deeply touched. Thank you for choosing Greatland Adventures, and thank you for giving us the honor of being part of an Alaska memory you'll be talking about for years to come. We'd love to welcome all four of you back someday!

Incredible experience and not to be missed!
JJ was an incredible guide (and expert picture taker) and we had such a great day! Communication from booking to pickup was perfect and we appreciated the door to door pickup and drop off service.
Would highly recommend this to anyone of any age and skill level - this company really focuses on small groups and you can tell the difference when seeing the larger tours out on the glacier. We felt safe and in great hands at all times, and wouldn’t change a thing.
Antwort des Anbieters
This review just made our day! Thank you for highlighting everything we strive for, from seamless communication to our focus on small-group experiences. JJ is a rockstar, and we will definitely let him know he nailed the guiding and the photo taking. Knowing you felt safe, cared for, and highly recommend us to all ages means the world to our team. Safe travels, and we hope to adventure with you again in the future!
