Great experience with Chris on the glacier! Fascinating! The drive is a bit long and Patrick our driver was enthusiastic and could have skipped the "how to take a picture" moment and the additional teachings
Our guide was pretty new to Alaska and needs a bit more experience. When we asked questions we just had to Google the answer. He was very kind but just was in experienced. The glacier guides were more experienced and they had a lot of info to give which I love, but we might as well have driven up ourselves and saved the money.
We thank you for sharing your thoughts about this excursion. At times we have found visitors to be less than satisfied due to our far North West Pacific weather. Our area is surrounded by wilderness and possess an abundance of wildlife and geological wonders such as glaciers. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee all sightings will be viewed since conditions varies by season, ocean tides, safety, third party groups and powerful Alaska weather conditions that can be mild-to-harsh year round. Again, thank you for sharing your experience. Please consider the writers bias when reading this review. We read all reviews and strive towards adjusting to meet our world-class ranking.
The glacier experience was phenomenal. The guides were very knowledgeable and patient. Due to our physical abilities we were given an individual guide who was wonderful. Our only issue was with transportation to the glacier. There was a lot of waisted time picking us up ( was late) and getting us to the destination ( too many stops). The van was too tight for the length of time and the amount of people.

We had an incredible experience on the Matanuska Glacier tour thanks to our guide, James. He was extremely knowledgeable about the glacier, the surrounding landscape, and the history of the area, and he shared everything in a way that kept the group engaged from start to finish. His energy and enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable, and he did a great job making sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and included throughout the experience.
Grace was a wonderful guide- engaging and informative! She was great at spotting wildlife along our drive!!
Excellent glacier tour, you get to walk all around the glacier and you have an experienced narrator explaining the entire walk. James our tour guide did a great job getting us there and back explaining what to expect. Great day.
What a great day! Our driver Patrick talked with great enthusiasm about Anchorage. James joined us on the glacier and took many pictures of us that we received directly on the way back. The hike on the glacier was very impressive with beautiful views. Afterwards Patrick from PicTours gave us some magnets and flower seeds. We can highly recommend this tour. Everything arranged to perfection!
Some parts were difficult but overall great. Sophie, our tour guide was absolutely awesome, they totally engaged, experienced and Fun!
Had an awesome adventure. Tour was great and would definitely recommend. Wear waterproof boots or shoes!
Had a FANTASTIC tour of the glacier. Hunter was highly professional and full of facts about all things Alaska.
