Aventure de randonnée sur le glacier Matanuska depuis Anchorage

Great oporator "kelley" he was a wonderful person and guid he was with us the entire time and shared his knowledge about history of alaska and the area. At the glacier Layna was a very knowledegble expert about the activities of the glacier and the timing of the events . We loved the experience.
It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m glad you enjoyed the experience. Layna is fantastic at the glacier and really knows her stuff, so I’m happy you got to experience that as well. I really appreciate the kind words and hope you have some great memories of Alaska to take home with you!
We had a great experience with Kel! He was knowledgeable and helpful with pickup and drop off and accompanied us on the tour (along with the glacier guide). Would definitely recommend this tour and him.
This was an exhilarating and informative experience. Our guides were excellent ensuring we had a great experience while also being very safety minded.
Hi Nancy! Thanks for taking the time to do the review and yes, it's an amazing experience and I'm super focused on safety first :))
Kel was a great communicator before and during the trip. He delivered exactly what was promised. He made sure we were safe and having fun. This company was professional, safe, and gave us a beautiful day!
Thank you Keri! ... and thank you for doing the review! Super appreciated!
wow...what a day...exceptional!!!started with Kel picking us up from our Airbnb right on time. Gave us water and we sat back and heard all about the history of Alaska and the area. Kel was more than happy to stop for pictures along the way. Once we arrived for the Glacier walk, things got even better. Definitely one of our holiday highlights. You must do this tour....simply breathtaking and Kel and our Guide (Peach) were excellent. I could not recommend Kel and his tour highly enough
Heyyy! Thank you so much for the prompt review! Super enjoyed spending the day with you and your wife! So glad it was a highlight of your holiday! Peach did a fantastic job, I agree! Hope your flights back to Australia went smoothly!
Kel was a great guide since the start. It was really easy to communicate with him and get information before the tour and was there right on time to pick me up. He was always giving us information about the area and Alaska. Matanuska is an amazing place. Highly recommended to see. Kel is great guide and it is 100./. Recommended. I will come back and contact him again.
Glad you enjoyed Matanuska! Thanks for the review and please let me know when you're back up this way!
Kel saved the day after our other booking was cancelled at the last minute. He was attentive to safety issues and allowed for a food and bathroom stop during a 2 hour drive. He shared information about Alaskan history and terrain during the drive which made the time fly by. We stopped for a photo op right before arrival. Then he apprised us about what to expect during the glacier tour. He accompanied our group on the glacier tour, offering a welcome hand as we stepped up and down the precarious ice. Kel was a friendly and helpful tour guide. I would go on another tour with him for sure. His logo is artistic and we bought a t shirt and mug to remember our wonderful adventure.
So glad you found me and booked my tour! Was great to take you two out to Matanuska Glacier! Thanks a million for taking the time to post a detailed review and I hope the rest of your time was exceptional! AND thanks for being my first customers to pickup a couple shirts and a coffee mug! Made my whole day!
Kel was amazing! We were able to book a tour with him at the last minute. He was very easy to coordinate with and made everything effortless for us.
So glad it all worked out and went smoothly and safely! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
My husband and I are senior travellers, and while researching excursions from Anchorage, Alaska, we came across Kel Thompson from Great Day AK on YouTube. We believe reviews are extremely important, as they often influence our own travel decisions, and Kel's videos certainly influenced ours. His presentation on visiting and hiking the Matanuska Glacier was informative, engaging, and covered everything we needed to know about what to expect and how to get there. After watching his videos, we knew this was an experience we did not want to miss. The glacier itself was absolutely spectacular, and every aspect of our experience with Kel, from our initial booking through to the glacier hike, was exemplary. We were collected directly from our Anchorage accommodation and enjoyed a comfortable and scenic journey to and from the glacier. The guides were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing this remarkable natural wonder. Their attention to safety and their enthusiasm enhanced the entire experience. Thank you, Kel, and the entire Great Day AK team, for providing us with one of the highlights of our Alaska trip. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting Anchorage and looking for an unforgettable glacier experience. FIVE STARS WITHOUT HESITATION
Loved taking you two out to the Matanuska Glacier! So glad my video explanation helped with your decision making! Let me know when you're back this way! Thank you for taking the time to post this detailed review!
Such a great experience! The glacier hike was absolutely amazing, and we learned a lot along the way. Seeing a moose on the way to the hike was an unexpected bonus and one of the highlights of the day. Definitely a memorable experience!
It was super nice of that moose to add the bonus to the day! Thanks for taking a minute to drop a review!
