100% would recommend - What an awesome experience!! Definitely one of the most spectacular things I have ever done. The Glacier is stunning and the guides had a lot of knowledge about the glaciers geology and formation. Our driver Dan was the best driver you could wish for - helpful, friendly and he also gave us interesting facts on the way and we could ask him anything.
Definitely do this tour!

Great Glacier Hike and Transport - White Raven picked us up on time in a clean, comfortable van with available snacks and water. The drive to the glacier was scenic and Kim gave us lots of info about the area. The glacier hike was amazing. The mini-spikes gave us secure footing even on ice. Definitely recommended.

Glacier experience with White Ravens - We booked this tour package to experience the walk on the Matanuska glacier. The experience from the start of the trip all the way to when we were dropped off was spectacular. Dan is so knowledgeable, knows this place inside out, and won't fail to make you laugh. Dan educated us throughout the journey about the places and he knew exactly where to stop for breathtaking pictures. On the way back, he gave us the list of restaurants we should try based on his experience. Highly recommend this tour package with White Ravens as you will NOT be disappointed. If we come over again to Alaska, we know who to go to for the tour package. Dan and Kim are partners in this and both of them are equally great.

Wonderful experience! - Tom was great. When he realized it was getting to be a bit too strenuous for my husband and I he got another guide to help get us back while our grandson and 3 others went on. Tom said it was the longest and highest he’s gone with a group. Our grandson absolutely loved it!
