- Matanuska Glacier - Departing Anchorage for a two hour tour complete with the history of Anchorage, Alaska. We will stop on our way to pickup coffee and snacks for our adventure as we head out to the Matanuska Glacier. Along the way you’ll take in sites from varying mountain ranges and the scenic Matanuska River.
- Matanuska Glacier - Once at the glacier we will meet up with the local guides who will give us glacier clamps for our shoes to help us better grip the glacier as we head out on a guided tour. The Glacier is always changing and there is a mapped out route based on what attractions are the best for that day. Often there are amazing caves and ice walls to view, touch and take pictures with.
- Anchorage - Next we will head back to Anchorage, stopping on the way to eat lunch overlooking the Matanuska River. We will have opportunities to stop and take pictures at various scenic overlooks. We will keep an eye out for the many moose and other wildlife in the area.

The Matanuska Glacier is a top attraction in Alaska (and our personal favorite!). Up to 5 guests can enjoy a picturesque drive along the stunning Matanuska River in a modern Chrysler Pacifica, avoiding the inconveniences of large tour vans. We’ll make stops for snacks and coffee, and you’ll enjoy a guided tour in comfort and style. Upon reaching the Glacier, we’ll join a guided tour led by local Matanuska Park Guides, who will share insights about the glacier’s history, size, and scope as you explore canyons, peaks, valleys, and caves on this beginner to intermediate hike. If you prefer not to go through a cave, there are always easier routes available to peek inside and go around.
(Licensed by Alaska’s Transportation Department, this tour is set up for 3 - 6 people due to Viator commissions and Park fees. If you are just one or two people, you can still book the tour, but I need to charge for 3 - 5 people to make it feasible. I hope that makes sense.)
- Total travel duration time includes lunch, scenic overlook photo stops and restroom breaks.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
