More Than a Glacier Hike — A Personalized Alaska Adventure

What sets the tour apart is the experience beyond the glacier itself. Travel in a small group through the spectacular Matanuska Valley, enjoy amazing sceneries along the way, and experience the glacier at a relaxed pace without feeling rushed.

Once on the Matanuska Glacier, join an experienced glacier guide to explore brilliant blue ice, fascinating formations, and the ever-changing glacial landscape. With personalized attention, plenty of time for photos, and a friendly local touch, we want you to experience Alaska — not simply visit it.

Small group. More personal. More time to explore. More Alaska.
