It was a spectacular experience walking on the glacier surrounded by snow. Thank you to Lori and Alyssa for their excellent guidance and support throughout the trip! It was amazing to see something I had learned about in geography class come to life right in front of me. P.S. Spikes and snow pants are provided. You’ll be walking for about 1.5 hours, so with good boots it’s not too cold—but your face can get very cold! A face covering is definitely helpful.

On this guided day tour you walk onto the unusual terrain of the Matanuska Glacier. You will see and learn about many glacial features such as seracs, moulons and crevasses. Don't forget your camera! This is an unparalleled, authentic activity. Tour price includes glacier access and guiding. Drive time is two hours each way, with a stop half way there where you can purchase lunch and snack items.

Fantastic day hiking on the glacier. Lori was an excellent driver and it was very nice for everyone to be able to enjoy the day without driving. Glacier guide was very personable and knowledgeable. Great experience, would recommend.

Amazing. Take the early tour! Lori and Alyssa were wonderful. Would come back and do it again. Great trip for the family. Beautiful sites. The weather was perfect. Lori and Alyssa are amazing story tellers and they know their Alaska and glacier history and facts. Definitely recommend booking 907 Tours to do the glacier hike.

The glacier was absolutely stunning. We walked through crevasses and were amazed by the scenery. The guides were very friendly and engaging.

Best tour we’ve been on during our whole trip, and one of the best I’ve ever been on! Lori was our guide, and she also owns the company, so it felt very special. You can tell how much she loves the outdoors by the energy that she gives when sharing it with others. We thought it was a little pricey at first, but after doing research and reading reviews from other places, we were 100% sure this was the right tour to book. Worth every penny! The ride to and from the glacier went by faster than I expected; probably because of the amazing views, along with Lori’s commentary. Main event: GLACIER TIME! Absolutely amazing experience! When you get to the base camp, you’re fitted with microspikes (and snow pants/gear if needed), you then get on a sled pulled by a snowmobile until you get to the glacier itself. Sophie guided us across, around and even through glaciers and crevasses. She was so knowledgeable about the environment and her energy was contagious! There are so many tours to choose from, but I really hope you choose 907 Tours!
