An absolute must if visiting Anchorage. An incredible immersive experience. We were picked up at our hotel and our driver took us to Matanushka safely. We felt safe in the glacier at all times with a very knowledgable guide. We hiked through the glacier, drank a little of its melting water, it was amazing! Absolutely recommended.

Geoff was an amazing guide and driver. He’s extremely knowledgeable about all things Alaska— there’s literally no question he wouldn’t be able to answer! Very accommodating, organized, and overall a super cool dude. Would definitely book with him again if I’m ever back in Anchorage!

The guide on the hike was so knowledgeable and friendly, we had a wonderful time. They have some gear they’re happy to let you borrow, such as ski pants and cleats - but be prepared with gloves, socks and other warm clothing for this hike!

Generally the tour took 2 hours drive to Matanuska, a 2 hour hike and 2 hours drive to return. I am not sure why limit the time for hike to two hours, wonder to cater for the physical and safety of the visitor.. The tour guide at the glazier site was strict, unpleasant tone and everyone must follow the walk on the glacier one by one with few stopovers for photo taking. I can understand it was for the safety of everyone particularly the tour had pre-teen/teen. But kind of boring. We expect something more interesting and challenging. Also October was a shoulder season which is lack of snow and ice.
