This was the highlight of our Alaska trip. The whole experience of hiking a glacier is worth it. Bill was really great. The lunch was included and the place where we had lunch had an awesome view of the glacier. The food was great too. We definitely recommend this to everyone.

We had a great time with Matt. Super informative and friendly, he made it an enjoyable day out. Matanuska was beautiful, highly recommend!

This was a great experience! It's crazy to actually be able to walk and climb on a glacier! Our guide, Matt, picked us up at our hotel and drove us out to the glacier. We were very lucky to have him to ourselves! He was extremely knowledgeable and we really enjoyed spending the day with him. He picked us up at 8 am and we returned at around 4.

My family and I did this tour with Matt, who was an amazing guide! He was very prompt for hotel pickup, and he stopped for bathroom breaks and picture opportunities on the way to the glacier. He was knowledgeable about many things to narrate the entire day, and he took nice photos for us too once we arrived. He also was able to adapt the tour based on our party’s different physical capabilities while on the glacier, which we appreciated. We loved not having to worry about transportation, and there were the nice touches of having water and snacks available to us too. Lunch was delicious — I imagined it would be a boxed lunch but we sat down at a local eatery in Palmer. Highly recommend this tour! If I return to Alaska again, I would definitely book another tour with Greatland Adventures!

This was the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Matt, was exceptionally knowledgeable and fun, and were fortunate that the weather was sunny and clear. Incredible experience!

This is an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Bill, was knowledgeable, kind, courteous, and helpful. We were so lucky to have a private tour on a sunny day. It reminded me of spring skiing day. It was nice to have lunch with a view and yummy pie.

I can’t tell you how grateful I feel for booking this tour last minute. I was incredibly fortunate to have spent a handful of days in Alaska and wanted to make the most of my trip, rain or shine by enjoying any activity that was still being offered in the month of Oct. This tour operator was beyond professional and they provided me with helpful information about what to wear, pack and most importantly what to expect throughout the tour. Our tour operator Bill was simply outstanding. He shared with us a little bit of Alaskan history and made sure that we were comfortable on the ice whether it was just by lending a hand to avoid one of us slipping, playing personal photographer, and allowing us to enjoy the glacier without feeling rushed. The highlight of our trip, needless to say was Matanuska itself, my zen, inspiration and everlasting memory. I felt like a million bucks since our group of three got to enjoy the glacier all too ourselves. Our three mile trek flew by due to the beautiful scenery. Following our trek on the ice, we went to lunch at a small and quaint lodge where a variety of burgers, sandwiches and salads were on the menu. I highly recommend the salmon patty sandwich with the side mixed green salad with apple Dijon vinaigrette. Absolutely yummy and a perfectly healthy meal. Thank you Greatlands for guaranteeing to operate a tour with bare minimum people, rain or shine! I couldn’t have experienced this without you all.

Stopped by for an impromptu walk along the Matanuska Glacier. Sunny skies. It was a guided tour, (that’s all they allow now) for a couple hours. Drive down the gravel road into the valley to reach the check-in, then another couple miles to where you start the tour. The guide was great, patient, had a lot of good info without talking continuously. Allowed time to just look around, take pictures, etc. They provided everything we needed, sticks, hard hat. Proper footwear is really important. Wandering around the glacier for a couple of hours was a blast, so much better than a just a stop and look. The guide took really good care of us, making sure we were safe, steady, etc. Everyone was really nice and helpful. Up near the top of our list of favorite excursions during our vacation. (side notes – the drive from Glennallen to the Glacier on a sunny morning was grand, the nearby restaurant recommended by our guide was a delight. )

Everything was great, starting with the scenic drive, then the glacier hike and lunch. We even saw mama moose with a baby from the restaurant after the hike. Highly recommend the company! As someone who has never been to Alaska before I felt taken care of and well guided from the minute I booked the tour. They answered all my texts and calls, of which there were plenty.

Not sure if our tour was the summer or winter one, since we took it in September. Wife says it was the highlight of our two weeks in Alaska. It was simply amazing. Our guides, Matt and Bill were knowledgable and helpful. You get to walk on, touch and taste the glacier. If you take it, you will know what I mean. The included lunch was at a lovely, little local restaurant. Not recommended for anyone with limited mobility, but guides were there to "lend a hand" when senior citizen like us need it. Very safety minded.

Our Matanuska Glacier Hike was fun. It was a long drive, but it was well worth the trip. We hiked around the glacier and got some great pictures learning about what it felt like to hike on ice. Our guide, Matt was a nice young man , but was not as forthcoming with information about the history and geography as we had hoped. In fact, much of what he talked about was his friends and his band in which he plays guitar. Either way, it was worth the trip and Greatland Adventures was easy to work with. We have always tried to work directly with the actual Tour Operator instead of an intermediate booking agency, simply to have a direct connection to those that have the actual experience with a trip. Dillion and Stephen were particularly helpful in answering questions we had before the trip. We would recommend this trip as well as Greatland Adventures to friends.

The hike on the glacier was awesome. Sean was such a good guide making sure we saw all the best sites and stayed safe. We were a party of four and all agreed this was the best tour we did while in Alaska. The total party was 6 so the small number made the tour so much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend.

Walking on the glacier was an unbelievable experience. The guides (Matt & Stephen) were great at ensuring that the tour was fantastic & memorable. Totally recommend this trip!!!

That was lifetime adventure memorable Our guide Mr. Mat was wonderful knowledgeable and driver was very professional I will definitely recommend this trip to my family friends I enjoyed

Matt is an great lead, knowledgeable and very personable. My family had so much fun. We felt safe the whole time.

I highly recommend to do this tour while you are in anchorage! It’s just breathtaking scenery and colorful. It’s an amazing to hike on the glacier and hugging the glacier! It’s pricy, but worth it!

Never thought that I'd be able to walk on a glacier but the encouragement received from the tour operators made me do it. The ride to the glacier was comfortable, the view magnificent. Matt, our guide, was very helpful and efficient. with all the required gear, I walked confidently on the glacier and soaked in the charm of the ice-age glacier. The only regret, time seemed to be too short and wish we could spend some more time walking on ice. The complimentary lunch and the view from the lodge was the cherry on the cake.

Surrounded by beautiful blue ice, crevices, drinking from the “fountain of youth” The crampons were very helpful. Matt our guide was excellent, shared lots of informative information. Hotel pickup and a small group atmosphere. He was very friendly and accommodated all our wishes. Lunch with a window view of the glacier was amazing and gave us the perspective of how massive the glacier really is.

The views of the glacier are magnificent! Our guides Diego and Clint are experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and super cool. They don’t rush you; they want you to have the most memorable time. They provide water and snacks before and after the hike. At the end of the hike, they take you to have lunch at a picturesque cabin style restaurant with million dollar views of the glacier, and the food is delicious. The experience is worth every penny.

Incredible experience for the adults and children in our family. The guides were very knowledgeable. One of the highlights of our trip!
