An Amazing Matanuska Glacier Adventure with Bill! Our Matanuska Glacier Summer Tour with Greatland Adventures was truly one of the highlights of our Alaska trip! We were four women in our 70s, each with different levels of fitness and hiking ability, and our guide, Bill, was absolutely exceptional. He quickly assessed what each of us was comfortable doing and tailored our glacier hike so that everyone could participate, feel safe, and still have a wonderful sense of adventure. Bill was patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and incredibly attentive. He never made us feel rushed or that our ages or varying abilities were a limitation. Instead, he gave us the confidence to experience this magnificent glacier at a pace that worked for all four of us. Walking on the Matanuska Glacier was spectacular, but Bill made the experience even more memorable. His knowledge, personality, and genuine concern for our safety and enjoyment made all the difference. For anyone in their 60s, 70s or beyond who might be wondering, “Can I really do a glacier tour?” — YES! With a guide like Bill, absolutely! Thank you, Bill and Greatland Adventures, for giving four adventurous women in their 70s an Alaska memory we will be talking about for years.

Our tour guide was named Joan. She is a native Alaskan born and raised in Anchorage so she was very familiar with the history of the area. She lives off grid and provided lots of information on that lifestyle as well. She took us to several interesting shops where we had time for souvenir shopping. Very happy with our tour!

This was a great half day tour that provided an overview of the natural landscape and Turnagain Arm and just the right amount of time at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Our guide Rina was friendly, knowledgeable, and super flexible for photo stops and logistics. The hotel pickup was a big plus and Rina was very communicative on arrival times to minimize waiting. If you only have a short time in Anchorage, or want to fit in a tour before an evening flight or after a red eye while you’re waiting for your room to be ready, this is perfect.

Alaska Helicopter Tours delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. They picked us up right at our Anchorage hotel for the easy hour-long drive to the launch point, and the whole team was friendly and accommodating from start to finish. The flight out to Knik Glacier was thrilling — breathtaking views and an exceptionally smooth ride. Our pilot, Jake, was professional throughout and made sure we felt well cared for the entire time. Standing on the glacier itself was humbling. Walking on thousand-year-old ice and taking in the sheer scale of this 25-mile glacier left us in awe, and the crystal-blue meltwater streams were incredible to see up close. The return flight brought its own magic — we spotted a black bear, three moose in separate waterholes, and two white mountain goats along the way. This was an experience and a set of memories we'll carry with us for a lifetime.

Absolutely amazing experience!! We had a blast with Stephen who was our amazing pilot! The ride up there was breathtaking and the dog mushing/sledding ended with a highlight of playing with some puppies!! Wonderful experience with an additional option of landing on Kinik Glacier up close with the azure blue waters! Once in a lifetime experience and 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Alaska!!

Brittany wants to share the beauty of Alaska with everyone. She’s studied up on it, explored it and so evidently loves it. I learned so much about Alaska from Brittany. She took us to places that are off the beaten path. This is not a cookie cutter tour. I’ll be calling Brittany in the future for more Alaska adventures.

This is such a beautiful experience. Our day started with our driver, Kevin who picked us up at our hotel. We stopped by a place to grab lunch to either eat there or along the way. Our drive was pleasant. Kevin is awesome! We learned about Alaska and had some great conversations during our two hour ride. Now, the hike, wow! What an awesome experience. We stopped a lot to take pictures and the memories in. It was safe and absolutely gorgeous! If you’re in the area, this is a must do! Just absolutely breathtaking and amazing experience!

We had a wonderful experience on the Anchorage Aurora Tour and Northern Lights Photo Tour. Everything was well organized, and the experience felt very special from start to finish. Our guide, Erica, was amazing. She was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout the tour. It was very cold (-18 F), but she still took great care of us the whole time. We especially appreciated the calendars and the hot chocolate, which made the experience even more thoughtful and comforting. She helped make everyone feel comfortable and did a great job guiding us during the photo experience. Her encouragement and professionalism really made the night even better. The scenery was beautiful, and the whole tour was memorable. We really appreciated all the effort that went into helping us enjoy the northern lights and capture great photos. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Erica as your guide.
