Matanuska Glacier Hike Day Tour

Kelly_D, Jul 2026

Once in a lifetime experience on a glacier.

The Matanuska Glacier Hike was an amazing full day excursion. We were picked up from our AirBNB in Anchorage, driven about 2 hours to the glacier where we hiked for about 2 - 2.5 hours. Our guide shared details on the different attributes of the glacier as we hiked on it - the experience was incredible! Our tour then went to a nice local restaurant for lunch before our 2 hour drive back. Our driver pointed out wildlife along the way and stopped so we could get some pictures too. Be prepared for a moderate+ hike.

Blessings in Alaska

The PicTours experience was great! Our tour guide Arlen was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, polite and he was doing everything he could to make our trip pleasant and enjoylable. Thank you Arlen for all your hard work and genuine love for nature. We won't forget the bears in the reservation and the awesome walk next to the river. My son and I will treasure this trip and we hope to come back with the whole family next time.

Bucket list

If you want to be treated like family vs just another tourist, this is the tour for you. Staff was friendly and the pilot/tour guide Wes did an amazing job, giving my husband and I a personal excursion. He asked what we wanted to do and see and then delivered. It was by far the most incredible thing we have done. Pictures just don't do it justice, thank you.

Fabulous!!

Absolutely fabulous! It was a perfect 60* day and sunny. Gideon was our musher, very knowledgeable and personable. Sat in the front seats of the helicopter with fabulous views of the trip to the glacier and back. After meeting the puppies and cuddling them, we jumped on our sled and off we went! Fabulous! Have I said fabulous enough?? Highlight of our two month trip to Alaska. Do it.

Portege glacier wildlife rescue tour

The tour was excellent! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. It is a long drive to and from the portage glacier, I was glad I had a water bottle and my own snacks. Boat tour was great. Loved the wildlife rescue and our tour guide drove us to different areas to see the animals, we were thankful for that as it would have been a lot of walking to the different enclosures.

The tour provided an excellent overview of what the greater Anchorage area has to offer. The tour description is accurate. I loved the nature and wildlife stops particularly. We lucked out with an up-close (but safe) moose sighting, for which we made an unplanned—but much appreciated—stop at Potter Marsh. I would’ve liked more time at the AWCC, but enjoyed the time spent. The lunch took more time than expected but was very good.

Grand Knik Helicopter Tour - 2 hours 3 landings - ANCHORAGE AREA

Elizabeth_K, Jun 2026

Worth the money!

Words can’t describe how incredible this experience was! Aaron was a great pilot (and photographer) and took us to 3 amazing spots that we could not have gotten to on our own. We got to walk around in each location and decide how long we wanted to spend at each. We chose to spend most of our time on the glacier, which was a blast to walk around with spikes on our shoes. Bring a water bottle to drink some glacier water! I definitely think the value was worth the price. We were a couple in the helicopter alone with the pilot and each spot had no one there. Do it!!!

Hike Matanuska Glacier w/Alaska Local Honey, Wine Tasting

The guided glacier tour...

The guided glacier tour is suitable for a wide range of abilities with some steeper parts. We were provided with crampons and you do not necessarily need snow boots. There was little wind I felt fine without a hat. The honey and wine were a delicious treat after about 2 hrs of walking/hiking on the glacier. For ice cave experience I would wait for June/July:
