Great experience

It is a great experience. The glacier is amazing to see. Our guide Frank was awesome and informative. It would be nice to split into kids and no kid groups, but overall it was great.

Matanushka Walk

Excellent arrangements ...from pickup at Anchorage to the actual hike on the glacier ... They arranged for a separate guide for our family to handle the knee injury of my husband and do a slower and safer walk on the ice ... Grateful for that ...

The hike on the Matanuska...

The hike on the Matanuska Glacier was super fun. The two guides (Emory and Dominic) who took us were very knowledgeable and helpful when we had to cross a few truckier spots. The views are amazing but it is an active hike - not for anyone unsteady on their feet. The drive out there was beautiful and we had a fantastic driver - Rexy - who was professional, friendly and offered lots of great information and history of the area. All in all, it was a really great excursion and I would highly recommend making it part of your trip to this area of Alaska

Not a reputable company. Owner is a jerk and not an honest person.

Owner refused to provide a refund after the company canceled a scheduled tour. Told blatant lies about services the company supported to offer and when I asked for proof would not provided. Needed to file a legal complaint with CC company to force them to return the funds. There are many companies that provide similar services, I would recommend that you try another.
