Matanuska Glacier Tours and Tickets

Glacier treks make for great outdoor adventures but can feel rushed if they are only a few hours long. This trekking experience at Matanuska Glacier - a local favorite, and one of the few vehicle-accessible glaciers near Anchorage - takes a full day, which leaves plenty of time to explore blue meltwater pools, ice formations, and crevasses.

Go further and higher than most glacier treks with this Matanuska excursion. A guide helps you with the more technical features by setting up a rope and anchor system, which allows you to explore more of the glacier than by hiking alone. It's a great way to see the glacier's crevasses, seracs, ice formations, and icefall.

Walk on an Alaskan glacier on this day trip from Anchorage to the Matanuska Glacier. With an instructional guide and provided mountaineering equipment (crampons and a pole), you'll 'walk on water' as you hike across the ice. Check out physical features such as seracs, crevasses, and ice formations, and enjoy a view of an ice fall.

Embark on a moderate, 2-hour hike in Matanuska-Susitna Valley on this full-day tour from Anchorage. During your trek along Matanuska Glacier, pass dramatic blue meltwater pools and ice formations. Capture incredible views of the Alaska Range, the Talkeetna Mountains and the Chugach Mountains, and gain insight into the local geology from a seasoned guide. Finish the hike with a relaxing Alaskan lunch overlooking the glacier. This Matanuska glacier hike comes with gear, safety equipment and hotel transport.
