The Matanuska Glacier is a premiere attraction in Alaska (and our absolute favorite!) Up to 5 guests will enjoy a scenic drive along the beautiful Matanuska river in a late model Chrysler Pacifica (avoid the hassles of big tour vans!) We'll stop on the way for snacks and coffee and enjoy a guided tour as you relax in comfort and style! Once at the Glacier, we will join a guided tour by the local Matanuska Park Guides throughout the glacier and told about the history, size and scope as you traverse the canyons, peaks, valleys and caves on this beginner to intermediate hike. Also, worth noting, there are always easier ways if you don't care to go through a cave, you can take a peak in and go around. (Licensed by Alaska's Transportation Department, I am setting this up as 3 - 6 people because of the way the Viator commissions and Park fees work, if you are just one or two people you can still book the tour but I need to charge for 3 - 5 people to make it feasible, if that makes sense.)
