Walking on a Glacier!
The Matanuska Glacier hike was an unforgettable experience. We were provided with all the necessary gear, and our guide made us feel safe every step of the way. The hike itself was thrilling, with deep blue crevasses and ice formations that looked like something from another planet. It was both beautiful and humbling to walk on a glacier. If you're visiting Anchorage, this is an absolute must!

FAQs about Anchorage Tours
What is the best time of year to visit Anchorage for mild weather and outdoor activities?

How do I get from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) to downtown Anchorage?
From Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), take the People Mover Bus Route 40 (Anchorage Transit), which runs regularly to downtown (approx. 20 minutes, $2.50).
