My family and I went back... - My family and I went back in November and we had a great time! The guide picked us up and was very friendly and professional, he also had many interesting facts about the glacier and Alaska in general! We made a few stops to take pictures before the glacier where the views were amazing. When we arrived, he made sure we got everything we needed to start the hike and he came with us, which was appreciated and it felt my family and I feel even safer. The glacier was amazing with stunning views. When you go hike the glacier you are with many more people (depending on the day) as you have to go with one of their own guides, so having our own guide with us was cool because we got to ask more questions and just feeling bit more accompanied. The local guides clearly knew him and were very happy to see him! I would recommend this tour if you’d like someone to take you and handle everything.

Glacier Views and Comedy Too! - Kel was an awesome tour guide, he tailored the day to exactly what our group wanted to do and made it an all around enjoyable day. He provided so many fun facts and history about Alaska, local culture, nature and wildlife during our journey (and had some corny jokes along the way!). We had a great time exploring the glacier and made multiple stops at lookout points on the way there to take in all of the scenery. 10/10 would recommend, if we make it back to Alaska again in the future, we would definitely put this at the top of our list!

3 hour guided hike on a real massive Alaskan glacier - 3 hour guided hike on the Matanuska glacier - an experience like no other - if there is anything close to going to another planet and walking around it - this would be it. 27 miles long, 4 miles wide and 1000 feet deep of ice!! and easy access and great guide to explain things to us.

Great experience! - This whole tour was so fun! Kelley was so kind, accommodating and very knowledgable. On the way to Matanuska he made a few stops so we can go down and enjoy the views/take photos. He brought us to and from Matanuska safely. Can’t wait to come back during the summer time! Thanks for taking such wonderful photos for us Kelley

Amazing Glacier Hike - The driver (Kelley) was very knowledgeable and friendly. We stopped few times in scenic spots to take pictures. The hike guide Petra was great, she always told us to be careful and not to rush walking on ice. This tour exceeded my expectation. I highly recommend this private tour with Kelly Thompson
