Matanuska Glacier Tours
Ice Fall Trek:
Our most popular guided Matanuska Glacier tour! If you are able to walk at a very moderate pace for 3 hours or so, this is the trip for you. Take the guesswork out of your glacier experience with our well trained and professional glacier guides. With multiple time slots per day, our Ice Fall Trek fits well into any Alaska vacation. Looking for a more exclusive experience? Join us on the Private Ice Fall Trek.
Since 1999, we’ve helped thousands of visitors explore the Matanuska Glacier on our Ice Fall Trek.
Advanced Trek:
This trip is appropriate for adventurous travelers seeking a full day of glacial exploration. Our experienced guides will take you to a remote area of the glacier and use a variety of rope and anchor systems to safely access some of the most spectacular features on the Matanuska Glacier! Features may include moulins, crevasses, and blue pools.
No previous glacier experience required, although a moderate level of fitness is required. Join us for a Private Advanced Trek if you would like a more unique adventure.
Skip the hike and take a helicopter with the Heli Explorer.
Ice Climbing:
A day of Ice Climbing with MICA Guides consists of a progression catered to the skills and endurance of the group. Our professional guides will teach you the basic skills needed to climb on moderate ice slopes, and then help you refine your climbing techniques to move towards more challenging and spectacular terrain throughout the day. No previous climbing experience is necessary, although a strong level of physical fitness is required. This trip is best suited for people looking for the most challenging and technical Matanuska Glacier experience. Join us for a Private Ice Climbing Tour as well.
Skip the hike and take a helicopter with the Ultimate Heli.
