MICA Guides

Closed for the 2019 Season. Tours of the Matanuska Glacier resume May 13, 2020!

Explore a Glacier!

Leave the ship or bus behind and come explore the spectacular Matanuska Glacier with our professional guides. Check out our signature Ice Fall Trek to see the crevasses, seracs, and other spectacular ice formations.

Fun for ages 8 to 80! If you can walk at a leisurely pace (with breaks for photos) for 3 hours you can probably enjoy the trek.

Or learn to Ice Climb. Our step-by-step training will have you scaling vertical walls of ice. Great photo opportunities on this full-day of glacier fun!

“Should have done this at the end of our trip instead of the beginning because everything else paled in comparison.”

-TripAdvisor Review

“Our guide, Becca was fantastic. Her detailed narrative of the glacier, its history, and Alaska info in general was great! Moved us right along, however, she allowed us plenty of time for picture taking.”
