5.0MICA Guides(1.636 reviews) - Best activity we did in Alaska Sunday: 7:00 AM - 9:00 PM Helicopter Tours • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks • Climbing Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours
We did glacier cruises, water rafting, hiking, bus tours, and glacier trekking in Alaska, and I want to say glacier trekking is the best. We got to step on the glacier, taste the ice, and drink the glacier water. We are a group of 14 people with young children and teens. Our guides, Kandel and Taylor, were very patient with us from the beginning to the end. They also provided educational information that the kids felt they were fascinating. We highly recommend MICA guides if you want something fun to do in Alaska. See more..
5.0St. Elias Alpine Guides(842 reviews) - Incredible adventure with experienced guides Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing • Historical & Heritage Tours • Climbing Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
We had an amazing time in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park thanks to St. Elias Alpine Guides! They were professional, well-organized and friendly and made our trip a very fun and memorable experience . We enjoyed ice climbing, exploring ice caves, touring the abandoned copper mill, and an airplane trip to the backcountry with Wrangell Mountain Air. The park is truly a unique place and having experienced guides who are so passionate about what they do makes for a truly unforgettable (and safe!) experience. We would recommend this guiding company to anyone who wants to see the breathtaking beauty and cool history of this remote part of Alaska.See more..
5.0Nova Alaska Guides(571 reviews) - Great Matanuska glacier tour, great company! Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Multi-day Tours • River Rafting & Tubing • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Climbing Tours • Day Trips
Betsy, our tour guide was wonderful. She made the glacier hike a memorable experience for our 11 year old son and us. I would recommend Nova over Mica guides. We had a flat tire and missed our prepaid glacier hike with Mica guides. Mica had spots available on a later tour the same day but wanted us to pay $300 again to rebook. Be careful if you book with Mica in advance. They will take your money and throw their nonrefundable policy at you. Nova on the other hand gave us a 10% discount because after learning about the day we had without us even asking. Nova also does not charge full price for children under 12. Nova is a company with great customer service. Highly recommend them!See more..
5.0Kennicott Wilderness Guides(221 reviews) - As Good as it Gets Sunday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Climbing Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Kayaking & Canoeing
My favorite part was truly the entire experience! Walking on Root Glacier was something that will stand out in my memories for the rest of my life! The weather was difficult, 40 degrees with a hard frigid driving rain but our guide expertly kept us safe and having tons of fun on the ice. I felt like the pace was perfect. I also enjoyed listening to her narration and actually understanding the glacier rather than just looking at the glacier! My guide even gave me a ride back to McCarthy when the tour was over! She didn’t have to do that! It was above and beyond her duties and I am grateful for her actions!! Overall, a splendid experience. I have been on tours all over the world. I have also been to 60 of the 63 US National Parks. This experience goes right to the very top in all of my life! Thank you!See more..
5.0Alaska Guide Co(125 reviews) - Canoe tour of Valdez Glacier Lake for a family of 5 Climbing Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Kayaking & Canoeing
We live near Anchorage and always wanted to see Valdez. We planned our trip around this canoe tour, as we had heard good things about the guide company. We chose the canoe tour because it was affordable for a family of 5 and our 3 boys didn’t want to spend a whole day on a guided tour. Joe was a great guide and allowed our boys to skip rocks on the lake and walk on some large chunks of glaciers. Joe was personable and accommodating. I also appreciated being in the canoe because it allowed me to take some great photos of the experience. Joe also took some photos of our family, which are great memories of our trip to Valdez. Would definitely recommend!See more..
5.0Arrowhead Outfitters Alaska(6 reviews) - Top notch hunting experience in the Northern Brooks Range/Arctic Tundra Sunday: Multi-day Tours • Cultural Tours • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Taxis & Shuttles • Climbing Tours • Gear Rentals • Hiking & Camping Tours • Private Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Air Tours • Day Trips
Setting up the hunt was easy from the start working with Misty. She sent us recommended gear lists which made things simple if you're bringing your own camping gear. The contract was straight forward and if I had any questions she was always happy to answer questions or put me in touch with one of the other members of the team. Upon arrival to their base camp we were immediately given an update on fly times and what to expect as far as weather. The pilots were incredible and very informative. Arrowhead Outfitters went above and beyond when a piece of equipment got left on the shore. Outstanding group of people and our group cannot wait to do another fly-in hunt through them.See more..
We had a fabulous time on the Glacier trek on Matanuska Glacier with Mitch and Drew. These guides taught us so much about the glacier. They were fun and engaging while keeping us all safe. What an incredible experience! We had a group of 7, ranging in age from 12 to 43 with varying physical aptitudes. Everyone had a great time. They provided all the gear we needed. Since we had a rental RV, we even got to camp in their parking lot for free. Amazing!See more..
5.0Matanuska Glacier Helicopters(3 reviews) - This is the way to go! Helicopter Tours • Climbing Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours
We took a helicopter tour with Matanuska Glacier Helicopters and had a wonderful time. First, a quick flight up to the glacier where we landed for a fantastic hike with our guide. There was nothing like being way up on the glacier, just us, listening to nothing but the glacier! Hiking around, seeing the features, tasting the glacial waters... it was amazing. Then we were picked up by the copter and treated to a longer flight over the glacier and the surrounding area. Indescribably beautiful. The experience was a once in a lifetime adventure.See more..
