5.0MICA Guides(1.636 reviews) - Best activity we did in Alaska Monday: 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..
5.0Nova Alaska Guides(571 reviews) - Great Matanuska glacier tour, great company! Monday: 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..
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..
