Beautiful Matanuska Hike
Holly from PicTours Alaska and Chris, our glacier hike guide, were wonderful. Holly kept us well informed and narrated along the way to Matanuska Glacier. Chris made sure we were all safe and gave us plenty of opportunities to stop, take in the beauty and snap some photos. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to hike a glacier. You will have a wonderful time and come home with memories to last a lifetime.

Highly recommended this...
Highly recommended this tour if you are interested in knowing glacier or just want to take some nice photos. Holly is our tour guide today, and she is very professional and friendly. A fun fact is that she has a good taste of playing music during our ride. You will meet another certified glacier tour guide, he is very knowledgeable and professional. This tour is friendly for a solo traveler.

Book it! It's breathtaking!
This was my second trip to Alaska and was supposed to be my redemption. It exceeded my expectations! Hunter is super knowledgeable, funny, and made things so fun for the whole group. I was in awe the entire time. I have already recommended this tour and Hunter for my colleagues planning trips to Alaska.
via Tripadvisor
Absolutely amazing and totally worth it!
Let me just say, that this was absolutely one of the best tours I have been on! Our guide Hunter was the best!!! He was so knowledgeable about everything in Alaska and would drop so much info about everything! He was friendly, funny and very attentive to our group! Would absolutely use this tour and guide next time I come back with my family!
via Tripadvisor
Breathtaking.
I am a travel agent, I have been on many tours and booked many tours for clients. This tour was simply breathtaking, good for any age and it was an easy hike. What made this tour even better was Hunter! He’s very knowledgeable, we learned so much about Alaska! He has great energy which made the long day not feel so long. When I book tours I will always ask for him for myself or my clients.

REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Anchorage.
How much does REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier cost?
+
Prices start at $325 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Anchorage usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Anchorage is not rushed.
Is REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Anchorage, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Anchorage can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Anchorage and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Anchorage within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Anchorage?
+
Anchorage is the staging point for glacier cruises out of Whittier and Seward, Denali flightseeing, wildlife conservation centre visits, dog sledding and northern lights chases in winter. Long transfer times make itinerary honesty essential. On Outty we rank every Anchorage experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include PRISTINE - Wilderness, Wildlife, Glacier Experience in Anchorage, Anchorage Trolley's Deluxe City Tour, Anchorage Trolley's 1-Hour City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Anchorage?
+
June to August for glaciers, September to March for aurora. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Anchorage?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier?
+
Included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier?
+
We meet 10 minutes before departure. Wheels roll at set departure time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about REMOTE - Glacier Hiking Adventure on Matanuska Glacier?

Across 21 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, photo opportunities. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works. One thing to know: Expect real walking or climbing: reviewers mention the effort involved.
