Beautiful day trip - The 2 hour drive was beautiful and our driver Kim was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Our glacier guide Bennett was amazing. He was fun and you could tell he enjoyed his job. Our 12 year old son has decided he wants to come back when he’s older and be a glacier guide. The glacier hike was long and you needed to focus but the spikes helped and every step was even more beautiful. I would not recommend for anyone who struggles with balance.

Awesome glacier hike - Great tour of the enormous glacier, we learned a lot of interesting facts from Frank our glacier tour guide. Frank was patient with our group as some people had an easier time with the terrain than others. Things to note, it is cold there even in July, wear layers including a winter jacket, wear hiking shoes or boots even though they give you crampons, and know that the terrain isn’t even. All that being said, we loved the hike and would do it again. BTW, my husband and I are both over 60 yrs old. The honey and “wine” tasting were definitely not the highlight of the trip.

This was a great... - This was a great experience… Beautiful sites, and all the logistics taken care of by White Raven tours. Hiking the glacier was amazing. We had a brilliant beautiful day. I would definitely book this trip again so easy and so worth the money.

Fun excursion - A 2 1/2 hour drive to get there from Anchorage but worthwhile. The surface of the glacier is bumpy and uneven but we had crampons so that helped. We dressed warmly but was shedding our coats from hiking around the glacier. Lots of beautiful blue ice and plenty of dirt and gravel also.

Great guide - Guide was fantastic. Offered a 360 drone of the glacier and group along the way. We had an adventurous group and believe we were able to hike a little higher than some other groups. Great experience.

Matanuska glacier tour with honey and wine tasting - Really great tour and adventure on the ice. You get some nice scenery enroute to the glacier and the friendly driver narrates. You will stop halfway to buy your own lunch and use the restroom. The glacier experience is great. Guides get you safely to great picture spots and provide interesting facts. You may be limited by the age and agility of participants in your group. The honey and wine stop was fine, don't expect much. You may find a tasty souvenir. The ride seemed longer on the way back, but worth the trip.

A bucket list! - We had a wonderful time! The trip was fantastic. The glacier is amazing and the glacier tour guides were phenomenal. Pack a lunch, water, and dress warm, with layers! Hiking boots are a must. The wine and honey at the end is really just a brief stop, not really a wine tasting.

Fantastic! - Fantastic! A clean spacious van with driver Kim picked us up and drove us on a roughly two hour drive out of town. She had plenty to tell us on the way. We stopped at a grocery store for snacks about halfway there. The glacier was amazing…. The hike was a solid two hours and absolutely breathtaking. We stopped at a small shop for a brief local honey and wine tasting before driving back to Anchorage.

Glacier tour - The overall trip was good and the glacier was fascinating but the people at the check-in desk before we started directed us to give a $20 tip to our guide. That’s not how tips work. Given the price of the event, this was a real turnoff for us.
