If you’re an adventure-seeker, then the Anchorage Helicopter and Glacier Dogsled Tour will be ideal. Experience unbelievable vistas from the helicopter as you whizz over the Alaskan wilderness, taking in the Chugach Mountains and Lake George en route to the Knik Glacier. Then get to know the huskies and mushers living at a dog mushing camp before experiencing the thrill of a dog sled ride - if you’re feeling brave, you can even take the reins!  

The Glacier Blue Kayak & Grandview Train Tour combines a breathtaking train ride on the Anchorage Railroad Department’s highly-rated Coastal Classic Train, before paddling across a glacial lake, taking care to avoid the large icebergs that float past as you make your way toward the looming face of the Spencer Glacier. 

If you want to step directly on a glacier, then the Matanuska Glacier Hike Day Tour will be an exciting possibility. Spend three hours exploring the otherworldly terrain of the Matanuska Glacier, marveling at towering ice walls, pools of meltwater - where you can fill your drinking bottle with the purest of glacial water! - and ancient ice formations.
