We were on an organized tour out of Anchorage. Great weather allowed us to have a fantastic experience. The guides were so knowledgeable and accommodating. The glacier is beautiful. It reminded me of an ice covered southern Utah.

I loveeed this tour of the glacier! We got to go on top of the glacier and look at crevasses and even heard two of them crack open. Our tour guide was Sophie and she was soooo silly and taught us so much about the glaciers. She’s the BEST! I would definitely come back again😊 …

Amazing glacier hike in Glacier View, Alaska! Exploring that icy landscape, posing for photos amidst the formations, and taking in the unique views of the glacier and the water, must have incredible adventure. Bonus, kids as old as age 5 can do this! Bring bottles to Cary home glacier water as soveneier!

Toll fee by a private owner cost 45 bucks for an adult and for children it would be 25. The glacier itself is massive and amazing. We had a private walking tour with two children seven and nine years old. Next time it will be the helicopter tour.
