Matanuska Glacier Overnight Luxury Camping

Imagine spending the day exploring amazing features of blue glacier ice. And, in the most remote and private areas of the Matanuska Glacier. First, taking in scenic views from the helicopter passenger seat as you soar over the valley and land onto the ice, far from the crowds. Your professional glacier guides will be there to lead you to some of the best ice on this 26 mile long valley glacier. In contrast to the other explorations offered on the glacier, this one becomes quite different with an overnight experience on the ice!
