Matanuska Glacier Overnight Luxury Camping
Imagine spending the day exploring magnificent features of blue glacier ice. Simultaneously, 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 onto the ice, far from the crowds. Your professional glacier guides then lead you to their favorite features on this 26 mile long valley glacier. In contrast to the other explorations offered on the glacier, this one becomes quite different with a glacier overnight experience on the ice!
Take off by helicopter over the majestic Matanuska Valley with Sheep Mountain Air. A professional glacier crew with MICA Guides will help you load up in Glacier View and send you off. This private and exclusive experience offers amazing views and photo opportunities from the helicopter. This flight takes you to a remote glacier camp. Once you land, get a tour of the camp base and settle into your luxury settings
The glacier adventure during the day is up to you. The base Glacier Overnight package includes a camp hike to some features nearby the camp. If you are looking for more adventure you can choose between the Helicopter Explorer or an Ultimate Helicopter Adventure to add on too!
This trip is the crème de la crème of an Alaskan experience! Perfect picture opportunities are infinite out there. Typically this is where a day on the ice would end, not with this glacier overnight tour.
