MICA Guides is located the Matanuska Glacier. They offer ice climbing and ice trekking. No experience or gear is necessary. I do recommend having sunglasses, sun screen, and some waterproof pants/ a jacket though. We had people of all skill levels and fitness levels in our group. Rich our guide was really great. This was literally one of the most... More

I told our guide Alyssa that this experience had to tie with a McKinley summit flight seeing tour that we also went on. It was breath taking to fly over glaciers, but to actually walk on one and see the formations and the blue ice close up, hear it, drink the water, and fully take it all in, is incredible!!... More

Me and my husband took the Ice Climbing tour during the Labor day weekend. Julie and Matt were our guides. We had a wonderful experience. They were very knowledgeable. We started at 10:30 AM and completed the tour around 5:30PM. Everything was perfectly arranged. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is ready for a bit strenuous activity. More

Our tour guide for the Matanuska ice trek (Alyssa) was absolutely wonderful. We learned so much about glaciers and their formation/history in the 3 hours that we spent with her. I definitely recommend going with Mica Guides if you want to do anything on the glaciers. They are extremely knowledgeable and well-trained. More

I found Mica guides through Google because I was interested in seeing the Matanuska Glacier, and, once I arrived, found that they did everything from flight-seeing tours to kayaking to trips into the Denali Park. Best guides for the money. If you want to do 9 days in Alaska, let them be the ones to show you how to do... More

I found MICA through google and setup an ice climbing trip. Alyssa and Matt were our guides and did a great job setting up the climb, teaching us technique, and helping us up the ice! I'd reccomend this to anyone who loves the outdoors, it is something I'll always remember and reccomend to friends! -Derek More

We spent two days with MICA on the Matanuska glacier and it was the absolute highlight of our Alaskan trip. Incredible vistas, helpful and friendly guides. Neither of us had any experience ice climbing before and our guide, Matt, was completely patient and supportive. He had us climbing in no time. Incredible experience that I would do again, and with... More

I found MICA Guides via a Google search, so I didn't know what to expect. But from the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and customer-oriented! In particular, my guide, Jeff from New Zealand, was AWESOME!!! I had some experience rock climbing, but this was my first time ice climbing. He was incredibly patient, supportive, and thorough! I...
