My husband and I visited Alaska for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We took the Matanuska Glacier tour with Bill and the Northern Lights tour with Matt. We had such an amazing time with both of our guides. They were knowledgeable, safe, funny, and passionate about what they do! They made these experiences unforgettable!

After 3 days of a 5-day trip to Fairbanks, all with the intention of seeing the aurora, I was freaking out because the cloud cover wouldn't budge. Despite having a list of the most popular spots to see the lights, I was batting .000. So I did the thing I had told myself I wouldn't and booked a chaser tour. And it was completely worth it! I called Greatland Adventures at 4 p.m. on the day of and they had 1 spot. Mike picked me up five hours later and I'd spend the next 6 hours with him and a fun group of like-minded people who happened to pick a rough week to visit the area. While driving around, Mike was not only knowledgeable about the aurora and able to explain in plainspeak with colorful metaphors but also full of other stories from his travels and a great conversation. He kept his van-ful of people engaged the whole time. We ended up trying three spots, using his, his partner's and his company's office team (which stayed up with us) to track weather patterns in addition to aurora intensity and attraction. The first spot didn't work for the lights but provided an amazing night sky view until the clouds returned. The second also didn't pan out. But the third, which happened to be at Greatland's property in Fairbanks that Mike also calls home when he's working, provided terrific views and even better pictures considering the circumstances. I wasn't able to find the lights like this on my own. I told Mike he saved my trip. By 6 a.m., when I was dropped back off at my rental, most everyone was still buzzing with excitement.

Wonderful experience with a knowledgeable guide. Despite cloudy weather, he was able to find us a great location for viewing. We even stopped on the way home because the Aurora had started back up. Thank you Jacob for an amazing experience and wonderful pictures!! Bucket list item checked.

Bill was very enthusiastic and excited to share his knowledge of Alaska. He went out of his way to make sure we got the best views and was very attentive to the needs of our group. We made many different stops that showcased the incredible diversity of Alaska. The weather cooperated and we got many of the best pictures of our weeklong trip. Go Chiefs!

Outstanding service from knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed spending time with them, they provided excellent service and insight. Very nice way to explore Alaska

The views of the glacier were spectacular. We lucked out as fall was starting so we got the added bonus of seeing the leaves changing. Diego was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and took into account everyone's abilities. He would assist where possible or show alternate paths if you are unable. This was a great experience. Don't worry about walking on the ice. You will wear spikes to grip the ice. As long as you listen to your guide, everything is safe and you will walk away with some cool pics.

Our 11 days in Alaska and Canada via land and a cruise were GREAT! We loved the six days we had on land and the eight on the inside passage north to south from Seward to Vancouver. We got a great deal on Radiance of The Seas and it was better than I hoped. The room was small and the ship had some age on it but we had a balcony and enjoyed every minute as we cruised south in amazement at God's unbelievable and big, make that really big nature show of mountains, forests and glaciers. Just amazing! The Radiance staff was very, very friendly; the food was very good and the entertainment enjoyable. Vancouver was also amazing. It's a modern city of 2.6 million people in the greater Vancouver area and everyone we met was very friendly. It was super easy to get around and a Lyft and Uber to get around with never a wait over 10 minutes. The city has the look and feel of being news. The huge glass skyscrapers were magnificent. Our one night we could get a seating at Le Crocodile in VC was over the top for great wines, food and service. So great!!! Then why did I not give the trip five stars? Our reason for spending 3 days in Anchorage was to be able to give my lovely wife Ann the chance to see the Northern Lights - her top "bucket list litem." Sadly, though we got up every night looking from midnight to 3AM we never saw anything. Everybody we talked to said the same thing; sometimes you just don't get to see them. I was sad she did not click that one off our list. Otherwise, the trip was 5 Stars! Larry

We were fortunate enough to have Phil V. as our tour guide. He knows everything about Alaskan history, hiking, restaurants, wildlife, and more. We have never had a better guide. It was luck that put us together for 3 1/2 days. We enjoyed every minute with him. He took all the stress out of our first trip to Alaska.

My husband and I got a private tour since we were the only ones that showed up - which was awesome. The tour guide was friendly and casual. At times, it felt like we were moving at a slower pace than necessary and I would have liked to have made it further up the glacier. Still think it was a great experience, but be aware you are only on the ice for a couple hours - you are not frozen in time with the glacier!

This is once in life time tour seeing glacier up close and walking on the glacier! Seeing caves and crevices of glacier! Breath taking views and life time memory

Great tour! All 9 members of our group (from young adults to seniors) enjoyed the tour with guide Tim. He was very informative and answered all our questions. Tim texted before our tour to confirm the time/location and showed up on time. Would highly recommend this tour for a short, informative tour of Anchorage. It was perfect for our free day in Anchorage after our cruise and before our evening flight home.

Was so amazing. Our guide Alyssa was fantastic. She told us all about the glacier and answered all our questions. She kept us safe and on our feet. She pointed out different things about the glacier and why it can be very dangerous. Very knowledgeable. She was fun to be on the glacier with. Great sense of humor. If you go ask for her to be your guide.

Did the anchorage to Whittier with Bill. It poured rain in Whittier but Bill promised clearing before Anchorage. He did not let us down. We saw 4 separate moose and a mama black bear with 3 cubs. Bill is so knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Alaska. I would recommend Bill and Greatland Adventures to anyone looking for a great day trip. THANK YOU BILL

I took this hike solo while my husband was on a work trip, I am so glad I did! So convenient , they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. Bill was an amazing guide with tremendous knowledge of the area and glacier. It was a gorgeous day with new snowfall. The glacier is breathtaking, it felt like you were on a different planet. The silence and serenity is indescribable, breathtaking! The restaurant for lunch was great! I would highly recommend this tour!

Views were spectacular! Great variation of things to see on glacier. Bill was a great guide! Lots of knowledge of anchorage and glaciers. Included lunch was also a nice touch. Would highly recommend!
