Knik Glacier Air Boat Tours?
Posted: Fri April 10, 2009 01:35 AM UTC

We plan on being in the Mat Su valley and have read about the use of the Knik Glacier for many film crews because it is so photographic. Any opinions on the air boat tours. Any recommendation of either of the two air boat operators. We don't have lots of time, but thought it might be a nice side trip to get closer to the glacier.

If there are better photographic opportunities in the Mat-Su area please let us know. Not professionals - but would like some amazing images to come home with.

Thanking you in advance for any responses..

Haven't done the air boat trip though I know they are super loud and annoying when I am trying to fish in peace and quiet ;) The Matanuska Glacier can be driven to and walked on (even climbed with a tour guide) and would give you some great ice shots. Access is east of Palmer.
