  We had an incredible time driving snow machines out to the ice caves on Nelchina Glacier with Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours. It was a 40 mile ride through snowy forests... read more and over frozen rivers through picture perfect Alaskan wilderness. The ride itself was worth the price, but when we got to the ice cave, our expectations were blown away. The cave was enormous, intensely blue, and so far from civilization that we had it all to ourselves.

This was a long day, and we saw more moose than we did humans. I couldn't have been more happy with this experience, and everyone in our group, from beginner to experienced snowmobilers, finished the day tired and happy.

We also stayed at Dan and Matti's cottages. They were extremely friendly and helpful. The cottages are beautiful, I wish we had stayed a little longer to explore more of what the area has to offer. I'm sure next time we go to Alaska we will book another tour with Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours.

Thanks Dan and Matti!!!

Dan and Matti get you outfitted to stay nice and warm and even have hot chocolate along the trail. We saw 3 bald eagles. And when we stopped on the river and shut the machines off, we listened to the silence that many of us never get to hear. Quiet, with a little wind and a few birds chirping. Magical. It was a perfect day and a great way to start my vacation. Thank you Dan for leading me along the trail and teaching me about how these particular glaciers were formed. I loved driving the snowmobile as well. If you want to travel near a glacier in the winter this is a wonderful trip.

We decided to do the 4 hour backwoods atv with Dan. The decision was the best of our vacation. My wife wanted a RIDE, not a kiddie tour, and that 4 hours was everything we had hoped for.
