Winter Glacier Tour Features
The glacier feels like a different environment in the winter than in the summer. Winter tours walk through the proglacial area (in front of the glacier) to access the ice face and walk inside frozen crevasses and tunnels. Come explore the ice during all seasons. We are open every day of the year!

Donating to Alaskan Charities
Your tour fees support Alaskan's in need
Dr. Sarah's Alaska Tours donates a portion of yearly profits to Alaskan charities. Society can be measured by how we treat the most vulnerable among us (children, elderly, animals, etc.). We love Alaska and believe in giving back to our home state. Donations this year will support a MatSu charity for families in need and a dog rescue group in Fairbanks (Arctic German Shepherd Rescue, FaceBook).
