Why Guests Rave About This Ride

“Gold Buckle Tours is a fantastic operation here in the Matsu Valley. Through Gold Buckle my family was able to get out and see the Knik Glacier for the first time. The machines were enclosed, comfortable, and smooth as we went over various terrains to include sand, gravel, roots, and multiple water crossings. I highly recommend using Gold Buckle Tours to get out and see the beautiful views that the Last Frontier has to offer. 10/10 experience for me.”
Jeffrey P.
“My husband and I went on the full 6 hour tour with the Alaska Gold Buckle Tour Company and had a great time. The scenery is phenomenal and the service was excellent. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive guide. Dallas knew the trail well and knew how to get us through the more difficult spots. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit a glacier up close. It is a once in a lifetime experience."
