Thinking of gifting the Matanuska Glacier Adventure Tour!

I'm considering this tour for my parents' anniversary. They've always wanted to see a glacier up close, and this looks like an incredible experience! I'm a bit worried about whether they can handle the hike since they're in their late 60s. Has anyone done this tour? How strenuous is the hike?

Just got back from the Matanuska Glacier Adventure Tour!

OMG, that glacier hike was incredible! We walked on ice that was like 10,000 years old and the blue ice caves were unreal. The guides were super knowledgeable and made sure we felt safe the whole time. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Alaska!
