Thinking of gifting the Matanuska Glacier hike!

I’m considering getting this for my friend’s birthday. Has anyone done the full-day glacier hike? How was it? I love the idea of taking cool photos, but I’m wondering if it’s too strenuous since my buddy isn’t super into hiking. Any tips on what to expect?

What’s included in the Matanuska Glacier hike?

So I'm looking into this glacier hike to gift my sister. Can someone break down what all is included? I see transportation from Anchorage, but what about food? Do they provide snacks, or should I bring my own?
