Considering the Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip for my parents—thoughts?

I’m thinking of gifting my parents the Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip. They love nature and have some experience with kayaking, but not much rafting. I really want them to enjoy the beautiful views! Any tips on what to expect or if it’s a good fit for them? I know they’d love the wildlife aspect!

Just finished the Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip—wow!

I just got back from the Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip and it was an unforgettable experience! The Class II and III rapids were so much fun, and the views of the glacier were absolutely stunning. Our guide was super knowledgeable and pointed out so much wildlife. Highly recommend asking for a paddle raft if you want to be more active; my group had a blast paddling through the rapids!
