Just did the Portage Glacier Cruise and it was epic!

I took the Portage Glacier Cruise last week and wow, what an experience! The shuttle ride down Turnagain Arm was breathtaking. The views are unreal! The one hour cruise up to the glacier was totally worth it. We even saw Dall sheep on the way! I'd recommend it to anyone who loves nature. Just be ready for some cold wind on the water!

Considering this glacier tour for a birthday gift!

I’m thinking about getting the Portage Glacier Cruise for my dad’s birthday. He loves the outdoors and I think this would be a hit! Has anyone done this recently? What was your favorite part? Any tips for making it special?
