Anyone done the Wilderness Wildlife Glacier Experience? Thoughts?

I’m thinking about gifting this experience to my parents when they visit Anchorage next summer. The glacier cruise sounds amazing, and I love that it’s customizable! Any tips on what to wear or what I should make sure they don’t miss? Would love to hear from anyone who’s been.

Just got back from the Wilderness Wildlife Glacier Experience—WOW!

I did the tour last month, and it was unreal! The guides are super knowledgeable, and we saw so much wildlife—bears, moose, even eagles! The glacier cruise was breathtaking. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable outing. Just remember to wear a jacket; it gets chilly out there!
