I dunno, I did a glacier hike last year as part of an Alaskan cruise and going in thought it might not be amazing, but it had seriously great reviews (and you'd think there would be a few dumbasses bitching about it being cold or something, or "yeah it's cool but not worth the price", but there was none of that)... and it was worth every penny.
I could see this being similar... might think, so you go up, look, go down... but might be surprised at the awesomeness.

I did an Alaska cruise back in 2016 and absolutely loved it. The scenery was breathtaking and being on ship again after disembarking from the Concord for the last time nearly 30 years prior brought me a joy I couldn't hardly believe. We even had some mildly rough seas the first day - the ship was rolling and pitching, shit was sliding around, people were pissing and moaning and getting sick and I was in heaven.
