It is at this awe-inspiring location that the guests will be treated to [grilled lobster tails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-of-shangrila) and rubbed Canadian prime rib eye steak bites. While this fantastic meal is being prepared, guests will be touring the glacier's ice caves. They also have the option of partaking in a [heli-yoga session](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-season-of-spring) on the ice. Finally, they can warm up with a dip inside a secluded hot spring.
