Traveler reviews
One of a kind experience
Great experience, the glacier is awe inspiring. Staff were also very courteous and patient, kudos to them. Sam is the BEST BUS DRIVER EVER! (Yes, mom, Sam is eating all his vegetables.). Additional thanks to Sam for letting me peek under the bus and answering lots of questions. Shout out to Aaron, great guide.
This tour is awesome
Wonderful excursion! The Icefields were amazing and the stops along the way were breathtaking. Great day!
Great guides/experience
Great guides create a great experience and Amy and Bree did just that. The waterfalls Sky Walk and Glacier walk were everything you could wish for. Only blip was how crowded the sky walk was.
Unfortunately not recommended!!!!
The price for the service provided is way too expensive. Pure tourist trap. The glacier was easier to see from below (Discovery Center) than from above, where we got off. Hundreds of tourists are hauled there by bus every fifteen minutes and can walk for 20 minutes in a relatively small cordoned-off area. What can be seen of the glacier is worse than from below. Better to do the tour alone or stop and take a photo. The included buffet was more cold than warm, but the taste was okay.
Best
I highly recommend this tour. I am from Korea, but they stated really clear and speak with humor, and it is basically informative. Brian and Scott are amazing and best driver and guide. I really appreciate it.
