Traveler reviews
Weather must be clear skies
Omg. This is such a must do. But you must pick a day with clear weather or skip it.
A terrific way to see multiple glaciers
Captains Shane and Alex led a great boat tour with lots of insights in the local geography and culture.
5 Star weather gave us a 10 star tour
We took the 1pm cruise on October 4. The weather was absolutely STUPENDOUS and the scenery was spectacular. Our captain, Ari from Ontario and our guide, Jess from Brule, did a great job - Jess was very engaging and informative. Our guests from Germany were in awe of how beautiful Canada can be.
Great tour!!
Excellent tour and beautiful scenery. Staff was in credible ( Capt Kira and Ari). Super polite and knowledgeable. Really emphasized the historical cultural relationship of the area to indigenous people. Highly recommend!!
Great tour of Maligne Lake
We had a fabulous guide. The boat tour to Sprit Island was beautiful. Tour guide told us so many interesting facts about the lake, spirit Island, and the ecology of the area.. The lake is magnificent and definitely worth going to see.
