Canada · COLUMBIA ICEFIELD TOURS IN JASPER
Good columbia icefield tours from jasper fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Walk on the Athabasca Glacier, ride an Ice Explorer, and cross the glass-bottom Skywalk on this memorable Columbia Icefield outing.
“Very lucky to have the experience of walking on such an amazing part of mother nature”
Ride the Ice Explorer, cross the Glacier Skywalk, and see Athabasca Falls on a scenic 7-hour tour from Jasper.
“I don’t usually do bus tours, but I can say after this I would probably do more. The bus driver was well educated on the ice fields and trip. Pulled over when he could for wildlife viewing and kept the trip moving along. The buffet lunch was another great surprise. The quality of the food and the cleanliness of the facilities at the ice fields center was 5 star. Ample rest rooms. The only thing that was a detractor was the arrangement and clarification of pickup time and location. We were not staying at one of the hotels that offered pickup”
Walk a glass-bottomed platform 918 feet above Sunwapta Valley, with glacier views, mountain scenery, and interpretive displays.
“Great experience, we were really lucky with the weather, nice sunny day. So picturesque, the mountains in the background and the valley below make for stunning pictures.”
Review of Ice Odyssey at Columbia Icefield, a small-group Athabasca Glacier tour with an exclusive stop, guide, and low-impact travel.
“Great experience. Smaller group and we went to an area that was only our group and not crowded. Tommy was great. I would recommend.”
Drive Jasper to Lake Louise with 76 audio stories, glacier views, waterfalls, and flexible offline guidance for just $16.99 per car
“We really liked the flexibility. We were able to travel at our own pace. The app knew where we were, so we could stop and start whenever we wanted to. The parks are spectacular and the narrated trip along the Icefields Pkwy was a great way to get a "taste." Especially good for senior citizens!”
Walk onto Athabasca Glacier in a small group, ride an all-terrain vehicle, try mountaineering gear, and hear its story from expert guides.
“The activity was canceled. I hope to get the money refunded, but since the service was not performed it has to be terrible”
Walk on Athabasca Glacier, view Peyto and Bow lakes, and cross the Columbia Icefield Skywalk on a 10-hour Rockies tour.
“Our guide Mr.Kenneth was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He guides us every point, took some amazing photographs and on time every time. I highly recommend this. As a courtesy, we were requested for a tip amount at the end (optional). We gave it since we were satisfied with the experience.”
Pick a mountain, a shoreline or a table.
