Crazy for the bear!

Sophie and Bri made this trip! Their fabulous facts, well timed stops and watching out for all wildlife were so good. The lunch was amazing too. Such choice, and the fish was delicious. Thank you!

Amazing experience, thrilling but not scary

Buses are great, drivers are skilled. The glacier is shrinking day by day, so get the experience while you can. Icefield restaurants had basic items, which were not bad.

Underwhelming

This was a very underwhelming tour. It was not worth the price we paid. We were only allowed to stand in a small area on the ice field. The buffet lunch was average. The skywalk was cool.

Excellent Spectacular Day tour

Excellent day trip with very knowledgeable tour guide and driver Josh who was great and very informative. This day was the highlight in our 3 week trip which included Alaska Cruise, Vancouver, Rocky Mountaineer Vancouver to Jasper and stays in Jasper and Banff. The scenery on this day exceeded all we had seen before and was absolutely amazing and despite this being a long day it ended too soon. So many amazing sites, Glaciers galore, a walk on the Columbia Glacier, Lake Peyto, Lake Louise, Sky Walk, Athabasca Waterfall. Cannot recommend enough.
