Breathtaking views
Great experience on the skywalk with breathtaking views! Learned a lot too along the walk! Pretty nerve wracking if heights scare you but would 100% recommend!
A Memorable Columbia Icefield Adventure & Glacier Skywalk Experience
Our trip to the Columbia Icefield Adventure and Glacier Skywalk was truly a memorable experience. We booked it through the Pursuit Pass at 3:30 pm. From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organised. The team knew exactly what they were doing, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. A special mention to our driver, Nick, who was absolutely brilliant at his job. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information throughout the journey. His guidance made the trip even more enjoyable. When we finally arrived at the Icefield, safety was clearly a top priority. We were advised to be careful while walking on the glacier, and the staff were very professional. We had around 25 minutes on the glacier itself, which went by quickly as we were busy taking pictures and enjoying the incredible surroundings. The Glacier Skywalk was a spectacular addition to the tour, offering breathtaking views over the Sunwapta valley and a unique experience. We also spent time at the Discovery Centre, which was a great facility with informative displays, Starbucks, clean washrooms, and a well-equipped dining area. The restaurant and café had a good selection of food, including burgers, pizzas, and poutine, making it a convenient stop. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and one that our family will remember for a long time. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Canadian Rockies!
I wish we didn’t bother.
Bad value for money, Views you can see from along the road. The bridge itself is an engineering work of art & the glass bottom is why I gave it two starts but the overall experience is naff. Money & more importantly time that could be better spent elsewhere. You have to get on a bus to & from which takes as just as long as you’re on the bridge for & silly warm (no air con)
Great expierence with...

Stay away
Stay away from this tourist trap. The transfer to the icefield is an absolute crap show. Busy, crowded, unorganized. Pack your patience.
