Awesome experience
If you are trying to decide if this tour is worth the extra cash just book it. It’s definitely value for money and a much more personal experience than the big bus! We were lucky enough to sit in the front cab which is noisy (but not unbearable) and if you get the chance to ride shotgun jump at it! Tori our driver and Tommy our guide were brilliant. Funny and personable and very knowledgeable. They really made the whole experience extra special for us! Thank you Team T n T!
Awesome tour with a souvenir cup with fireweed tea!!
Loved our tour today!!! Tommy and Andrew were amazing guides!!!! Definitely book this awesome tour!!!!!
An experience of a lifetime!
What an incredible experience. Our guide, Kaitlyn, was super knowledgeable, professional and she had a great personality. The glacier was so awesome. You feel the majesty. I would absolutely do this tour again. We felt humbled and a sense of stewardship. We must all do our part to preserve this global treasure.
Columbia Ice odyssey and sky walk
Ice Odyssey at the Columbia ice field. We had a really enjoyable and informative time on the ice field in a small group (9 people total). We spent time on the Athabaska glacier- dipped our faces in the water pouring off the top of the glacier surface and learned about ice mountaineering gear. We were given grips for our shoes so we wouldn’t slip and served herbal tea ( we could keep the cup as a souvenir). We then went on the sky walk which was impressive with spectacular views but far too busy which spoiled the experience. We also felt it was too expensive
The ice tour itself is...
The ice tour itself is fantastic. Keep in mind the vehicle is small and you need to be nimble to get in and out. The center where you meet and get your transfer to the icefield is an absolute crap show. Busy, crowded, unorganized. Pack your patience.
