Lake Maligne

We did this boat tour as part of our Tauck Jasper National Park trip. Jordon R was a funny knowledgeable patient tour guide and Kat was an excellent boat captain. Very nice way to see Spirit Island

Amazing day

Paul our driver and Rosie our host made this a memorable day. They worked brilliantly as a team and made sure we were well looked after. Paul had great knowledge of the area although I did give him a couple of new facts about Edith Cavell. The cruise on Lake Maligne was breathtaking. Thanks to Captain Keegan and Sam who gave us a great trip . The buffet lunch which was included was very good. All in all a fabulous day.

Great staff and comfortable bus.

Hannah, guide, and Thomas, driver... Gave great tour info and descriptions. They worked well together to make certain all our needs were met, and then some. Very organized and friendly. I was on crutches, so they made certain that I could get cart rides when needed. Highly recommend.

Amazing!

I am currently with on a tour group with Gate One in Jasper Alberta. My tour took us on your boat ride to tour Spirit Island. Our guides Keira Sam were outstanding. So through with the safety issues and shared so much history and humor! This is an experience you shouldn’t miss. The views are beyond spectacular.

Experience of a lifetime

Our two guides maintained a steady and delightful narrative of the region's history and what we were seeing. During stops and side events like lunch they could not have been more friendly. The Lake Maligne cruise is the experience of a lifetime.
