Traveler reviews
Incredible Trip
Awesome experience! Sarah and Kira were wonderful guides. A must do!
A must do when in the Rockies!
Absolutely brilliant cruise to Spirit Island! Sam and Nelson were fantastic - really engaging, funny and full of great information, while also showing genuine care for everyone’s experience. They made the trip feel really personal, asked questions and were so attentive throughout. The scenery was absolutely stunning too. A really memorable experience and we’d definitely recommend!
Great tour with great guides.
We had a great tour today with Captain Grace and Mitchell. The sights were amazing and their storytelling actually made the trip. A great way to spend the afternoon.
Most beautiful scene
This is a must for visitors to the Jasper area. I have traveled extensively in the United States and Canada, and I can honestly say that the view at Spirit Island is the most amazing, beautiful, and spectacular view I have ever seen. It is breathtaking. I will go back.Most
We loved it!
This boat cruise was one of the highlights of our trip to the Canadian Rockies. Our guides - Sam and Keegan - shared lots of history and information on the area and answered all questions with ease and humor. I highly recommend this experience.
