Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Votre croisière de 90 minutes sur le lac commence à quai près du hangar à bateaux et du chalet du lac Maligne. Les bateaux partent environ à l'heure et votre billet est bon pour n'importe quel voyage pendant la journée choisie. Après l'embarquement, vous vous éloignerez du quai et aurez droit à une visite complète et interprétative de l'histoire unique de la région et de son écologie particulière. Chaque bateau est vitré et entièrement chauffé, vous assurant de rester au chaud tout en profitant de vues majestueuses tout au long du voyage.
Depuis Spirit Island, qui n'est accessible que par bateau près du centre du lac, vous aurez droit à certaines des vues les plus spectaculaires du monde. Des pics déchiquetés et enneigés entourent un lac aux eaux bleues vibrantes et une forêt ancienne. La faune rôde régulièrement sur le rivage, alors gardez votre appareil photo à proximité et vos sens en alerte pendant que vous scannez la zone à la recherche d'aigles, d'ours et de cerfs qui y habitent. Les photographes amateurs et experts auront droit à d'incroyables opportunités pour tenter de documenter la splendeur naturelle qui les entoure, tout en reconnaissant qu'aucune photographie ne peut rendre justice au paysage alpin qui les entoure. Chaque croisière dure environ 90 minutes, après quoi vous retournerez au hangar à bateaux où vous pourrez prendre une boisson chaude ou manger un morceau du lodge et du chalet à proximité.

Our captain Kat and tour guide Julie were fabulous! The tour was filled with useful information without it being excessive. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. Kat gave us a great ride and Julie’s bubbly spirit kept us going. A spectacular team!
Sydney and Grace were amazing guides! They were both hilarious and informative, we learnt so much about the history of Maligne and Jasper. We had the best time! Thank you!
The boat cruise on lake and Spirit Island stop was nothing short of breathtaking; Safe on board with Capable young boat crew
Our guide Michael and captain Sydney were incredible. Don't miss this experience. Out of all of the tours we took while in Banff and Jasper, it was by far our favorite 😍
We had an incredible experience on our July 26 cruise. Assembling passengers and embarking/disembarking was well organized and efficient. The 2x2 seating is comfortable with plenty of large windows for viewing. There is a small deck at the rear (stern) for anyone wanting to step outside for photos (standing room only). Captain Nelson was fantastic, gliding us smoothly over the lake, gently crossing wakes from passing boats, minimizing wakes when passing canoes and very smooth docking skills. Tour guide Asher was excellent and an asset to have on staff. Truely the best guide we experienced during our two weeks traveling Banff+Jasper. He was welcoming, charismatic and knowledgable. His stories with integrated jokes felt natural and not scripted. The 15-20 min stop at Spirit Island gave us plenty of time to explore and soak in the views. Although you could easily spend hours watching the views change as clouds roll by with their shadows rolling along the landscape. On the return ride is when Asher really shined. We had never experienced on any other tour what came next. In addition to asking the entire boat if there were any questions, he personally stopped at each row of seats to check-in with each person or couple to see if they had any questions/comments and make sure they were having a good time. If your answer was simply "OK" or "good" he didn't just walk away to the next person but would engage in light conversation by asking where you were traveling from, or seen wildlife, or if you had questions on the surrounding area or region. You could tell passengers loved the interaction as both sides would soon exchange stories or wildlife photos. Nelson and Asher kept all on board entertained so well we didn't realize the ride each way was over (45 min each way went by quickly). At the end everyone on board had smiles and no one appeared bored. An excellent cruise and well worth taking.
Capt Maddie and Elle did a great job!
This boat ride was fabulous. Er had a fun guide named Maxwell who gave us a coupon for dinner at the Chalet that was also outstanding. The views on this boat cruise were outstanding, and there were good photo opportunities, and there was a lot of history shared and Maxwell crack some funny jokes, and it was very family friendly and we lucked out and had amazing weather
The girl tour guider is very professional, friendly. We recieved information not only on the lake and mountain but also cultural and environmental. We also paid our acknowledgment to indigenous people. Asher and this girl from U of Toronto are the best.
