Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Vertrekkend vanuit het centrum, klim je aan boord van de Ice Explorer (een zeswielige kolos van een voertuig) en rijd je over het oppervlak van deze glinsterende ijslaag. Heb je dorst? Je krijgt de kans om zuiver, koud water rechtstreeks van de gletsjer te drinken. Hen, worden vervoerd naar de glazen vloer Glacier Skywalk, opknoping van de rand van de Sunwapta-vallei op 918-voet (280 m), voor een ongeëvenaard uitzicht op de kloof beneden en de bergen om je heen.
Deze tour reist halverwege de wereldberoemde Icefields Parkway, erkend als een van de topritten ter wereld langs tal van Rocky Mountain-toppen, gletsjers, watervallen en smaragdgroene meren.
Een korte stop biedt een van de vele close-up gletsjer uitzichten van de dag.
Je bezoekt Bow Lake, een van de grootste meren van het Banff National Park. Bow Lake wordt gevoed door smeltwater van de Bow Glacier in het Wapta Icefield en ligt aan de voet van Bow Summit.

Jake was an excellent guide on the Columbia Icefields Parkway Tour! He was very funny, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting information throughout the day. He also made a real effort to spot wildlife for the group, and thanks to him we even saw a bear! His enthusiasm and energy made the experience even more enjoyable.
We came to Banff to celebrate my daughter‘s birthday. Jake was our tour guide for the day. It just worked out that my daughter and I were the only two people on the tour bus.Jake was absolutely phenomenal. He was kind, funny, so knowledgable about the national park. We must’ve asked him 1000 questions and he answered every one. We were with him for 10 hours! The time went so quickly we learned so much. I would highly recommend this tour and Jake is definitely an asset to this company!! My daughter will never forget this birthday!!
Fantastic experience. Being on the glacier was awesome. Neil was a great guide - knowledgable and accomodating. Great. Highly recommended.
Well organised right down to pick up times. Great small bus with large viewing windows. Jake our guide was so knowledgeable - best tour guide I have had the pleasure of taking us on a tour. Stops along the way were brilliant from snow covered chalets, semi frozen lakes, wildlife explained as we went and the most stunning scenery at every turn. The Athabasker Glacier stunned. The whole day was far better than anticipated.
Pickup at hotel was uneventful. Simon kept us entertained along the way with facts, stories, picture and rest stops (3 hours each way). Box Lunch was very generous, matching our pre-trip request. Main tour of glacier and Skywalk is run by the Atabasca Glacier organization, and the same for all tour companies. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and glad we did it, but probably wouldn't repeat it on our next trip as there are too many other things to do.
Absolutely the best tour I’ve ever been on!! The scenery was outstanding and our guide Roz was phenomenal. We saw so much, learned so much and really had an amazing time!! Highly recommend!!
Although the tour was long, it passed quickly with all the amazing sights of snow covered mountains and iced over lakes. Walking on the Athabasca Glacier was the highlight for me. Neil was an excellent tour guide providing interesting insights along the way and answering all our questions. He was relaxed and entertaining which helped the drive pass quickly. The lunch provided was delicious. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.
The experience of stepping onto a true glacier was incredible! Our driver (Andy) was knowledgeable, engaging and supportive - for those that may have been timid about the walking. Also a blessing: the sun 'broke through' during our stay!
It has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, to be able to see the glacier, we hit snow in Banff, everything very safe, the first Service, we passed by lakes like Peyto Lake, spectacular, many sighs, many wows. Thank you for your attention:)
¡Gracias por elegir visitar el glaciar con nosotros! Nos alegra escuchar tantas bonitas palabras sobre tu experiencia aquí!
Was a fabulous day and tour. Such beautiful sights and our operator Ros was THE BEST! We stopped at many lakes and viewpoints along the way and got loads of information from the guide. Def worth the trip and money! Thank you Ros for an awesome day! Super friendly staff and lunch was a great selection including a chicken wrap, fruit, cookies, crisps and juice.
