Icefields Discovery Tour

Itinerary

I will meet you at your hotel for a safety briefing and we will review and sign waivers before departing for the Icefields Parkway.

Along this route there are many short stops and incredible views too numerous to list.
Ask about detailed itineraries.

You may choose to include the Ice Explorer which will take you out on to the Athabasca Glacier or the Glacier Skywalk, a glass floored walkway suspended over 900 feet above the Sunwapta Valley. (Please allow two hours for each attraction. )

Optionally you may choose to omit these attractions and instead take a 30 minute walk to the Toe of the Glacier.

*Helicopter Tours are available for an additional fee.

From the Icefields Center we will return to your hotel the way we came.

**This tour can be used to travel between Banff/Lake Louise and Jasper. If you are continuing to Jasper we will also see Tangle Falls, Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls and more.
Please inquire about Jasper Tours before booking.

A picnic lunch is ideal on this tour
