A really enjoyable experience! Everything was very well organised and smooth. The Glaciers were spectacular, the whole area is mind blowing, didn't matter where you stood the view was breathtaking.
This was worth every penny! Chris and Tommy were brilliant with their knowledge of the history and geology and they brought tools to give us an appreciate of the immense challenge of traversing this topography. Amazing experience that will stay with me for life. Thank you so much.
We did the morning Ice Odyssey tour on out on the glacier with tour guides Chris and Emma. Both were amazing and answered all our questions. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend as it's more personable and you get to ride in these special vehicles designed to go on the ice.
We had an unforgettable glacier experience with the Ice Odyssey. Our guides on the glacier, Connor and Thomas, knew how to bring us, the glacier and history closer in an unforgettable way. All processes were coordinated and went smoothly, even our bus driver Jakob was immediately ready. Everyone was super friendly.
The ice odyssey was worth it , [an] incredibly unique experience! We started off with a lovely intro from Ellie who kicked us off. Brent welcomed us and drove us to the odyssey. Emma and Chris had been our guides, they took us onto the glacier. Wonderful personal experience.
Going in a smaller party to an exclusive area of the glacier really was magical, and having Chris and Emma take you through the history of the glacier including the hazards and environmental impacts was well worth it. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone and would very likely do it again!
Spend an action-packed day at the Columbia Icefield with the All-In Odyssey Experience.
Enjoy a premium guided glacier tour in a small group, marvel at sweeping views from the Columbia Icefield Skywalk, and refuel with a delicious glacier-side lunch buffet at Altitude, surrounded by towering peaks and icefields.
