Maligne Lake is yours to discover

Venture beyond the shoreline aboard an interpretive Maligne Lake Cruise to the world-famous Spirit Island. Along the way, you’ll learn about the geology, wildlife and history of this spectacular alpine destination from our experienced guides while riding comfortably in our glass-enclosed, heated boats.

Maligne Lake has inspired wonder and legend for thousands of years, with the iconic Spirit Island holding deep significance for the Indigenous Stoney Nation. As walking on the island is prohibited, the small enclave of evergreens remains pristine and prime for photography.

Our cruises, along with kayak, canoe and rowboat rentals, allow visitors to connect to this special place in their own way. Join us and experience the magic of Maligne Lake for yourself.
