A once-in-a-lifetime ride on the Athabasca Glacier—on board our famous Ice Explorers—will have you drinking water fresh from the ice. The trip continues to the awe-inspiring Columbia Icefield Skywalk before ending in Jasper. It’s a day that you’ll remember forever.

We drive, you relax on the Icefields Parkway

Our friendly guides will point out every glacier, alpine lake and possible wildlife en route from your hotel to the Columbia Icefield and beyond. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the view!

This tour starts in either the Town of Banff or the Town of Jasper and connects you to the other, allowing for seamless adventuring and maximized days. Of course, it’s the journey, not the destination that matters—and what a journey!

You can check your list as complete after we take you to Lake Louise, the Columbia Icefield, the Glacier Skywalk and our two beloved mountain towns. How’s that for an unforgettable day?
