A perfect way to spend a day!
The guide, Trevor, was highly knowledgeable on all aspects of nature in the park. His kind and friendly demeanor made it all the more enjoyable. Our group was also able to tour with a trainee who is a bird expert.

Great tour
We were unlucky with the weather but felt lucky to have Trevor as our guide because he had so much experience and knowledge to share. We also didn’t see the wildlife we had hoped to see but it was still an enjoyable experience and way to see the area and learn more than we would have otherwise. Thank you!

Searching for Nature made Enjoyable
Be prepared for all types of weather in May. We had bright sunshine, rain, snow and sleet at different times during our tour. Wear walking footwear and bring whatever you may need that fits in your daypack.
Our guide, Ross, was great and sharing history of the area, the local animals and geography. Time flew by. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable Jasper wildlife tour
I had a great experience on this tour! The guides were very friendly and knew a lot about the wildlife and the area. I saw several wild animals during the day it was incredible. We were very lucky to see a moose up close, which was definitely a highlight of the day. I really enjoyed the whole experience and I totally recommend this tour!

The boat cruise to Spirit Island was great. However if the bus windows had been properly washed & cleaned, we could have seen outside much better & been able to take clearer photos.

Heaven
There aren’t enough superlatives in the English language to do justice to the quality of our trip and especially to our guide Sam. He was amiable, witty, and so incredibly knowledgeable. His love of Jasper, its environs, and its people was obvious; his respect for the natural world even more so. We couldn’t have had a better guide.
And WE SAW A MOOSE!

Maligne Lake and Spirit Island Boat Tour
We had a short stop at the top of Magline Valley and then at Medicine Lake for photos. Then we had a boat tour from Maligne Lake to Spirit Island. The tour guide was very informative and the boat ride was very pleasant. We had some time on the area around Spirit Island where the views are really beautiful

Yvonne is the best! She is very knowledgeable and has plenty of stories to share with us. My family and I enjoyed this tour. It is one of the highlights of our trip to Jasper. Ask for Yvonne when you booked the tour.

A good insight into Jasper
We enjoyed this insight into Jasper. Our driver Ross made the trip so interesting with his knowledge of the area & animals. We saw bald eagles, osprey, sheep & marmots. The hike was a good end to the day

Excellent tour and experienced guide. He was well informed and could speak knowledgeably about wildlife, forestry, and local history.

Good intro to Jasper, but Maligne facilities not open until June
We only had 36 hours in Jasper, so without this tour we wouldn't have known what to see. For us, Jasper highlights were the wildlife. We saw 6 bears on our own, and a bald eagle on nest during this tour (plus a number of elk and a marmot). This tour went along Maligne Lake Road. We saw the canyon, Medicine Lake, and walked along Maligne lake, which was still partly frozen. The restaurant at Maligne doesn't open until June, so we scrambled to buy snacks in town before heading out. Spirit island is at the far end of the lake, beyond what we could see on the trail. Our guide was friendly, and explained the events around the large forest fire in 2024. The approx 1/3 of the town that was lost is in the midst of a multi year rebuilding, and I would suggest driving through that area on your own to see the recovery in progress.

When to visit

- The lake is an intriguing stop for geology and glacier enthusiasts—information boards provide details about the lake’s natural disappearing act.
- If you want to get on the water, bring your own craft or rent a kayak from a shop that delivers it to the lake for you.
- The lake’s north viewpoint (paved and wheelchair accessible) is the best spot to stop for photos overlooking the lake.
- Medicine Lake offers a quiet alternative to the more populated Maligne Lake.
