Once in a lifetime experience
Once in a lifetime experience! Able to rappel into a crevasse on Athabasca Glacier is not something you get to do every day. Our guide Sarah was amazing, being able to cater to different age groups, fitness levels and yet everyone was able to enjoy themselves!

Glacier experience
What an amazing experience. Sara was a fantastic guide. We were able to repel down into a crevasse and loved every minute. Enjoyed the 1+ mile hike to get out to the glacier. Learned a lot about the glaciers

Rappelling in the glacier...
Rappelling in the glacier was so cool and hiking to it was also fun. On the way to glacier, we learned about the history of it and the science of glaciers impact on its surrounding. This was way better than the bus option and glad I went with this. Shep was so cool and knowledgeable as well.

Amazing Guide and Experience
Max was an amazing, knowledgeable and fun guide. Walking up the glacier, stopping for an optional rappel down into the glacier, and generally being away from the hordes of crowds made this a highlight of our time in the area.
As a side note: Such a better option than those monstrous trucks that belch diesel and disgorge people for 10 minutes of selfie snapping. Pick this tour if you love nature and a deeper experience.
