Wonderful experience with Jeff
I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide, Jeff, was very kind and knowledgeable! We visited lots of the spots early and stumbled across some wildlife! The boat cruise on the Maligne lake was breathtaking! Honestly, I wouldn’t mind doing it again!

Breathtaking!!! Great tour guide, very informative. Awesome viewing for wildlife. If you want the boat ride, book ahead, otherwise hike at Lake Maligne was excellent.

The boat cruise to Spirit...
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.

Medicine Lake, Maligne Lake With Spirit Island
Unforgettable tour! 🌟 Our guide Jan was amazing—funny, exciting, and went out of his way to make it special. We saw a bull moose, a cow, and even a grizzly bear eating berries! The boat trip to Spirit Island was just as memorable thanks to the lively guide and captain. Only small note: no need to pack lunch, since restaurants are at Maligne Lake..

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

We had such a great time with Yvonne as our guide! Beautiful weather, range of wildlife sightings (elk, ospren, eagle, marmot), fun stories, and stunning stops! The boat cruise to spirit island was amazing too!

Breathtaking
Great Tour with our driver/guide Warren who was very knowledgeable about anything you needed to know. The scenery at Maligne Lake and Spirit Island was out of this world - and Nelson & Michael on the boat were superb. We didn't come across much wildlife - but the landscape certainly made up for it. Well worth booking.

Great trip - highly recommended
The trip was just amazing. Well organized and Kevin was a perfect guide. Visits to Medicine Lake, Maligne Lake and Spirit Island and the views along the way and on the boat were just amazing.
The tour was relaxed and we all had enough time during our stops along the way. We got excellent information along the way (as well on the bus as on the boat).
Definitely recommended !

Great Jasper Tour for mobility issues
This would be the perfect trip to explore Jasper if you have mobility issues. They stop at all the view points and show you the super short walk to the best views, as well as provide a lot of information. Our tour guide answered any questions we had and shared lots of valuable knowledge. If you’re looking for a more active sightseeing tour, I would suggest looking somewhere else.
Some things I would have liked to know before hand: there are toilets (outhouses) available at every stop along the trip. Before the boat tour, they give you time to explore the lake house and use a fully functioning washroom. There is also an opportunity to grab snacks at the house before the trip.
Be sure you have WhatsApp! They sent us messages via WhatsApp at 5 PM the night before, alerting us that our tour had a 2 hour delay, but since we don’t use WhatsApp, we never received the message. They did not call us until 8:35 AM, after the time we were supposed to be picked up. The boat was also running 20 minutes behind, so expect delays all around.
