SUNDOG is a great company. The bus was modern , clean and well maintained. Dave, the driver/guide was not only very knowledgeable but a real hoot. Kept the crowd laughing throughout. The lunch provided was delicious. Each stop provided plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of the area. Like me, if you choose this tour, you will be glad you did.

This was an excellent way to get from Banff to Jasper. It was a very long day. Dave shared lots of great information and made sure we got to see all of the sights along the way.

Great and fun way to transfer from Banff to Jasper. The tour bus made me feel like a rockstar. The skywalk was awesome. The glacier walk part was meh.

Great tour with beautiful scenery

Lauren_M, Jun 2025

Seb was a very knowledgable and friendly driver who took us to lots of fantastic spots. The lunch was also way better than I expected!

What a great day out!

Alex_T, May 2025

Our guide, Dave, made the whole experience so informative and fun! It's a long journey that went so quickly with lovely and interesting stops and an incredible time on Athabasca glacier. It was a great blend of sights and experiences and the icing on the cake was seeing bears! Thank you Dave for such a entertaining and informative day.

Banff and beyond

Dan_W, Jul 2024

Norm was our tour guide for the day, and he was an amazing guide for our trip, he had many educational and personal stories that enhanced the experience. He is an excellent driver who shows care towards all who ride his bus. We would highly recommend this tour based on our day spent with Norm and Sundog Tours

Best tour ever!!!

Dianne_P, Jul 2024

This was the absolute best tour of our trip. Do not miss out on this tour and be sure to make sure you go to the Icefields and the skyway. They were both a wonderful experience. Seeing the scenery along the Icefield’s Parkway was awesome as well as waterfalls and Bow Lake. This tour is a great way to get from Banff to Jasper where you should at least stay a couple of days to take in the area. Also take the Maligne Lake tour while you are there.

Breathtaking

Jason_H, Jun 2024

Daniel was a fantastic guide all the way. Great trip, great day. Never rent a car from Banff to Jasper, do this instead. Thanks.

Genial

Great way to get from Banff to Jasper. Mike was a brilliant guide with lots of stops along the way to see some stunning sights. Included lunch was great too.

EXCEPTIONAL

Larry_R, Jun 2024

Great scenery! Great stops! SEAN does an amazing job of sharing his knowledge, love and enthusiasm of the Columbia Icefield Parkway, Waterfalls, Glaciers, Animals, Geology and History of the region. Definitely worth the money. It’s a long 12 hour day, but it was time well spent.

Utterly memorable trip, wonderful scenery, great guide

Stephen_F, May 2024

Sean was an excellent guide and driver: informative, amusing and absolutely dedicated to making sure we had the best experience. A very memorable stand out day on our holiday.

A great day seeing beautiful lakes, waterfalls & walking on the glacier at Columbia Icefields. Our driver Dave was witty & very entertaining. We were also able to see wildlife as we entered Jasper National Park. The weather was also perfect for the trip. Excellent way to transfer from Banff to Jasper!

This was one of the best...

Chris_D, Aug 2023

This was one of the best tours we have ever done. Our driver/tour guide, Chuck, was the best I have come across & his information was exceptional. Thankyou for appointing him our driver/guide. I would recommend Sundog tours to everyone.

Great way to go from Banff to Jasper and learn on the way

Merril_T, Jul 2023

This is the best way to transfer from Banff to Jasper. You take in the must do sights plus a couple of brilliant extras. Particularly some amazing falls o tge Road between Athabasca and Jasper. Warren, our tour guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable. He made the trip go from great to amazing.

Great adventures

Jayne_H, Jul 2023

Columbia Icefield where we walked on the glacier and Athabasca River Rush where the water flow was very powerful

Fab trip

Tanya_F, Jul 2023

I was collected on time and made to feel very welcome by Michelle, then at lake Louise Tom took over, both guides were awesome and made the journey very enjoyable without detracting from the main event of the awe inspiring scenery all around.

Fun in canada

Lia_S, Jun 2023

Amazing experience. Our driver very nice and took time to explain about all the wonderful things you will see on this excursion. Even pulled over for us to take pictures of a bear

Great tour! Totally recommend.

Lesley_A, Jun 2023

Definitely the most memorable part of this tour was getting to experience the Athabasca Glacier and the skywalk as well.

Do it!

andrew_w, May 2023

This trip comes highly recommended. We had a fantastic guide, Norm, who kept up a constant commentary of facts and information along the way. We were lucky and saw four black bears and one grizzly. The trip up to the glacier was well organised and unique. The Skyway was excellent.

Beautiful views and amazing experiences!

Nicole_F, May 2023

We initially booked this tour as it seemed like the only option for a one-way trip to Jasper (to catch the Rocky Mountaineer). I'm so glad we did! Though it started out not great (the initial tour guide was an older gentleman who was very difficult to understand). However, he only drove us for about half an hour before we switched drivers at Lake Louise. Our second driver was fantastic! He had the perfect amount of stories and anecdotes and was very happy to answer questions. There were a bunch of stops along the way, so you never felt like you were just sitting on a bus for too long. We even saw some elk up close! And the glacier experience halfway through is 100% worth it and super cool. We loved that that was included. Lastly, the provided lunch was actually better than expected - a nice touch. Overall, it was a great way to get to Jasper and a wonderful tour in an of itself. Highly recommend!

A truly awesome trip

Jeannette_G, Sep 2022

Visiting the glacier, falls, and seeing wild animals were amazing. Then to make things 100 percent better was the warm welcoming attitude of our guide and driver Dave. His commentary and information made this one of the best tours I have ever been on.

our bus driver Jeff was...

Abigail_L, Aug 2022

our bus driver Jeff was wonderful! We had a great time, would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more and see more on the ice field parkway. We saw a blackbear as an added bonus!

the perfect way to travel banff to jasper, seeing the sights rather than going straight from a to b

RICHARD_L, Aug 2022

Bear sighting, waterfalls at their best flow. the driver giving just the right amount of info. over the mic.

So many beautiful sites on this tour - excellent value

Benjamin_W, Jul 2022

This was an excellent small-group day trip which took in Lake Louise, the Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Glacier and Skywalk, and a range of other stops along the way. The guide/driver was friendly and knowledgeable, and the picnic lunch was fine despite the cold weather. Doing the trip in the shoulder season was a bonus as there were almost no crowds at any of the tourist spots, and therefore no delays in seeing things. It was a little early for wildlife viewing, but we did stop to see one black bear at a roadside stop which generated some excitement among passengers.

Amazing

Sandra_R, Jul 2022

The scenery, lakes mountains etc are spectacular our tour guide - Pete was exceptional he was so informative, polite, pleasant and made the trip even more enjoyable sharing his knowledge and obvious love if the area
