Full description

Following a pick-up from your accommodation in Jasper, climb aboard a 21-seat tour bus for a comfortable drive up the valley. Your first stop will be at Maligne Canyon. Enjoy an easy 30-minute walk and see the deepest portion at 164 feet, including a thundering waterfall. Re-board your bus and drive on through stunning landscapes en route to Medicine Lake. Here the tour will make a 10-minute stop for photos, and your guide will explain why this is known locally as the "disappearing lake." Continue on to Maligne Lake and take a 90-minute scenic cruise to Spirit Island.

It was amazing. Our tour guide Jamie was a nice guy who gave us a brief about all the places we stopped by for photos. We were lucky enough to see mooses, elks and a young grizzly bear. The 1.5 hours cruise tour is a must if you want to experience great views. The cruise captain and guide Maddy and Jade were very professional and humorous. Really enjoyed.

Trevor picked me up in the front of Wapati Campground and from there we headed back thru town to several other lodges for pick ups and went on to a gorge and several lakes ending up for a lunch stop at Lake Maligne. I brought my own lunch. We then boarded the boat which took us to spirit island. The weather was perfect the location was spectacular. Beautiful clear water and mountains galore. Trevor was an excellent guide. I learned a lot about the area. Thank you! I highly recommend.

This was a bucket list trip for me. We had two days of rain which cleared out all the smoke so the day we went on the boat was a glorious sunny clear day. It was just as pretty as I always imagined. This was my third time in Jasper hoping to go, and the weather has always been poor. So I was incredibly happy with the whole trip. The staff were great!
