Additional Info

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Important Note regarding Maligne Canyon Waterfalls: Due to damage caused by last summer’s wildfire, access to Maligne Canyon is currently closed by Parks Canada for infrastructure repairs to ensure visitor safety. If these repairs are not completed prior to your selected tour date, the short walk to view waterfalls in Maligne Canyon will not be possible. In this case, the tour will proceed with a slightly altered itinerary, offering alternative stops to showcase the area’s unique beauty. This includes a visit to Maligne Lookout, where you can view the dramatically changed landscape from a high vantage point, and additional time at Medicine Lake, featuring a short walk along the shore for stunning perspectives of the lake surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. Please rest assured that the tour length and price remain unchanged, and the overall experience will still provide incredible opportunities to explore and learn about the Maligne Valley’s natural wonders.

    This tour was exactly what we hoped for. Malign Lake was beautiful and unspoiled. Our guide Kelli was very informative. We got very lucky with the weather and were able to see elk, bear, mountain goats and a deer. Cruise on the lake was also perfect as the skies were clear and we had amazing views of the mountains

    This was a great tour! We saw wildlife and some of the most beautiful areas. Spirit Island was truly a beautiful area. The cruise was great and Sam was a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the area. Thanks Sam

    The overall tour was fine however we didn’t see the canyon or waterfall as promised which was down to the fire however we weren’t made aware that this part would be omitted before the tour. The tour guide Jake was often reluctant to answer questions at times which was disheartening as we were eager to learn more about the landscape. He tended to repeat himself a lot which became tiresome and he had an air of self importance around him. He also had some questionable views on climate change which was disappointing due to his job being to educate us on the receding glaciers.

    Jake, our guide, gave us lots of interesting information, particularly about the fires of last year. The canyon and waterfalls were still closed due to these so we were unable to view them. The scenery on Maligne lake was beautiful. Unfortunately we also saw very little wildlife - I know this is the unpredictable nature of things. However, it was a very long trip, over 6 hours, with most of it sat on the bus looking out of the windows. If we had known this beforehand we would not have taken the trip. Our trip wasn't helped by the fact there were two very young children on the bus, who were clearly very bored at sitting for long periods of time and were very vocal about this. I would suggest that it is not a suitable excursions to take with young children
