What To Expect

A rugged, high-impact stop that adds a second province and National Park to your day.

  • Excellent experience with Molary Tour)

    I had an amazing experience with Malari Adventure Tour, a local Calgary company. Russell, the owner, guide and driver, provided excellent service from start to finish. He was polite, professional and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. The price included a lovely lunch with cold cuts, cheese, fresh vegetables, fruit, snacks, water, and fresh bread which was a wonderful bonus 😋 The bus itself was very clean and comfortable, making the journey even more enjoyable. Russell also thoughtfully provided ice cleats (shoe grips) for each person to wear when walking on icy roads, which I really appreciated-it showed great attention to safety and details. Overall, I was more than happy and completely satisfied with their service. I highly recommend Molari Tours to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable travel experience! Olena S.
