Rest assured, you will still have the opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views of the Icefields.

INCLUSIONS
  • Round-trip transport from Banff or Canmore.

  • 7+ different sights to explore showcasing spectacular lake views, waterfalls, mountains vistas and glaciers.

  • Knowledgeable and friendly expert guide.

  • A snack and water refills (BYO bottle).

  • Onboard charging stations for your phones and other devices (just bring your own cable).

EXCLUSIONS
  • Tickets for the Ice Explorer & Skywalk at the Icefields (as mentioned above).

  • Tour Guide gratuities (not mandatory but always very welcome)

  • Lunch (BYO lunch is recommended as the very limited food options are expensive)

WHAT TO EXPECT

Weather in the mountains is often unpredictable and forecasts can be misleading. During summer, we can experience almost every type of weather imaginable. From very hot and dry conditions, to freezing cold conditions, we see it all. Not to mention, it can be cloudy, foggy & rainy, and we even sometimes see snow on our summer trips. With that being said, it’s common for the weather to change quickly, so if it’s cloudy & raining, cross your fingers and in no time it might just be bright and sunny again.

We do our very best to avoid the large crowds to give you a more relaxed and intimate experience, but it’s not always that simple. Banff National Park attracts more than 4 million visitors per year, and the Icefields Parkway is usually very busy in the summertime. For those of you who want to try and avoid the crowds, fear not, as our guides maintain a flexible daily schedule.
