Loading...

Embark on an unforgettable adventure along the Icefields Parkway, one of the world’s most scenic highways. Pass by the Crowfoot Glacier before stopping at Bow Lake, where glacier-fed waters create a striking turquoise hue. Then, marvel at the breathtaking Peyto Lake, famous for its unique wolf-head shape and vibrant blue colour (alternative stops may apply). The highlight of the tour is the Columbia Icefield, home to the massive Athabasca Glacier. Experience this ancient ice firsthand with a ride on the Ice Explorer Snowcoach (mandatory additional fee). A Western-style lunch box is available (additional fee) before returning to Banff or Calgary. This one-day tour is perfect for nature lovers and photographers, offering stunning glacier views, vibrant lakes, and iconic Canadian Rockies landscapes all in one journey.
