Witness the Beauty of Maligne Valley & Cruise to Spirit Island. Explore one of Jasper’s most iconic regions on this scenic journey through the stunning Maligne Valley. Along the way, search for wildlife like moose, bears, and eagles, and take in highlights including a walk at dramatic Maligne Canyon and a photo stop at the mysterious Medicine Lake. Continue to Maligne Lake for a 90-minute interpretive boat cruise across glacial-blue waters, surrounded by towering peaks. The cruise stops at Spirit Island—one of the most photographed locations in the Canadian Rockies—where you’ll enjoy a short walk to the viewpoint. Knowledgeable guides share stories of the region’s natural and geological history throughout the tour. After the cruise, enjoy your own lunch or grab something at the Maligne Lakehouse before returning to Jasper. Wildlife sightings are common but not guaranteed.
