Thanks, Sam!"”

4.Maligne Lake Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 502 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $86

Ride across Maligne Lake to Spirit Island for mountain views, wildlife sightings, and a warm narrated cruise in Jasper National Park.

“The tour was well organised and really fun and informative. We had Nicole as our captain and Grace as our guide and they were both charismatic and helpful and great at their jobs. The 15 mins on Spirit Island was short, but plenty of time to admire its beauty and get some lovely photos. We did it at 3:45 in September and it was the perfect time with the sun behind us to our right so it didn’t hinder the photos we took and made it look spectacular. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.”

Review of Jasper’s Maligne Lake tour, with Maligne Canyon, Medicine Lake, Spirit Island, lunch, transport, value, and practical tips.

“You write one pickup point to us and another to the tour company. It was very confusing and not possible to call you for help after waiting for 30 min and the frustration about that we would not been picked up. Then you wrote in your tour description a part of the trip to some canyons with bridges which was the reason why we chose this trip. We were informed by the tour company , that they have told you to change your description of the tour. We have also sent you an email about this, but no response.”
