Five-star review! Our guide and driver, William, was absolutely wonderful. He provided detailed explanations throughout the journey, took great photos for us, and had a very reasonable itinerary arrangement. He was attentive the entire way and even provided small snacks. Fantastic!

The weather was rather extreme but our guide William drove us safely to all the highlights. He went above and beyond to make this a memorable tour. With taking pictures and videos, providing us with snacks and driving us safely back to our hotel. He really made the day a great success with his enthusiasm.

William (our tourguide) was the star of the day. He brought so much energy, positivity and fun. Also he is an amazing photographer 🤩 Would highly recommend to take this tour with him. Even on a snowy day he made every sight more than worth while. Thank you so much! X Judith

We had an absolutely unforgettable winter adventure thanks to our amazing guide and driver, Raymond! This trip was extra special because I traveled with my husband and our friends — a group of eleven of us — and Raymond handled everything so smoothly and professionally. From the magical frozen bubbles at Abraham Lake to the breathtaking views of Peyto Lake, Bow Lake, and Lake Louise, every stop felt like stepping into a postcard. What made the trip truly special was how organized and comfortable everything was. Raymond drove safely the entire time, even through winter road conditions, and made us all feel secure throughout the journey. He was not just a driver, but a passionate guide, helping us take photos, & suggesting the best viewpoints. His kindness, friendliness, and attention to detail made the trip stress-free and enjoyable for everyone. Highly recommend! - we ould book again another trip in this company. I give Raymond 7 stars rating!


Highlights

This day tour departs from Calgary, Canmore or Banff and follows the Icefields Parkway to seasonal highlights of the Rockies. In summer (May to mid-October), visit Crowfoot Glacier, Bow Lake and Peyto Lake, then spend about 3.5 hours at the Columbia Icefield. In winter (mid-October to April), walk on the frozen ice bubbles of Abraham Lake with free snowshoe rental and visit snowy Peyto Lake and Lake Louise. A national park pass and free professional photos by your guide are included.


Program

Depart from Calgary, Canmore or Banff
and drive the Icefields Parkway

Depart from designated pickup points in Calgary, Canmore or Banff in an air-conditioned vehicle. Pass Cascade Mountain, Castle Mountain and Vermilion Lakes, then head north along the Icefields Parkway surrounded by snowy peaks. A national park pass is included, and your professional guide also takes free souvenir photos.

 

In summer, see Crowfoot Glacier,
Bow Lake and Peyto Lake

On the summer itinerary (May 1 to October 12, subject to weather), see Crowfoot Glacier, carved by nature over thousands of years, and stop at turquoise Bow Lake. Then walk the trail to the Peyto Lake viewpoint for panoramic views and photos.

 

Explore the Columbia Icefield at a relaxed pace

In the afternoon, spend about 3.5 hours at the Columbia Icefield, one of North America's best-known icefields, enjoying the alpine scenery. If you wish, you can join the Columbia Icefield Adventure with the Snow Coach (Ice Explorer) and Skywalk (tickets extra). To pre-purchase tickets, let the operator know as early as possible before the tour; otherwise tickets can only be bought on site and availability is not guaranteed.

 

In winter, see the ice bubbles of Abraham Lake
and Lake Louise

The winter itinerary (October 12 to April 30) heads north from Banff along the Icefields Parkway, starting with Abraham Lake. From December 1 to March 31, weather permitting, see the famous ice bubbles and walk on the ice with free snowshoe rental. Outside this period, the tour visits Sunwapta Falls and Athabasca Falls instead of Abraham Lake.

Next, take a short walk to the snowy Peyto Lake viewpoint for photos, and on the way back to Banff stop at Lake Louise to walk on the frozen lake or admire Victoria Glacier.
