Discover the mesmerizing landscapes along the Icefields Parkway with this tour starting from Banff, celebrated as a top global scenic route. Prepare yourself for a remarkable journey where we explore icy terrains, experience a walk on the glacier, and gaze upon the stunning Glacier Skywalk.

Tour Overview

At the scheduled time, we will collect you from your accommodation in Banff to embark on one of the most picturesque drives in the world. Are you ready to commence this adventure along the Icefields Parkway?

We will traverse the stunning highway that links Banff National Park to Jasper National Park, granting access to the breathtaking Canadian Rockies. As we journey through, get ready to be enchanted by the verdant forests of Alberta, providing stunning vistas at every bend.

The initial stop will be at a viewpoint that presents magnificent panoramic scenes of Bow Lake, one of the largest lakes within Banff National Park. We’ll also take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the Crowfoot Glacier and capture stunning pictures. To enhance this serene experience within the natural wonder, we will indulge in a scrumptious picnic lunch composed of a sandwich, refreshing juice, and an assortment of sweet and savory snacks.

Following this, brace yourself for excitement as we proceed to Peyto Lake, a highlight along the Icefields Parkway. For an exhilarating twist, we will board the Ice Explorers, specially designed six-wheeled vehicles that adeptly maneuver through the glacier’s icy landscape. Prepare for a unique glacier exploration experience where you'll have the chance to walk on the glacier, immersing yourself in the wonders of this incredible natural setting. In addition, we will make a stop at the Glacier Skywalk, an extraordinary viewpoint featuring a glass floor that offers spectacular views of Jasper National Park.

With your camera capturing unforgettable moments, we will head back to your hotel, concluding our tour after a comprehensive 11-hour experience.
