Best Athabasca Glacier Tours & Trips

The Athabasca Glacier in the Canadian Rockies covers an area of 2.3 square miles (6 sq km), and is between 300 and 980 feet (90–300 m) thick. According to Parks Canada, it is the most visited glacier in North America, due to its accessibility from Banff and Jasper National Parks. Take a bus to the glacier's edge, and then get on a special snow coach to reach the glacier itself. You’d better hurry – the glacier is receding at a rate of about 16 feet (5 m) per day!

14-Day Canadian Rockies National Parks Westbound Tour w/ Camping from Calgary【Max 16 Pax Small Group】: Banff, Tofino and Wells Gray Park

Canada was stunning

Canada was stunning, everything was very well organised, but Chloe is the one who made this trip absolutely fantastic. She gave her 110% to make sure we were all happy at all times. I really hope to meet her again in the future.

Columbia Icefield Adventure: Columbia Icefield Skywalk & Ice Explorer Tour

Awesome experience

We loved our glacier tour! We had amazing guides. Only thing is that it was too short of a time on the glacier. And, it was extremely crowded!!! Even with the crowds, it was such a neat experience and watching the joy on our son was totally worth it!
