Athabasca Glacier Tours

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!

11-Day Vancouver Island & Northern Rockies Tour from Vancouver·Campbell River, Port Hardy, Prince Rupert, Smithers, Jasper | Max 12 Guests

This tour exceeded all expectations. The ferry ride through the Inside Passage was a highlight—we saw whales and sea lions along the way, which felt truly special. Visiting Campbell River and Port Hardy gave us a real sense of Vancouver Island’s rugged beauty, and the scenery only got better as we traveled north. Jasper National Park was absolutely stunning, especially driving along the Icefields Parkway with its glaciers and turquoise lakes. A perfectly paced small-group experience.

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!
