Full Day Deluxe Tours

On this iconic full-day interpretive adventure, you will travel the entire tongue of the Athabasca Glacier. Our professional ACMG certified guides will lead you to the stunning icefalls at the head of the valley, where you will enjoy your lunch among the seracs (pillars of ice) and towering peaks of the Canadian Rockies. The longer tour provides more opportunities to explore the glacier and learn about the unique features of this frozen landscape.
