A beautiful morning walking tour of Maligne Canyon, my guide Alesha was very helpful and friendly, explaining about the region, pointing out all points of beauty and interest. She was very patient with those of us who were unsteady on the ice and made sure everyone got to see everything and spent time taking photos if you wanted them. Walked at a steady pace as so to ensure everyone was included in her talks. Just breathtaking scenery, a must if you visit jasper.
Our enthusiastic guides were great!! Lucky to have two of them guiding us along the canyon. Wonderful frozen waterfall and geological feature unique to the canyon...great tour!!
Maligne Canyon Ice Walk - March 5 Wendy_P, Mar 2022
Our family of 4 had a great experience with Jeff as our guide. Pick-up and drop off was smooth and on-time. The experience flew by and had a good mix of information, walking along the canyon's edge, venturing in at various points and a nice walk out along the river afterward. The sun was warming things up during our morning, so the tall boots and cleats came in handy. The addition of a few slides in spots was a lot of fun and likely kept us from falling and sliding unexpectedly ... definitely recommended to truly appreciate the beauty and power of the water in the canyon.
We spent New Years Day - 2022 doing the Maligne Canyon Ice Walk with our guide Luis. Our ice walk in the canyon was amazing! Our guide took great care of us, especially me who had had a previous rib injury a few weeks ago. He ensured that we were safe at all times, and able to do all the things he requested of us! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants an exciting winter adventure!
