Athabasca Glacier and Skywalk Small Group Tour with Lunch
Overview
Highlights:
Small Group, Local Pace: Skip the big bus tours. We travel in small groups, so we can stop when something's worth stopping for, at Peyto Lake, Bow Lake, the Columbia Icefield, and more.
Local Knowledge, Real Wildlife: The Parkway has its well-known stops, but our guides also know the quieter viewpoints and pull-offs where wildlife tends to show up, the spots most tours drive right past.
Guided Hikes, Real Insight: Your guide leads a few relaxed hikes to the best viewpoints along the way, mixing local stories and history with plenty of time to just take it in.
Gourmet Picnic Lunch: A fresh gourmet sandwich, piece of fruit, and a sweet treat from a local favourite, ready to enjoy at one of the most scenic spots on the drive.
An Itinerary Built for the Day: We shape the route around weather, recent wildlife activity, and crowd timing, so you're seeing the Parkway at its best, not on a fixed drive.
