Join us for a journey along the famous Icefields Parkway, the undisputed world heavyweight champion of scenic roads, where jaw-dropping scenery is punctuated by more than 100 ancient glaciers, waterfalls cascading from dramatic rock spires and turquoise lakes set in sweeping valleys. Along the way, we’ll make stops at all the well-renowned, must-see spots as well as some spots that only locals know about. There is so much to see that cramming it all into one day is tough, but we've got it down to a fine art and we guarantee you'll see the best that the Icefields Parkway has to offer. As an active, small group guided tour, your expert local guide will be on hand to provide you with all the amazing local insights you can imagine, and you’ll be able to hit the trails for some short, mellow hikes to explore the best viewpoints and scenic vistas at your own pace without the constraints of a big bus tour schedule. Our expert local guides love sharing stories and providing all the great local insights you could desire with a laidback & freeing combination of on road guiding mixed with in-destination solo exploring, allowing you to experience the best of each stop on the tour at your own pace without the confinements of a rigid & “scheduled to the minute” big group tour. Our mission is for you to rave about your day with us to others so much that they will have major FOMO. We're always looking to avoid the crowds and provide our guests with the most authentic experience, so your expert local guides tailor-make the itinerary each day whilst factoring in big bus tour schedules, weather conditions and local insider info to make sure your experience on the day beats anyone else's.
