★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 896 reviews · 1 day · from $84Our pick

Review of the Maligne Lake Cruise in Jasper, with Spirit Island views, guide commentary, pricing, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Our guide Nelson and Captain Michael were excellent. Informative in a fun engaging way, and just a pleasure to be with. Nelson even spotted a moose we could all see (just after talking with us about where we might have luck seeing one actually). the views in the boat and at Spirit Island were incredible and will remember the trip forever. Worth knowing, there is no cell service or WiFi here unlike other spots we visited, so be aware that unless you have an emergency whiche the ticket office does have a land line they can let you use, you will be out of contact for about 5 hours between…”

Jasper National Park Tour: Maligne Valley, Medicine Lake and Spirit Island

8.Jasper National Park Tour: Maligne Valley, Medicine Lake and Spirit Island

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 474 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $154

Review of Jasper’s Maligne Valley tour, with Medicine Lake, a Spirit Island cruise, wildlife, hotel pickup, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“We had a great tour with our guide Yvonne. She was funny and knowledgeable about the area and the wild life. She spotted mountain goats and elk. She made sure we followed the park rules and laws and all kept respectable distance to view them. Unfortunately there was another tour company most likely illegally run and allowed all their passengers get out the vehicle and went to harass the elks. We would highly recommend to use the viatour-affiliated companies as they respect the privacy of the animals and follow the laws of the land. And still allow their customers to enjoy the nature and its beauty.”
