Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure

Tried the new Ice Odyssey tour and had so much fun in the Sherp! My daughter got to sit up front with the driver, which she thought was fantastic. The weather was perfect for our trip, but some people may not be happy spending an hour on the glacier if the weather is not good. We took so many photos and enjoyed the incredible views.

A really enjoyable experience! Everything was very well organised and smooth. Being out on the glacier itself was great! We had a lovely driver in Aisling. She was in her first week of being a driver of the really big ice bus and made us all feel very welcome.

Wow! This was a super fun adventure. Not to many places in the world you could do a trip like this. The Explorer vehicle - they have 21 out of 23 in the world (other two are used in Antarctic for science purposes) You get to walk out on the glacier. It is very cold and can get windy. It was a chance of a lifetime. Our driver Collin was awesome!!! Tip: get the Pursuit pass if your planning to see the sites in the area. It saved us money for sure.

Really awesome tour of the glacier. The bus driver that worked the ice explorer, Jez, was amazing and really fun. The transport bus between the locations was underwhelming for sure though. The glacier itself was stunning, and that was by far the best part of the tour. The lack of bathrooms, and the fact that the sky bridge is a required aspect of the route is frustrating. Additionally, the lack of elaboration and focus on the impact of climate change on the glacier was irritating. The exhibit inside made up for that, but the lack of clarity on the tour itself was still prevalent. Still, a great experience and tour. I added many photos to show as much of the experience as possible.

Although the boarding queues are slightly confusing at the meeting point for the tour the actual tour was very good. Our driver Liam drove us down to the glacier and was very informative about the geography of the glacier and the Ice Explorer. I would recommend doing this tour in combination with the Skywalk.

The bus driver was very nice and joyful, one of the best I've ever met, his name was Sam if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately the place did not met my expectations, there is only a designated place to be and, even though you can see people walking around beyond the limit with a guide, it's not included. But, after all, still a cool place to visit.

Columbia Icefields Definitely book the Experience. Allow about 1.5 hours. Going on the glacier in the huge Ice Explorer was great, and the driver/guides fun and interesting. The day before We walked about 2 km to as close as possible to the glacier, but of course couldn’t go on it. It is further than you think. If you have a choice of days then it is infinitely better with sun and blue sky. Well worth the money. The Sky Walk was part of the ticket and quite fun.

It was a lovely experience that everyone in our family could participate together. If you have an infant, do not bother taking a car seat or stroller. To get up to the office is a task, but there aren't any provisions to strap the baby. I was told to hold my baby on my lap during the trip. When you watch most people's experiences or talk to other tourists, you will hear how bumpy the ride was or how steep the sloop was. For me, though, it was very smooth. Depending on the weather on the day you go, please dress up to keep warm. Our tour guide was beyond awesome. His name was Levi. He carried the crowd well and gave us a lot of information. Everything works like clock work, so follow all instructions given. The only observation I would appreciate if it could be considered is placing some sort of marking on the steps. A couple in front of me. the lady sprained her ankle pretty bad because she missed her step. In all, it's a lovely experience you must see with your eyes.
