🤩 This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Ride In the ice Explorer to glacier is amazing, some interesting facts were shared by the guides while in the ride. You get enough time to experience , take pictures and if lucky can drink some fresh glacier water if you have an empty bottle. Make sure to have your winter boots and jackets.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Breathtaking Experience at the Icefield Glacier! This place is an absolute must-visit. From the moment we arrived, every staff member was super friendly and helpful. The washrooms were surprisingly clean (which is always a big plus when you’re traveling!), and the wait time was smooth — nothing too long or stressful. The souvenir shops are really well set up with lots of unique items — definitely worth checking out. A big shout-out to our driver Andy, who made the whole experience extra special. He was funny, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was having a great time. This was my second visit, and it honestly felt like a whole new experience. The first time I went, it was freezing cold, so I couldn’t fully enjoy everything — but this time, I finally got to try the glacier water and even did the famous “glacier facial.” Totally worth it! Standing on a 150-meter-deep glacier, surrounded by nature that feels endless, really puts things into perspective. It’s peaceful, humbling, and just beautiful beyond words. Parking is easy with plenty of space available, and the entire setup is organized perfectly for visitors. If you’re visiting Jasper, don’t skip the Icefield Glacier — it’s one of those rare experiences that makes you feel small in the best way possible. 🌨️❄️
Such an amazing experience at the Columbia Icefield Adventure! Totally worth it — I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Our bus driver Rocco was awesome! Super friendly, funny, and kept everyone engaged the whole time. He also talked about how important it is to protect the environment, which I really appreciated. 100% a must-do!
The main center is gorgeous, well run operation, but as soon as you get onto the buses or the ice climber specialized vehicles you sort of see they spent everything on the main visitor center. The buses are all old, the ice climbers feel like they've been running since 1980s - they cost $1.5m/ea and they have 21 of them, but no "guest services" style functions out in the field (near the glacier or at the sky bridge) - drinking fountain? Bathroom? Nope, nada. It would be easy to have a port o john setup in these spots and obviously the employees are going somewhere (especially the sky bridge folks) The 8min bus ride to the ice crawler and then the 8min ride on the crawler to the glacier were very very lightly guided - felt more like a casual engagement rather than a super tight professional operation. It's cool, do it, but if you look for things like hospitality practices you'll spot some gaps.
Visiting the Rocky Mountains wouldn’t feel complete without stepping onto an actual glacier and experiencing the pure, icy water up close. We joined the Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure, and it was a memorable experience. We actually went twice — on our first day, the weather was terrible, with strong winds and heavy rain that made it almost impossible to stand steady, so we had to cut the visit short. Huge thanks to Pursuit, the tour company, for being so understanding and letting us return the next day for free. The second day was much better, and we could really enjoy walking on the glacier and taking in the views. This activity is fascinating, but to fully appreciate it, I recommend learning about how glaciers and icefields form, otherwise it’s just like standing on a big pile of ice with no context. One thing I really liked about Pursuit is that they provide a mobile app with an audio guide. You can listen in real time while you’re there, or download it to review later at home — a great way to deepen your understanding and keep the experience meaningful.
