Meg and Maddy were a delight as captain and host. Our cruise was spectacular and funny with the commentary, also important facts and information were shared as well. Spirit island is nothing but magical.

I had an amazing time on the on the Maligne Lake cruise(Aug 2021) Our driver Val and the tour guide ( I am so sorry I cannot remember her name, but she was a young recent grad from Ontario). Even though it was cloudy the day we went with no mountains in sight the boat ride was lots of fun. Seeing spirit island was also very nice it's beautiful and very serene. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the island and history of the area. Highly recommend this tour as part of the persuit bundle, it was worth the drive up from Banff!

Captain Arielle and Tour guide Allie was super funny, cheerful and a overall delight! The guided trip on the way to Spirit island was filled with fun facts! I had the absolute pleasure of sitting at the front and listening to the fun stories of how Maligne lake was found! Once there, the view was breath taking (my pictures taken below) ! Thank you Arielle and Allie for making this a wonderful experience!

This was an amazing experience and highly recommended. You can stop at Maligne Canyon before or after here for an extra 1-1.5 hour adventure. The cruise is fantastic, the guides are informative, helpful, and you can stand at the back of the boat while it is moving. The scenery is just like out of a postcard. We were lucky to have beautiful blue skies and sunny to boot! The island is stunning, they offer 2 courses, one standard with 15 minutes on the island and a premium that allows 30 minutes on the island. We did the premium which was the best route, 30 minutes goes quick. There is a limited zone people are allowed to roam the island and minimum people allowed. A big hand to Nat & Krystal, our captain and guide--thanks from Ontario!

Sanjay Verma

The cruise was worthwhile. The cruise was about 1.5 hrs long and all staffs were quite friendly. The ship took us from the starting point to spirit Island and let us to get off for 15 minutes and enjoy the nature. It was a bit gloomy day but still we had a niece view of mountain ranges . The guide was quite knowledgeable and kept informing us about the surrounding. Most interesting thing was , they allowed us to be on the back deck of ship and enjoy the waves ???? and take pictures and videos while ship was running. It was of great fun activity to the whole family . I certainly recommend to do this if you have time.

Tracy Thomas

The Maligne Lake cruise was the best part of our visit to Jasper! Totally worth it! And big thanks to our tour guide Nat (she’s pure joy) and captain Meg????

Julie Huang

Megan and Liam did a fantastic job on the cruise today. Despite the smokey weather, Megan was able to discuss many historical information while honoring old and new information on aboriginal culture! She was very knowledgeable and knew how to direct the crowd. Liam was an expert at driving the boat and made sure not to rock the boat at all. He was polite and respectful of other people on the water (motorboat and people on the canoes) and the water traffic. Highly recommend! PS, please be advised and NOT do the package deal which includes lunch at The View Restaurant. It was horrible, save your money and eat back in town or pack a lunch and have a picnic.

Ali Hassan

Very interesting experience and visit to Spirit Island. You can see numerous glaciers on the way and Jordan was an amazing tour guide! Thoroughly enjoyed the visit!

Katrina Parker

Wonderful for the whole family! Very informative and interesting for adults, while also being fun and exciting for kids. Sam & Jordan led an engaging and enthusiastic tour from beginning to end. Thank you very much!

Dave Owers

Took a cruise to Spirit Island. Meg as a guide and Cassie as a driver were an incredible team.

TANUSHREE JAIN

Loved it. It was amazing experience to enjoy nature. The view of mountains, glaciers, pine trees and beautiful waters is breathtaking. Totally recommend.

David Little

Worth doing, captain and tour guides took us through Maligne Lake to Spirit Island and back. Tons of history,geography and humour!

Maria Mainart

What a wonderful ride! I had heard wonders about this boat tour and we spontaneously decided to purchase tickets once we were at the lake. Best idea ever. The girls are amazing and they make everything so much fun, the ride is nothing but gorgeous and this lake is just stunning. The stop on Spirit Island is the cherry on top of everything. Krystal and Abigail were nothing but the best crew we could have had and they sounded like old friends. We loved it, couldn’t recommend more! Went on late August so it was still nice weather.

Amit Soni

Enjoy the serene views ot Maligned lake and spirit island by hopping on to the cruise. The view are amazing amazing and thanks to our tour guides Steph and Sam for making this whole trip to interactive. Top of the world tour guides I would say. The reason I took one star is because I believe the cruise should have a washroom facility and another reason that when I booked my package along with gondola and icefield, the option to book two hours cruise was not even shown.

Allen Cooper

Upon arrival we experienced a bit of confusion with timing. The staff were very calm and polite while sorting things out. It made all the difference during our visit. Once on our tour, we enjoyed the views. We also enjoyed the stories and lessons learned from our crew (Flo and Captain Crystal). Would highly recommend this trip based on all of our experiences and will definitely be back. Thanks for a great day!!

Winnie Nguyen

I love the tour . Claire and Lauren were fantastic. They definitely know how to make it extra fun. Also love learning about different part of our history. Highly recommended!

Sherwin Habibi

We did a tour on the Albert boat with Captain Liam and tour guide Kassia. I usually don't love guided tours but these guys were very warm, professional, and fun. Didn't feel overwhelming at all. Boat ride is nice and the time near spirit island is cool. We had a foggy day due to the fires nearby, so I can imagine it would only be more beautiful later on.

Rajiv Gandhi

That was amazing, NAT is so beautiful and very caretaker, I like her way to discrib about Rockies and avalanches. She tells us about her mother is well. Anyway tour was amazing.

Filip Brogowski

Bea and Cam were very amazing hosts!! An excellent tour that is blended with narratives of the history of the lake, the importance of it and spiritual significance of Spirit Island to the Stoney Nakoda Nation…it was a very meaningful tour and will resonate with me for the rest of my life…a truly exhilarating experience…

Jeremy Giesbrecht

Had a wonderful time! Krystal was a fantastic captain, and Lauren was an excellent guide, full of knowledge and humour!

Helmi Ansari

Fantastic cruise around a gorgeous lake. The visit to spirit Island was spectacular. Our guides were awesome too made it a pleasure as well. Very friendly and fun. Our guides were B and Abigail.

Rosalie Gavillet

We did a beautiful cruise even if it was raining ! Such a Nice experience.

Simon Mala (PTM)

A fantastic cruise company. I enjoyed every bit of the moment on the lake. Flo and Jordan are awesome. I'll be back again soon. The price is affordable.

Alan Duffy

Didn't take the cruise, but area is beautiful. There is a small bar that is kind of hidden at the back of the restaurant. The restaurant itself is kinda of hidden, and confusing to find. We ended up eating at the cafeteria-type area. Had Poutine Wedges and Wild Game Chilli and Cheese Wedges. We weren't overly impressed with our meals. The wedges ruined the meals. Fries would have been better. I like wedges but these weren't very good. Didn't have time to take the cruise, but we will the next time. I believe the cost is $80/Adult, and it lasts 1.5hrs.

Dave Brandman

Fun sail in Maligne Lake out to Spirit z Island. Beautiful views along the way.

Simona Voinic

An amazing trip. Our guide Val and the captain Emily made this trip an unforgettable experience. They are funny and knowledgeable and it was a pleasure. Highly recommend.

Shaylea Tessier

Levi and Cassia (hope I’m spelling your name right) were so much fun for our tour. Cassia had the whole boat laughing most of the time and gave us so much insight to the history of Maligne Lake. I arrived at the tour knowing nothing and left with an appreciation for the people that made it what it is today and the First Nations people to whom this lake is special and sacred. I highly recommend the boat tour because I wouldn’t be into kayaking for 4 or 5 hours to get to Spirit Island. I must admit that I thought Spirit Island was a bit anti climatic (spoiler alert - it’s not an island at all). But even so, I’d love to go back on a clearer day and do it again. It’s such an iconic place and the tour guide was hilarious and informative.

The Captains and the ride were great! The historic lake is a journey through time.

Although we visited Jasper National Park including Maligne Lake many times but this was our first trip on the cruise. The cruise was operated very professionally maintaining all COVID protocol including cleaning of the seats, availability of hand sanitizer, maintaining social distance. The staff were very efficient for the most part. We took the 50 minute cruise. So, we couldn't stay longer at Spirit Island. After making the booking, we had decided to switch to the longer tour but were not able to make the change on their website which was a little frustrating.

Julie Joseph

Friendly staff and an amazing and knowledgeable crew. The whole experience perfectly complemented the breathtaking scenery. Would definitely recommend.

Samantha Liang

This was such a great tour and so worth it! I'm usually very skeptical about tours on super touristy locations but this tour was great! Our tour guide Kelly and Captain Steph were so friendly and knowledgeable! They were generous with their time to answer questions and provided some great history into Spirit Island/Sacred Place and I felt a sense of assurance that the people who work here really were taking the time to educate visitors and work with the Indigenous groups to continue healing the land. The cruise is fantastic honestly so go check it out!!!

Richard Kiefl

One of the best tours I've been on! Thanks ????☺️ so much.

Alexander Peplowski

We had bad luck with the weather so we couldn't appreciate the views. Our captain and guide were lovely though, both informative and helpful! …

Sheldon

Lauren Captain for Lisa L. Boat, and guided tour Liam did a really great job of keeping everyone safe. Very informative about the Canadian Rockies. I’d highly suggest that local Canadians should really see this hidden Jem.

Katie Steckly

Maybe the most stunningly beautiful place I've ever seen. Almost spiritual.

Shayne Douglas Ward

The views made up for the disappointment. We got on our 315 boat but it was way over capacity. A bit odd overselling tickets while still in a pandemic. So we offered as tribute to go onto the next boat …

Timothy Campbell

Captain Emily and Tour Guide Lauren took us on an amazing adventure to one of the most stunning and peaceful places I have ever visited. It was a lot of fun, and the views were amazing. Thank you for an awesome afternoon!

Alex Ho

great experience, fantastic views and visit to spirit island on the 1.5 hr cruise.

Nicu Olaru

Nice, pleasant cruise. Valerie tour guide, Sara boat captain and Bee crew member made this boat tour a beautiful and relaxing time spent.

Sharon Tanner

The crew was excellent on this cruise. Very informative. Definitely worth the trip

bob

Huge shoutout to Maddy and our captain Clair for the amazing ride and trip to the sacred island and giving us the knowledge and history of the area and all the mountains ????! It was a whole experience and definitely something I will remember! I only have videos of the cruise! But do enjoy it when you are there! Worth the money! All staff is friendly.

Antoine Desharnais

Great cruise with amazing views, very friendly staff (Cpt Nat and Claire!) be sure to book on a sunny day to enjoy the view. Recommend staying after for a 5@7 by the lake????

Patrick Demers

Spectacular views and amazing crew. Lauren (tour guide) kept us entertained with information, history, and geography facts, all with a bit of a comedic spin. Crystal (captian) was a pro at navigating the lake and ensuring other boaters were safe. The views were absolutely fantastic from the shore to Spirit Island, views that you can't find anywhere else.

Almighty Abb

Amazing. Krystal and Ali were great hosts. Beautiful sights!

Varvara Pokrovskaya

We had an amazing experience with Maligne lake cruise. Our guide Matt was knowledgeable and fun. She told us a lot about the history of Maligne lake and Spirit island. The weather was great on that day and we could see all mountains clearly. I highly recommend to everyone.

Benny Ying

Captain B and tour guide Lauren are beautiful, fabulous knowledgeable and funny. …

Brent Houston

My wife and I participated in the Maligne Lake Cruisers in September. It was well worth the money and we had a fantastic day. The guides were very funny and very knowledgable and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the Jasper area.

Agnieszka Brzozowska

Totally worth to go! Little bit of knowledge, little bit of fun and whole bunch of views. Abigail and Jordan was a great team on the boat. Both of them make you feel safe on the trip and entertain. Jordan's knowledge is amazing. We took 1.5 hr trip with 15min stay to see the Spirit Island. Great experience.

Brenda King

The cruise was absolutely breathtaking. The staff there are awesome they explain everything. That was awesome so what's a captain

Nasima Khan

Today was my first time on the Maligne Lake Cruise and I could not have been more glad I went. The captain was Meg and the tour guide was Flo. Flo was very funny and informative and made my time very enjoyable. The view was amazing the pictures turned out like the front of a postcard. I would definitely recommend this cruise.

Taniya Perera

Love this tour. We were guided by Becca & Meg. For those who cannot kayak or canoe this is thr best way to explore the massive lake . We visited the Spirit island. They allowed us to explore for about 15 mts. Guides were fun and informative.

B man

Can’t say how much we enjoyed the cruise. The scenery left us gasping at every new sight. The cruise was made even better by having our guide Bea and captain Kelly there making our experience even better. Thanks to both of you for helping make our day and Maligne Lake cruise an amazing experience. Side note to Bea’s mom….she’s doing a great job!!!

Gaurav Arora

If you want to go on a lake cruise in Banff-Jasper, it has to be this! The views are just serene and jaw dropping!
