Maligne Valley Tours

Our exploration will include a stop at Maligne Canyon for a gentle guided walk across the first two bridges above the gorge, a short stop at the “disappearing” Medicine Lake, and finally, Maligne Lake. At this picturesque gem of the Canadian Rockies you can choose to participate on a Maligne Lake cruise to the world famous Spirit Island or enjoy a guided hike along the Mary Schaffer Loop (3.2 km / 2 miles – weather and trail conditions permitting). The Maligne Valley Tour is mainly a nature, scenic, and geological voyage but it is also an excellent opportunity to see some of Jasper’s wildlife.

Of the 2 options available upon arrival at Maligne Lake, the Maligne Lake boat cruise is by far the most popular.  The unique perspective of the surrounding mountains during this 90-minute interpretive tour aboard a glass-enclosed heated boat to Spirit Island is, in a word, "breathtaking"!
