My wife and I took the Banff Gondola ride the 2nd week of October when many of the resorts in the area were closing down for the season. I expected to ride it to the top of the mountain, walk around cold and maybe go to some cheesy gift sh..op and go back down. Was I wrong!!! There were 2 restaurants and the National Parks Department had tons of exhibits and interesting wildlife exhibits. There was also quite a bit of history with a beautiful Welcome Center, an Observation Tower and other hiking paths that were nicely maintained with stairs and decks. Definitely worth the approximately $50 a person for the ride as we were up there much of the day,Read full review
We absolutely loved our tour. It was a bit crowded. We wished had a longer time. But the guides were great. The ride out to the glacier was fun. And to see the expressions on our son was totally worth it!
We loved our glacier tour! We had amazing guides. Only thing is that it was too short of a time on the glacier. And, it was extremely crowded!!! Even with the crowds, it was such a neat experience and watching the joy on our son was tot..ally worth it!Read full review
Amazing, a true feat of engineering and what a splendid view! Easy to board buses, guides were informative and amusing. Got to spend as much time as we wanted. Great attraction!
100% Incredible views ... the only way to see Spirit Island besides paddling for 7 hours!

This boat cruise really is the only way in, unless you can paddle for seven hours. The lake is 14 miles long. Though you won't be going the full length, you will see Spirit Island both from the boat and from land. they dock for about 15 min..utes so that you can walk up to the famous Spirit Island viewpoint.
If you are driving from Jasper, give yourself plenty of time, as the service road to the boathouse is long and on busy days the going can be slow due to traffic.
The only thing I would change is the check-in process ... at the dock they are currently only accepting Pursuit vouchers with the bar code and departure time. If you don't have this you need to check-in up by the gift shop.
This is creating some confusion during boarding,Read full review
Pessimo. Siamo andati fino al lago Maligne, ma non abbiamo potuto fare la crociera. I biglietti non sono stati accettati e ci hanno mandato via. Perdita di tempo enorme. Siamo dovuti tornare a Banff e accontentarci della crociera sul lago M..innewanka, unica possibilità, altro che scelta!!!! Grande presa in giro per tutti coloro che che acquistano il pacchetto. Peraltro i due laghi non hanno paragone. Il lago Maligne è spettacolare. Peccato. Di sicuro Tours4fun ha perso dei clienti.Read full review
