Seems a bit harsh of others to downrate the cruise because they couldn't do it! Or because they had bad weather! Anyway if the lake isn't frozen and the weather's good then take the plunge, so to speak. You probably won't come back so do this cruise even if it is expensive. The boat's fine, the commentary's good but most... More

Included in our Jasper Tour Company tour, we had a cruise on Maligne Lake to Spirit Island. It will be your photo opportunity for the quintessential photo of your Canada trip, so do not miss it. The only short-coming is that you do not get long enough on Spirit Island, so enjoy every moment of this heavenly spot on our... More

We took the cruise as we heard so many praises on the Spirit Island even though it is a bit expensive for the very . (You can get coupons at local hotels which will save you a couple of bucks per ticket). I would say the scene is very beautiful on the cruise as you can see a couple of... More

Lake was still frozen so disappointedly we were unable to do the cruise which had been given good reviews including one by Readers Digest. We drove to the lake then parked & did a lake walk which was very nice & worth the visit despite the disappointment.

The boat cruise will not disappoint! The picturesque views surround you and the colour of the water is amazing! We have gone twice now and will be going back again this year with the kids. Spirit Island is beautiful.

It was about 10 years ago I took this cruise. The highlight of the cruise is no doubt the Spirit Island Resort, easily one of best view Canadian Rockies can offer. If you have the 2 hours to spend and don’t mind the ridicules $62/adult, $30/child ticket price (@2013), this relaxing cruise worth a serious look. Other than the Spirit... More

Absolutely loved the cruise. The surrounding mountains and glaciers with early snow on them were truly spectacular. We were totally astounded when the guide told us that this lake freezes to a depth of 6 feet or so in winter. Spirit Island seemed all the more mysterious after the staff advised us that they were no longer allowed to tell... More

We did the Maligne Lake Cruise as part of a mediocre "Maligne Valley Wildlife and Waterfalls Tour & Cruise" from Maligne Tours Ltd., so didn't have to do the driving ourselves. On the way back, we did come across a small group of bighorn sheep, including a lamb, that seemed tamed- they would gather around the window of stopped cars... More

I am an above knee amputee on crutches- and I am very mobile. I was able to get on and off the boat not a problem, but the boat has a narrow isle and seating. Someone with less mobility then myself would have a difficult time. We went in August, and had a nice day – no rain, some clouds,... More
