Our guide was superb! Our half-day glacier walk was the high point of our 10 days in Banff-Jasper NPs. This experience was so good, I repent not going for the full day trip. The glacier has receded about 1 km in the last 40 years, and walking on it might not be possible after another 40 years. So, do it before it disappears.
Experience of a lifetime

This was an experience of a lifetime for us. Corin was an amazing guide and has been doing this for a long time now so he knows his stuff. He gave ample time for everyone to climb up until the base of the glacier. He explained a lot of cool facts about glaciers. I would definitely recommend this over the glacier ride on those special buses. They take you to the base of the glacier where you can’t see much of the amazing features of a glacier
A pleasant activity for people in a reasonble physical shape.

My guide was great! Wish I remembered her name but I added a photo of her. She was knowledgeable and very welcoming! She made walking on the glacier very memorable by adding historical background and scientific information in her guided tour. I would definitely recommend this glacier walk!!

Couldn’t see the Forest (Glacier) for the Trees (Snow)

Had a great time even though (or maybe because) it was a complete whiteout in mid June. Corin was a great guide and we felt safe.
Thanks again!
Incredible

Our guide, Nick, wonderfully kept the group together and safe. He was also incredibly thoughtful of individual needs while traveling as a group. Nick showed the geological evidence trail as we group of “glacier detectives” moved up the glacier bed.
It was surreal being on a glacier! Learning the glacier lifecycle was fascinating! The views were unworldly! This is an experience all should enjoy.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
