Glaciers + Fires Scenic Float

Explore one of the most dramatic sections of the North Saskatchewan River with glaciers as the backdrop as we float through an area that burned a few years ago. 

This scenic float tour starts a short distance from the Icefields Parkway, right on the boundary of Banff National Park. We get to spend 4.5 hours on the river, including a stop or two along the way to take in the views.

The Glaciers + Fires Scenic Float starts in the Thompson Creek area. Your guide takes care of the rowing so that you can sit back and enjoy the scenery.
