One and done
Oct. 2023 • Couples
We had the pleasure of having Jordan and Nick as our boat cruise/hosts for our cruise on October 2nd. Absolutely great individuals and highly recommend getting them for your tour. Fun atmosphere and very informative. The other staff we interacted with before boarding were also fantastic.

Weather was great and we enjoyed our cruise, plus walking around for 15 minutes by spirit island.

Only downside is, this cruise is not worth 80.00 for 1.5 hours. Since there is a monopoly on the lake, they're able to charge whatever they'd like.

Worth doing 1x and that's about it.

Stunning views, thrilling boat ride, engaging talks
Sep. 2023
The iconic duo Dev & Seb took us for a hilarious and heartwarming adventure around the Spirit Island. The views were stunning, and we were fortunate to get a clear day to soak the beauty in. But the true icing on the cake was Dev's storytelling on the boat, with perfectly timed jokes and a heartwarming message about reconciliation with the Stoney people.

Lots to love
Oct. 2023
Gorgeous views and charming guides. The pursuit team impressed us again with their kind professionalism.

Spirit Island is moving and incredible to behold.

Boat was too crowded. At times the guide’s sarcastic jokes made it difficult to tell how much of the information he shared was true.

Devon and Brooke are the best
Oct. 2023
I have done a lot of tours in a lot of countries but Devon and Brooke we the best I have encountered. The were funny and informative. They spent time with everyone and really seemed to love what they do. The cruise is beautiful but it was them that made it memorable.

Tour guide made the tour
Sep. 2023 • Solo
The boat cruise was fabulous for all the reasons people have mentioned, and the spectacular scenery speaks for itself, so this review is a shout out to tour guide Sebastián (and captain Jordan). Seb is an absolute gem - informative, engaging, personable, professional and the right kinda funny. A very impressive young man making the most of his summer job. Thanks for a memorable experience 😁

Island in the mist
Sep. 2023
An amazing experience thanks to crew Liam and Mel. The beauty of the lake and spirit island are breathtaking. This all takes place surrounded by awe inspiring snow capped mountains! Truly a sight to behold. Dock facilities and the boat are all first class. Highly recommend this trip while visiting Jasper!

It was one of our favorite things during our visit to the Canadian Rockies
Sep. 2023 • Family
It was magical. Tour guide was great as well as boat captain. Our original cruise was cancelled, due to weather. We were contacted for rescheduling the next morning. It ended up working out for the best and the day was beautiful and the mountains were covered with snow. The lake is very green once you leave the shore.

Great cruise, well worth it!
Sep. 2023
We had a lovely time on the cruise! We did the Bald Hills walk in the morning and did this in the afternoon, which was a great combination. We were able to get some food at the café before the cruise. Cruise itself was excellent and our tour guide Tara was funny but educational and it was clear they cared about what they were doing, great time at Spirit Island and good to actually learn some of the history about it. Would definitely recommend!
