Top things to do in Jasper

Maligne Valley sightseeing & boat cruise

Journey across the Athabasca river to Maligne Lake, via a stop at Maligne Canyon for sweeping views of a series of magnificent waterfalls as the river passes through the canyon. Farther up the valley, visit Medicine Lake, a basin that fills up during spring and summer from glacier melt before being reduced to a trickling stream by October. On Maligne Lake, take a boat cruise bound for Spirit Island and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Wildlife watching in Jasper

Join an experienced guide in search of Jasper's most iconic animals and learn how they add to the rich diversity of Jasper National Park. Established in 1907, Jasper is one of Canada's oldest and largest national parks, and encompasses more than 1000km of trails, thousands of campsites, mountain peaks, valleys and lakes. Wildlife is widely dispersed in the park, but your guide will know the best places to look for the many species that have been recorded here, including elk, white-tailed deer, bighorn sheep, pine martens and coyotes.

"The unplanned and unexpected encounter with a traditional Burmese procession taking young boys to the monastery to become monks and girls to have their ears pierced. Half a mile long, it consisted of ridden horses, oxcarts, ponies & traps, elephants and motor vehicles, all festooned with flowers and gay decorations and accompanied by loud music. It was not in a tourist location and was by the locals, for the locals. Absolutely glorious.
Mr Jeremy Waters"

"Going to Varanasi which is a unique experience - an amazing combination of devout faith coupled with the madness that is India.
Mrs Anneke Berrill"

"The highlights were seeing the rainforest for the first time, the knowledge of our local guides was also amazing. Costa Rica has been the holiday of a lifetime for me…I cannot fault the service.
Mrs Tooley"

"The tour was extremely well-planned. This was not my first visit to Israel but, this time, I visited places I hadn't seen before. The guide, Boaz, was very good. His explanations were clear and informative, and he ensured we saw what we should and that everything went smoothly. Not all guides put over their points as well, and should I consider a return visit, having him as a guide would be most encouraging. Much of the tour was inspirational but my highlights were Masada and the Dead Sea, and the Golan heights.
Ms Jean Baird"

"Bukhara: walking into the Kalyon mosque and seeing the huge tiled facades, the minaret and turquoise domes all set in the immense courtyard, in which we heard that Genghis Khan murdered the entire young male population of the city in the 13th century. Historic, tragic and beautiful all at once.
Miss Miranda Dawkins"

"Being on the Lotus Houseboat and the Neelshawr Hermitage after, they are amazing places. Pure luxury, nothing had been overlooked and the place was like being in paradise.
Mr Kenneth Phaure"

"We had a fabulous time in Iran. Our carefully worked itinerary was nicely spaced and we were delighted with our female guide.
Mrs Byrom"

"[Inspirational moments include the] dawn boat ride at Varanasi, walking out to see the Taj Mahal early morning and the lakes at Udaipur.
Dr Alan Watson"

"We had the most wonderful time there thanks to your organisation.
Mr Ansar"

"Thank you for making our holiday both wonderful and memorable.
Mr Churchill"

"Many memorable moments but the best has to be the overnight cruise on Milford Sound on the Milford Mariner. It rained on the way to Milford Sound but it had stopped by mid afternoon and by early evening the weather was perfect. We went out on the tender in Harrison Cove and communed with the penguins on the shoreline as the sun went down - then back to the boat for an excellent dinner. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and good fun. The scenery was, of course, spectacular.
Ms Ann Abraham"

"The first sight of the Taj Mahal was a really magical experience.
Mrs Sally-Ann Hart"

"We found the tour to be fascinating and we enjoyed every aspect of it. It was greatly enhanced by an excellent tour guide.
Mrs Jacqueline Mayne"

"We have just returned from our trip to India and wanted to say a big thank you to you for all your help. You were terrific.
Mr Jarratt"
