In partnership with passionate local guides, GetYourGuide delivers a seamless travel experience that combines expert knowledge, convenient planning, and a range of activities suited to every type of traveler.
Here’s a detailed guide to the top experiences that you’ll encounter on this unforgettable journey through Canada.
1. Columbia Icefield Skywalk and Ice Explorer: A Frozen Wonderland
Canada’s natural wonders are second to none, and one of the most incredible ways to experience the raw beauty of the Canadian Rockies is by visiting the Columbia Icefield. Located within the Jasper National Park, the Columbia Icefield is one of the largest ice fields in North America and home to some of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the world.
The Ice Explorer tour, an open-air, specially designed all-terrain vehicle, takes you on a ride across the Athabasca Glacier, allowing you to step onto the ancient ice that has been forming for thousands of years. But the experience doesn’t stop there. GetYourGuide takes this adventure up a notch with the Columbia Icefield Skywalk, a glass-floored observation platform suspended 918 feet above the Sunwapta Valley, offering unparalleled panoramic views of glaciers, mountains, and the valley below.
Both the Ice Explorer and Skywalk provide an unforgettable opportunity to immerse yourself in the grandeur of nature, making it a must-do for any adventure enthusiast visiting Canada.
2. Niagara Falls Boat Ride: A Mighty Force of Nature
Known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Niagara Falls is undoubtedly one of the most iconic natural attractions on Earth. A visit to this breathtaking sight is a bucket-list experience for millions of travelers each year.
With GetYourGuide’s Niagara Falls boat ride, you get up close to the thundering waters of the falls and experience their power firsthand. The boat ride takes you right to the base of the falls, where you will feel the mist and hear the roar of the water as it crashes down from great heights. The iconic “Maid of the Mist” tour (or its Canadian counterpart, the Hornblower) takes you into the heart of this wonder, providing a truly exhilarating and awe-inspiring experience.
As you approach the falls, the boat offers an unbeatable view of Niagara Falls from below, while the mist sprays over you, creating a refreshing but surreal experience. Be sure to bring your waterproof gear, as the ride can get quite wet—but this is all part of the fun! It’s an essential adventure for anyone traveling to Canada.
3. Maligne Lake Cruise: A Tranquil Escape into Nature
For those who enjoy a quieter and more serene escape into nature, the Maligne Lake cruise in Jasper National Park offers the perfect setting. Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, this pristine lake is one of the most photographed spots in Canada. The cruise will take you across the crystal-clear waters of the lake, where you’ll enjoy spectacular views of snow-capped mountains, evergreen forests, and jagged peaks.
Maligne Lake is also home to Spirit Island, one of the most iconic and tranquil locations in the country. The boat ride will give you the chance to disembark and explore this isolated, serene island, surrounded by the peaceful silence of the surrounding wilderness. The area’s rich history, combined with its awe-inspiring natural beauty, makes the Maligne Lake cruise an unforgettable part of the GetYourGuide Canada Adventure.
4. Whale Watching: Witnessing Majestic Giants of the Sea
Canada is home to some of the world’s best whale-watching spots, and GetYourGuide offers incredible opportunities to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are a natural light display in the sky that occurs in the northern regions of Canada, and they’re a bucket-list item for many travelers.
On GetYourGuide’s Northern Lights bus tour, you’ll be taken to prime viewing locations to see this mesmerizing natural light show. The tour is designed to ensure you have the best chance of seeing the aurora borealis in all its glory, with expert guides who know where to go for the best viewing conditions.
