Join us for a unique exploration of the Athabasca Glacier on this 4 hour hike across rock, snow and ice. Meet your guide at our Rockaboo Trailer in the Icefields RV Lot, get geared up, and head out on a fully organic, by foot mission to discover some of the hidden wonders of this powerful place. Surrounded by some of the tallest peaks of the range, your guide will walk you through the history of these headwaters, while ensuring your safety and comfort. If conditions allow, we look for an opportunity for people to increase their connection with this landscape by taking scientific samples or using ropes to explore some of these features more intimately in a safe and controlled manner. Group size is small to ensure exploration of the area is environmentally conscious.

5.00Fantastic experience. Guide Eric led us on this spectacular tracking allowing us to see and understand the dynamics of the glacier. The scenery is breathtaking but the knowledge of the guide made it even more magical this afternoon. The route chosen according to the ice conditions by an experienced guide like Eric allows you to go beyond the classic roads created for tourists and to delve into the glacier to admire underground rivers, basins and holes created by erosion. I was fascinated. Initially I did not think I would be able to face the walk but the guide was able to dictate a step appropriate to the needs of the small group. Highly recommended, always rely on local guides you will not regret.

5.00I highly recommend Max and Rockaboo Mountain Adventures. I chose them for their interest in, and my passion for, glaciology and science. I booked a private hike on and repel into the Athabasca Glacier on Aug 23rd. It was a non touristy surprise for my son’s 17th birthday. Communication with his team was seamless. Max was adventurous, caring and knowledgeable. Our experience was so unique and exceeded our expectations. This adventure was an addition to our once in a lifetime Canadian Rockies experience. Thank you Max!
10/10 do this tour!!

5.00Once in a lifetime experience for the average traveler/hiker. 10/10 recommend. Do not waste time on walking up to the edge of the glacier yourself or taking the bus up. Take this tour!!!! Eric our guide was great!! The hike was full of good information and the walk on the glacier far exceeded anything we could have accomplished by ourselves or with the bus.
Amazing experience hiking the glacier with Eric

5.00Simon was very professional and fun, a wealth of knowledge. Lots of helpful hints when to layer up, where to walk. I specifically booked with this company because they will lower you into a crevice and they did not disappoint! What a great experience all the way around.
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00Amazing experience to get up close with one of mother nature’s most incredible feats. So awesome to be able to be lowered into a mill well to see the inner workings of a melting glacier.
Super activity but no possibility to go under the ice

4.00It was a super cool trip and the guide had a lot of knowledge that he shared with the group in a fun way. Would have liked to give 5 stars based on the experience but it became 4 because of the false advertisement. The guide does not look for places to descend below the ice surface. They have good reasons for that but it is a pity that they are not honest about it in the coverage. Despite that, we can definitely recommend the tour!
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00Once in a lifetime experience! Able to rappel into a crevasse on Athabasca Glacier is not something you get to do every day. Our guide Sarah was amazing, being able to cater to different age groups, fitness levels and yet everyone was able to enjoy themselves!

5.00What an amazing experience. Sara was a fantastic guide. We were able to repel down into a crevasse and loved every minute. Enjoyed the 1+ mile hike to get out to the glacier. Learned a lot about the glaciers

5.00Rappelling in the glacier was so cool and hiking to it was also fun. On the way to glacier, we learned about the history of it and the science of glaciers impact on its surrounding. This was way better than the bus option and glad I went with this. Shep was so cool and knowledgeable as well.
