I've taken the cruise three times. I *never* get bored with it. Maligne lake is splendid; the geology that is visible from the lake, the history of the intrepid Mary Schaffer and her eventual mapping of the lake and naming of many mountain peaks that surround it, and the views of glaciers visible from the lake never get old, no...

If you visit Maligne Lake then you should definitely go on the boat tour. Its the best way to see the beautiful scenery around the lake and the glaciers on the surrounding mountains. You get to see spirit island which is eerily quiet and beautiful at the same time. The guide on the boat is very helpful and very knowledgeable... More

After you had a walk, and something to eat at Maligne Canyon, carry on further (about 40 minutes) to Maligne Lake. The boat cruise is spectacular!

If visiting Lake Maligne, you have to do this cruise! Quite expensive but worth it. The captains were fun and entertaining, the cruise gave the opportunity to explore the lake with its stunning scenery and spirit island which on a clear day is beautiful. More

I did the cruise/shuttle combo and it was awesome. The shuttle bus driver was excellent, she stopped every so often so that we could take pictures of wildlife and was very informative. The cruise itself was magical, what a beautiful place. Take extra batteries for your camera, you'll need them. More
