What To Expect

Considered one of the most scenic destinations in British Columbia, the turquoise-coloured Garibaldi Lake is nestled between alpine mountains and a spectacular glacier as the backdrop. However, this is a very long and steep hike and not for beginners.

The tour includes 3 hours return transportation from your accommodation to the trail, an 18km (11 miles) return hike that climbs an altitude of 979m (2,937 feet) and takes 7 hours to complete, with plenty of breaks and photography lessons/tips and photoshoots at the top. You may also dare to take a dip in the freezing glacial lake.

Additional Info

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for pregnant travelers
  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
  • This tour/activity will have a maximum of 7 travelers

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Vancouver over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
