Hi Emily, apologies for the delayed reply here, I loved our half-day tour, and would’ve signed up for another full day out there if we didn’t have to get back to Canmore the following day. Either option would be incredible depending on how much time you have. If you’re opting for the full-day tour, I’d probably recommend staying nearby. We definitely felt like we were away from the main bus tours! It’s a small group, and you’re out on the glacier with your experienced guide, not just on the edge like the bus tours are. An experience I can recommend a million times over 🙂
