Pursuit is a multi-faceted company that owns and operates a collection of nature-based tour offerings in Alberta’s Canadian Rockies; Vancouver, British Columbia; Alaska; Montana; and, as of 2019, Iceland.
“Our world-class attractions, distinctive lodges and travel experiences help adventurous people from around the world discover and connect with iconic locations,” says Eliza Fair, the company’s sales manager–North America, Australia and New Zealand.
Pursuit’s Banff Jasper Collection, which many NTA members know as Brewster Travel Canada, includes a number of hotels and sightseeing excursions in Alberta. The company’s adventure center along the Icefields Parkway is the starting point for many of the programs, including Glacier Skywalk and Glacier Adventure.
A shuttle takes guests from the center to the skywalk, which extends out from the side of the mountain, 918 feet above the canyon floor. “Taking a jaw-dropping walk along the glass-floored Glacier Skywalk at the cliff’s edge is an unforgettable experience,” Fair says.
As part of the Glacier Adventure, travelers board a massive Ice Explorer that transports them to Athabasca Glacier. During their time outside the specially crafted earth rover, guests get to walk on, feel and drink from a glacier.
Two other popular experiences, a Maligne Lake Cruise and a ride on the Banff Gondola, offer additional Alberta adventures in Jasper and Banff, respectively.
