What To Expect
Joffre Lakes is one of BC's most beautiful hikes and is relatively easy to access compared to other alpine lakes. You need to be an experienced hiker and in very good physical condition. The actual hike is 6 hrs return with another 6 hrs of transportation time from Vancouver. If you're brave enough, we'll also take a dip in the ice-cold glacier lakes :)
Your 12 hour hiking tour is a picture-perfect way to experience Canada’s natural beauty and safely enjoy the outdoors. It includes pickup and drop off from your accommodation and a scenic drive on the Sea to Sky highway to Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton.
Details on what to wear and bring along for the tour will be provided, along with follow up questions testing your skill level.
With 20+ years of hiking and photography experience, your guide will teach you to take photos while hiking. With small groups and plenty of one-on-one instruction, you’ll learn all about landscape photography and how to capture waterfalls, lakes, glaciers and forests. You will also learn about the indigenous people of the area.

Dressing up in layers decibel helps as you may be cold before you feel warm and parts of the way you may get wet so dress accordingly. Prepare to have the best view during lunchtime. It helps to bring lunch and some water. For inexperienced hikers, it will feel difficult to hike the last part but worth it once you reach the 3rd Lake!! Bug spray is a must!! Waterproof shoes helps and long socks a must to prevent bug bites. Above all don't forget to have fun and take in the spectacular view!!!

The tour's well-paced itinerary and knowledgeable guide Nash made it an unforgettable journey through Vancouver's natural and cultural gems. Highly recommended for those seeking a diverse and captivating exploration. Nash’s exceptional photography skills and insightful picture-taking tips added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Not only did Nash expertly capture memorable moments, but his guidance also enhanced our own photography skills, ensuring we left with stunning snapshots.

Hiking was not too easy for me, but thank to our tour guide, Nafees, I could reach all three lakes. He is wonderful tour guide and photographer. I really enjoyed this tour and could take a lot of beautiful photos. I definitely recommend this tour.
