Photograph Spirit Island and Maligne Lake

Spirit Island in Maligne Lake, is only accessible via canoe, kayak, or boat tour. As it's a 14km paddle to the island with sometimes strong winds, most people opt for the boat tour. If you are an experienced paddler, you can get rent a canoe from here. There is a campsite as well here, if you are interested in check out this adventure.

If you are serious about photographing Spirit Island, you will want to look into their boat tour for photographers. On this trip, you go to Spirit Island when the light is better, and you will also have the place to yourself aside from the small group you are with.

When you get back from the boat, you will have plenty of time to grab some dinner, then scout out a good spot for some sunset/night photography shots. There is a pathway along the lake where you can roam around and find the best spots that work for you. If you can get a small boat in the frame, it will really give your image some perspective as the mountains and lakes are so massive.
