An amazing experience. Highly recommended as a first glance at the Bow River and Banff. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided a wonderful experience
They don’t let you paddle back to the starting point. Way too much time spent discussing animals that are rarely seen on the tour.
Hi David, Thanks for your review. This is not the usual feedback we get on this tour. We try our best to see animals but it depends on the day. We also do let guest guests paddle back, but there is not as much need when travelling downstream. If you prefer to paddle more, we may suggest a canoe rental might be more suitable. Thanks again and we will pass the feedback to the team.
It was a beautiful experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Good location for pick up and she made sure we were comfortable
Listen to the instructions about how you hold the paddle and paddle in unison(!!), sit with butt up to the side of the canoe. Enjoy the evening as you paddle and listen to the narrative about the history, animals , conservation care. Cam made it fun to listen to the history
A fantastic trip up the river with an exceptional guide. You start by paddling against the current, but this means you get to enjoy more of a relaxing ride on the back. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the trip really interesting.
My son and I booked a package tour with Banff adventures. We did a canoe, mountain bike, gondola, and Hot Springs. I cannot say enough about how kind and patient everybody at Banff adventures was. I have to give a shout out to Jaime for helping me so many times. I had to change my reservation a lot due to a crazy schedule and he was so accommodating. He also gave me his favorite poutine spot, as I had never tried it before and it was wonderful. All of the experiences we booked were absolutely stunning, and everyone we encountered was very very kind. A 10 out of 10 experience and a great value.
Thank you for your review and sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and your son had such a memorable time exploring Banff on our Out & About package. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words about Jamie - we are lucky to have him working at Banff Adventures. It truly sounds like you were able to make the most of your time in Banff and enjoy every minute of the beautiful national park (and poutine!). We hope to welcome you both back for another adventure in the Rockies soon!
We had Alec as our guide and he did a fantastic job. They are all very professional, and it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend them!
Thank you for your 5* review! Alec is one of our most experienced guides and is very passionate about Banff National Park and it's nature! We are happy to hear you had a great time!
Our guide, Cam, was fantastic. We had a great ride on the Bow River. Professionally done. I would definitely recommend it.
It was a lovely canoe tour. Jacob was very informative and helpful. He was a great guide. The canoe trip had great scenery and we saw 2 beavers and a beautiful rainbow.
We had an amazing time with our 3 kids. Emily was a fantastic guide and we loved our time in the canoe. Recommend it highly.
