Lovely day! Lucy was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable and encouraging without being overbearing. Great activity for older kids and adults. You do have to actually row and work, so not great for very young or folks with injuries or physical disabilities.
We had a great hour-long canoe trip with Steph as our guide. She was good with our multi-generational family of six and had tons of facts about the landscape to share. This is a doable experience even for not very athletic people, but you’ll paddle lightly for about thirty minutes until you’re able to float back downriver. Note that if you go in the afternoon you’ll be paddling straight into bright sun, so hats and sunblock are necessary.
Corey helped us and spotted all of the animals. It was a really cool experience and recommend.
Hi There, Thank you for your review! We will be sure to pass on your kind words to Corey, he will appreciate them! Thank you for the recommendation, we hope to welcome you back to Banff again! Banff Canoe Club
Our tour guide Lucy was very knowledgeable and charismatic. We were a group of 8 friends who had not canoed in years. The views were amazing and we learned the history of the Bow River and surrounding mountains. I would highly recommend this trip.

Claire was an amazing guide and you could tell she truly cared about the wildlife and protecting it. Beautiful nature with ducks, osprey and elk seen at the edge of the river.
Alec was fantastic guide. Loved all his stories about Banff, surrounding mountains, Bow River, The Boss, etc. He was very informative + entertaining. 5 Stars!!!
