Perfect day on the lake!
We totally enjoyed this cruise. Our guide, Kiegan and captain, Maxwell, were interesting and experienced in sharing information and piloting this cruise. It was both relaxing to see beautiful vistas from the water and informative to learn about this special place. Isniyes!

Jasper Wildlife & Maligne Lake Tour with Spirit Island Cruise
Janice_M, Sep 2026
A great trip
Lake Maligne and Spirit Island is probably the most beautiful place on earth, in my opinion. Ross Pugh, our driver and guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. The guide on the boat, Michael, was great fun and Jordan, the captain expertly took us to Spirit Island. Ross stopped the bus whenever wildlife was spotted and had some great stories of his adventures over the years. All in all, a very enjoyable trip

Relaxing float down the Bow River
What a wonderful afternoon adventure! After a long morning of hiking at Lake Louise, Laura guided us on a relaxing float down the Bow River. She was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable about the local geography. The whole family (all adults) were so glad to see another side of Canmore. Thanks Laura for a wonderful trip.

Maligne Lake Cruise

Beautiful lake cruise to Spirit Island
We did this experience as part of our Pursuit pass. It is very well organised and the maligne lake is beautiful. Our guide Sydney was great, she had all the information and the Captain Grace was awesome too. Both very good at their jobs. We even spotted a couple of Moose on the way back. My only negative feedback would be that we noticed to buy this tour separately it was $159 which does seem excessive when comparing to other experiences and excursions available locally.

Jasper’s Fraser River: Class 3+ Whitewater Rafting Adventure
HarryMoolla, Sep 2026
Like a movie scene
This was a highlight of our trip to Banff and Jasper! The setting is so picturesque, with turquoise water, green trees, and snow-capped mountains in the background. Our guide, Taylor, was friendly, supportive, and knew exactly what he was doing. It was also a relatively small group (4 per raft), so it didn’t feel commercialised. With transfer from Jasper, wetsuits, and the option to purchase photos, this tour is really good value for money. I have already recommended it to friends!

Highly recommended
We had a wonderful tour of Moraine Lake and Lake Louise! Our tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and full of humor—there was never a dull moment. We especially appreciated that the tour did not feel rushed. We were given plenty of time to explore each location, take photos, and truly enjoy the breathtaking scenery. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Banff!

Perfect way to start the day

Banff National Park- Kayak Experience
snobbybird, Sep 2026
Perfect way to start the day
What an amazing way to start the day. Our group was small (5 in 3 kayaks) and we were the only ones on the river. Our guide was great and made sure everyone was able to get in and out of their kayaks to get across the beaver’s dam. The kayaking was relaxed and gentle and allowed for you to enjoy your surroundings. A good level of mobility is required, if only for negotiating the dam. This provides an amazing start to our holiday.
