THINGS TO DO IN BANFF

There’s so much to do in Banff at anytime of year.

We love Banff’s long, sunny summer days, allowing plenty of time for spectacular sightseeing tours, signature hikes and adventurous mountain activities like horseback riding and whitewater rafting. There’s nothing like seeing Banff’s spectacular turquoise lakes such as Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, travelling along the iconic Icefields Parkway drive to visit an ancient glacier or meeting a grizzly bear up close.

In winter, Banff sparkles under a blanket of snow and ice, creating the perfect landscape for iconic Canadian activities such as sleigh rides, dogsledding, snowshoeing and ice walks.

Locally owned and operated since we opened our doors in 1999, we have over 20 years experience in helping visitors, and we can guarantee you’ll find the best deals by booking direct with us, as we own and operate many of the tours and activities listed.
