Overview

Join us on a Banff tour in Canadian Rockies. We will explore the most beautiful park of Canada – Banff National Park. This road trip is an introductory trip to Canadian Rockies and all the hiking including in this trip is great for beginner hikers! We will travel in a small group of max. 12 travelers. Banff tour starts after your pick up in Calgary airport. Then we will start driving from Calgary to Banff. Our first stop will be in downtown Banff. You will have a free time for lunch. After the lunch, you can decide if you want to take Gondola to Sulphur Mountain or drive to the Tunnel Mountain Lookout for a short walk and views instead. Our next stop will be at Lake Minnewanka. You can walk along the lake and take lot of pictures as Lake Minnewanka has one of the best views of mountains.

Next day, after breakfast, we will start our Banff tour at Johnston Canyon. You can enjoy hiking in the depths of the canyon on wide trails and narrow bridges with railings that lead to the Lower Falls and to the spectacular 30 metre-high Upper Falls.

Our next stop will be at Lake Louise. Lake Louise turns into winter fairy-tale. Lot of movies were filmed in Lake Louise. You can walk along the shore, hike to the Fairview Lookout Point or enjoy a lunch and drinks at Fairmont Lakeview Lounge.

Our last stop of the day will be Emerald Lake.

After the hike, we will drive to Banff, where you can grab a dinner at one of the local restaurants.

The next day we will drive to Icefields Pkwy. Rated as one of the top drives in the world by Condé Nast Traveller, the Icefield Parkway is a 232 km stretch of double-lane highway winding along the Continental Divide through soaring rocky mountain peaks, icefields and vast sweeping valleys.

After the lunch, we will drive to Bow Lake. You can walk along the shore of the lake and take breathtaking pictures of the surrounding mountains. This is one of the popular stops on our Banff tour.

Our next stop will be at Peyto Lake. This hiking trails has been closed for couple of years and it’s one of the most popular, short hikes.

On our last day of Banff tour, after check out, we will start our day in Banff. We will take you to our secret spots for wildlife watching and to see Bow Falls. After sightseeing, you will get a free time for souvenir shopping. If you don’t want to go shopping, we recommend to go hiking the Tunnel Mountain. It’s an intermediate hike (half an hour up the hill) but he views from top of the Tunnel Mountain are beautiful.

Very last stop of Banff tour, will be at Grassi Lakes in Canmore. This will be our last hike of the trip. You will see Lower and Upper Lake and beautiful waterfalls.

We will drive you to Calgary International Airport after the hike.
