Overview

Leave the crowds behind and experience Banff like never before — under a blanket of stars.
Unlike typical daytime tours, this nighttime stargazing experience takes you to a secluded, hidden gem within Banff National Park where light pollution is minimal and the stars shine their brightest. You'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Milky Way, learn fun and fascinating facts about the constellations, and—on lucky nights—even catch a glimpse of the northern lights.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning explorer, this peaceful group tour offers a unique way to connect with nature after dark. It’s perfect for couples, solo travelers, and anyone seeking a magical Rocky Mountain memory. No heavy hiking or complicated gear — just you, the stars, and the stillness of Banff at night.
