Captain Pat and tour director, Hayden were fantastic. We were given oodles of information as well as a time of absolute quiet... engine off and no talking so we could experience the peaceful beauty of the Canadian Rockies.

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.

Life is short, take the Big Canoe
We had a very enjoyable time with our guide Steph (from the land of Oz). She took photos for us and of us and shared them after. It’s not strenuous but does require some paddling. Definitely would do again and I highly recommend it. We got lucky and saw a coyote for our Banff wildlife Bingo card.(To Steph’s Dad, she’s doing great!)

Brilliant trip up the river

Brilliant trip up the river
Never been on a Canoe before until now. It was brilliant, I loved every moment nute of it. We were given clear instructions and got to paddle up river and back down. Took my waterproofs jacket st in case but didn't really need them as it wasn't wet. Am going to book this type of trip again. We were only 6 to a boat but aged between 16 and 64( yes that's me). Great tour and would book with them again without hesitation, very helpful and considerate. We did see a female Elk and some beavers near their lodges on the river. I was at the front and had a brilliant view.

Gorgeous lake, comfortable seating in boat. Our tour guide Maddie and Captain Emma added to our enjoyment with the history and stories of the ancient people first around the lake. We would do it again.

This was a lovely way to start the day, a nice pace, great scenery and friendly guide. Suitable for beginners, may be difficult if you have mobility issues as we needed to get out of the kayak to traverse a dam.

Family Fun!
This was a fun evening activity with our daughters. Will, the guide was informative and funny! We were only on the water for an hour or so and how far you go is very dependent on the other people in the canoe paddling too! We had some nice sightings of beavers and learnt a lot about wildlife and the environment of the Bow River and surrounding Banff area. Unfortunately not much other than beavers on our tour.
