We traveled in September so the lakes were not as crowded. Stunning views at every lake. It was great not to have to deal with the traffic or the parking. Our driver was called CW. So friendly and helpful.

An Unforgettable Thrill — Worth Every Second!

Half-Day Guided Via Ferrata Climbing Tour in Banff
E7577NMpatrickb, Sep 2026
An Unforgettable Thrill — Worth Every Second!
If you are looking for an adrenaline rush with breathtaking views, this Via Ferrata tour is an absolute must-do. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and thrilling. ​A special shoutout to our guide, Katsu, who was incredible throughout the trip. He was exceptionally friendly, completely professional, and made us feel 100% secure every step of the way—walking us through the equipment setup and safety protocols before we even touched the rock. On top of that, Tatsu took tons of fantastic pictures for us during the climb so we could just focus on enjoying the moment! ​The route itself offered a perfect balance: challenging enough to be exciting without ever feeling reckless or overwhelming. Iron rungs, suspension bridges, and sheer vertical drops made for an unforgettable sense of accomplishment at the summit. ​Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone. You don't need prior climbing experience, just a decent level of fitness and a sense of adventure!

Go Canyoning!
What a great experience! My whole group thought canyoning was on the top of the list of favorite things we did on vacation. It was a challenge and out of our comfort zones. We walked away with our heads held high! Matteo was absolutely fabulous. He was kind, patient and supportive! I only wish they had tshirts for sale!

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.
