3.Banff Highlights & Wildlife | Award-Winning Small Group Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 725 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $94

Small-group Banff wildlife tour by panoramic minibus, chasing dusk sightings at Lake Minnewanka, Two Jack, Bow Falls, and lookouts.

“This was a fantastic experience and would recommend if you’re heading to Banff. Our guide Tyler was awesome - he knew so much about the area and the wildlife which was a real hit for my husband and me. We saw Big Horn Sheep, Mule Deer and Elk on our excursion which was a highlight for us. While some people suggest you could just drive the route and save the money - I could not disagree more! It was special to be able to both enjoy the scenery and relax instead of one person constantly worrying about navigation. This is definitely the way to do these landmarks!”

“We were scheduled for a public tour but ended up having a private tour because only our party showed up! Our guide, Cal, made the experience absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, she was extremely knowledgeable, answering every question with impressive detail and sharing fascinating insights we wouldn’t have learned otherwise. Her passion for the tourism industry, people, and nature really shone through and made the experience even more engaging. Cal was also super friendly and approachable, which made the entire tour feel comfortable and relaxed, like spending time with an old friend. She went above and beyond, taking extra time to show us hidden gems and personalizing the…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 376 reviews · 8 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $59

One day in Banff with Lake Louise, Moraine Lake (seasonal), Johnston Canyon, and free time in Banff Avenue, with guide-led stops.

“Although I enjoyed the sites listed in this tour, I was disappointed that crampons/ice cleats were not provided for Johnston Canyon as mentioned in the Overview of this tour listing. Several areas of the Johnston Canyon site were slick due to some snow over the past few days. Due to the slickness, many of us had to take it slow, and had only made it halfway through before we had to journey back down to ensure we were on schedule for other site visits. I also wished we had more time at Natural Bridge, so we could have ventured to different areas to take photos from different angles. I appreciated…”

Banff National Park: 1-Hour Spray River Horseback Ride

Banff National Park: 1-Hour Spray River Horseback Ride - Bow Falls views and the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course pass

11.Banff National Park: 1-Hour Spray River Horseback Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 315 reviews · 1 hour · from $83

A 1-hour horseback ride in Banff featuring Bow Falls views and Spray River crossings near the Fairmont. Beginner friendly, calm horses, helmet included.

“This place is beautiful. The horses are well-trained and handled very professionally. The staff are friendly and kind, and they genuinely care about the horses’ comfort, which I think reflects great animal friendliness. However, the listing mentioned that parking is included, but when I asked where to redeem the parking ticket, they told me that they do not offer free parking. I’m not sure if this is a mistake on the platform or something else—I just hope the next person is aware of this.”
