Top Banff Outdoor Activities

it was my first time to ride a horse. The horses are so nice and the staffs are kind. I want to try the longer trip next time.

Highly recommended!! It was a beautiful ride with some of the best views of Banff. The horses are really well-trained and very adorable, great for anyone!

Our family has been rafting before but are not experts. The ride was just the right amount of fun and excitement. We would do it again.

Excellent guiding down fun rapids - class 1-4!! Our guide-Adam was competent, fun and informative! We had a great time!!!

We were lucky to book during the elk mating season, and saw a lot of elk. The driver was very knowledgeable and drove very safely. I appreciated his efforts to keep the comfort of the animals as a priority.

Went for a hike to Larch Valley. The guide were funny and told us a few funny stories about the animals living in the area. The nature was amazing!

Awesome guided tour from Pete through Lake Louise and Plain of Six Glaciers! Definitely provided so much knowledge about Canadian history / landscape evolution, as well as personal stories and recommendations for our trip. Great overall tour group, and he did a good job of getting the group chatting and getting to know one another. One of the highlights of our trip! The recs he provided also allowed my friend and I to enjoy other restaurants, and day time hiking activities that we may not have otherwise tried. 10/10 recommend!!

Ronnie made the tour. She was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour! We managed to get to Moraine Lake even though this was supposed to be impossible in October. Gave us lovely maple syrup biscuits.

It was amazing! The tour was very informative and both lakes were absolutely beautiful, you get good time to see both places. Neil was great, very friendly, polite and professional. I recommend this tour if you want to visit both lakes in a relax manner and enjoy the amazing views without having to worry about driving.

Really enjoyed the guide’s commentary and info. He was a retired geologist and knew the area well. Bus was clean and efficient.

Covered wagon with cook out was excellent! Our entires Our Our family enjoyed the adventure! 18 months to 60 years of age. Our wrangler was fantastic who answered many questions from our grandchildren and family.

we were a family with adult children. My husband and I went on the wagon ride as I have mobility issues. It was very comfitable withfairly easy steps up. Our two sons, 34 and 22, did the horse riding. They were complete beginners. Tuition was given first and they soon felt confident and coped really well. We all met up together at the cookout. Excellent meal was provided - steak, beans , baked potato, salad and fixings. Lots of entertaining information was given in the wagon ride.

I wish I had booked this directly on the website instead of through TripAdvisor- we weren’t able to choose the number of horse riders v wagon riders- then it was a big hassle to try and change it. We weren't able to choose directly with the company- but had to spend ages on the phone with viator to cancel the original booking and change the new one. It ended up being on an hour earlier than the time on the original booking and you’re supposed to be there a half hour before that. Managed it in the end! We had a two year old with us and hoped I could bring him on the way there and then swap with his dad to horse ride the way back- but the tour wouldn’t allow it which was disappointing. They said they needed to match the horses with height and riding ability...which is fine but we have the same height and riding ability so I dunno... It seemed a bit pedantic. The tour itself and tour guides were really nice! They were knowledgable and friendly. The food was great and we practiced lassoing :-)

This was truly magical to have done on Christmas Day but very cold. Warner Stables were great, well organised and friendly. Would highly recommend this! We

Amazing scenery, the tour was great, didn't see much wildlife but that can be expected as nothing is guaranteed, but it didn't stop out enjoyment of the day.

We were picked up by Nick, our guide for the morning. He had lots of interesting information about the town of Banff and its wildlife. We went to Bow Falls, saw the magnificent Banff Fairmont Hotel and learned about rebuilding of the hotel. We did see some elk and heard about the habits of bears getting ready for hibernation. Nick introduced us to cream maple cookies, which we all enjoyed.
