Banff: Grizzly Bear Refuge Tour with Lunch

This small-group tour offers a deeper connection to the wild beauty of the Rockies—highlighted by one of its most awe-inspiring natural wonders, Takakkaw Falls. Standing 373 metres tall, this thundering waterfall in Yoho National Park is one of Canada’s highest, and seeing it up close is an unforgettable experience.

The adventure continues with visits to other Yoho gems, including the emerald waters of Emerald Lake and a stop to view the Spiral Tunnels, a feat of railway engineering that winds through the mountains.

Your journey continues to Golden, British Columbia, where you’ll meet Boo, a rescued grizzly bear who lives in a 20-acre mountainside sanctuary. This isn’t a zoo—it’s a one-of-a-kind conservation facility that offers the chance to observe one of Canada’s most iconic animals in a natural habitat, all while learning about bear behaviour, ecology, and conservation.

Your adventure includes a ride up the Golden Eagle Gondola at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, with time to take in panoramic alpine views from the summit. You'll also enjoy a relaxing lunch at the resort—adding a taste of local flavour to the day.

What makes this tour special isn’t just where you go—it’s how you experience it. You’ll return with not just photos, but a deeper understanding of the Rockies and the remarkable creatures who live here. Discover a wilder side of the Rockies.
