Both the guides was great safety is top priority for them and canoe were night clean they help us in boarding the canoe as well they safely let us finish the adventure. They deliver information about history and also related to the wild life of mountains, it’s super amazing activity with a very excellent crew of Banff canoe club, I will visit again.

We loved our tour - there was 9 of us for a work trip and went canoeing to see some sights. Some in our group had never been and we all had a great time. Our guide, Ryan, was knowledgeable and funny. He pointed out the mountains in the area and provided lots of information about Banff and the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend the tour.

The tour itself was great. However we didn’t start on time since they were waiting for another family to arrive. It clearly stated arrive 15 minutes ahead of departure. You snooze you lose. They snoozed and we lost 15 minutes of our adventure . Genevieve was great. Our grandkids aged 8 and 11 loved it as much as us. Moderate physical activity required. Lots of information delivered before and during the tour.
