Samantha – United States

My dad and I had a wonderful time on our day trip! Angel was the best guide and definitely completed our experience in Banff. He was very informative, helpful, and had a really good playlist to listen to throughout the day. Banff was beautiful and having a guide and transportation made the day go by much more smoothly than us trying to do it all ourselves. We would definitely recommend Rocky Mountain Trips and would book with them again!

The day trip was fun. It had enough structure and flexibility to explore and to take breaks. We appreciated the facts and history Tito shared about Banff, which we wouldn’t have known without the tour.

Full description

Join us on an exclusive tour into Banff National Park from Calgary, Canmore or Banff! Let our expert guide lead you through the Rockies, uncovering major attractions and hidden gems while maximizing opportunities for wildlife encounters.

Begin your adventure with a winter wonderland experience at Johnston Canyon (October 15 to June 1). Marvel at the icy spectacle of frozen waterfalls, a stunning fusion of nature's artistry and rugged canyon vistas. During the warmer months, visit the iconic Moraine Lake, where the azure waters reflect the majestic Ten Peaks.

Next, explore the radiant landscapes to enchanting Lake Louise, with its glistening turquoise waters and the Victoria Glacier serving as a breathtaking backdrop.

Experience the charm of Banff Town with two hours of free time to wander, shop, dine, and soak in the vibrant culture and modern delights.

Capture nature's symphony at Bow Falls, where cascading waters harmonize with majestic mountains. Enjoy the unexpected panoramic view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel from Surprise Corner on Sulphur Mountain (Oct 15 - June 1st).

In summer, the picturesque Lake Minnewanka replaces Bow Falls and Surprise Corner on the itinerary for our Summer program. Its crystal-clear waters mirror the breathtaking landscape, framed by towering peaks.

Your extraordinary adventure awaits.
