Take a Walk on the Wild Side!

It’s no secret that Banff National Park is one of the best places to be all year round! Despite our reputation as a ski town during the winter, summer gives you plenty of opportunities to enjoy the majestic beauty of the Rockies and get up close and personal with nature. With long sunny days and warm weather making it easy to stay and play, finding the right activity for your adventure style and experience level is easy with the help of Banff Adventures! Explorer favourites include:

The Banff Gondola

As one of the most stunning and thrilling experiences you can have in the region, it’s no wonder that the Banff Gondola remains a fan favourite for visitors! Located on the top of Sulphur, the Gondola takes you all the way up to 7,486 ft above sea level to a world-class interpretive centre that also features fine dining alongside jaw-dropping views.

Ideal for the whole family, the Gondola makes it easy for little ones, as well as those looking for a less active way to find unbeatable panoramas to enjoy a bird’s eye view of Banff, while also learning lots about the Bow Valley Region and the many peaks in the area.

White Water Rafting

Located just 75 minutes away from Banff in Golden, BC, the world-famous Kicking Horse River treats whitewater rafters to epic thrills and plenty of rushing water that’s sure to delight the whole crew! Home to class I-IV rapids, the Kicking Horse offers stunning views and an unclose and personal way to experience the raw power of nature in a safe, team-oriented setting. Rafting is a popular favourite for families, friends, and even for those looking to celebrate their upcoming nuptials by taking a different kind of plunge!

Horseback Riding

Connect with your inner cowboy on a fun trail ride through the Bow Valley Region with the help of a trusty steed and our experienced guides! Our tours will take you on one of the many existing trails in and around Banff's past iconic sites and treat you to stunning views of numerous peaks, the Banff Springs Golf Course, and more! With trail rides suitable for all levels and even the littlest of adventures, this is a great, family-friendly option.

Canoe and Mountain Bike Rentals

Looking to explore at your own pace? We’ve got just the thing! Rent a canoe and enjoy a leisurely paddle on the Bow River, or grab a helmet and hit one of the countless trails in the region by mountain bike for an adventure that’s self-guided and allows you to be in control of the fun!
