Spring is here, and as Banff National Park and the Bow Valley Region continue the deep thaw and burst to life in a colourful sea of green, blues and vibrant hues, you’ll only find in the beauty in the Canadian wild. If you’re planning on visiting Banff during the warmer months and are busy putting together all the pieces for the perfect getaway, let Banff Adventures help you experience the best of the area all summer long.

Below we’ll cover some of the top warm-weather activities to explore, as well as highlight some of our most popular summer adventure packages. Read on to learn more!

Something For Everyone

One of the best parts of visiting Banff is that there’s truly something here for everyone, no matter when you visit. Whether you’re looking for big thrills, the perfect option for little explorers, or something that you’ll never forget, Banff Adventures has you covered. Some of our guests' favourite activities include:

Canoeing

Banff is home to countless lakes, and one of the best ways to experience the Rockies is by canoe or kayak. While thrill-seekers can crush big waves on a whitewater adventure, canoeing is a great for families and those wanting a more laid back approach to exploring. Banff Adventures offers rentals for both canoes and kayaks, as well as safety gear like life vests so you can take to the Bow River with confidence and experience the region first-hand!

Horseback Riding

Want to sample a little bit of the wild west while in the Rockies? If you’re looking for a family-friendly adventure that allows explorers of all ages and levels to enjoy the mountains, there’s nothing quite like a relaxing trail ride with our skilled guides. With a variety of lengths and trails available, you’ll be able to see some of the top spots in Banff, including the infamous Banff Springs Hotel golf course, Sulphur Mountain, and more!

Gondola Rides

Want unparalleled views that will take your insta-feed to the next level? Check off another slot on your bucket list and take a “flight” on one of Banff National Park’s many gondola rides. The most notable ride in the region is the Banff Gondola, which takes you all the way to the top of Sulphur Mountain, where you’ll find a gorgeous interpretive centre, fine dining, and an expansive boardwalk you can use to hike all the way to the tip top of the peak!

Warm Weather Packages

Looking to maximize your fun in Banff? Banff Adventure’s packages give you the most bang for your buck and help you see even more while you visit the park! Our summer season packages include:
