Welcome to the wild west of the Canadian Rockies! Whether it’s your first or hundredth visit to Banff and you are looking to fill up your activity calendar, going horseback riding is never a bad choice. Going horseback riding is a surefire way to experience the revered Canadian Cowboy lifestyle.
Explore Banff National Park like an authentic Canadian Cowboy! Six trail options are available, varying from one to four hours long. All departures are from the stables in Banff’s townsite. Our horseback tours are informative, entertaining, and designed to give a glimpse of the distant past, 200 years ago when the first settlers explored the wild of the Canadian Rockies.
We ask our guests to arrive a minimum of 30 minutes prior to their scheduled ride, as these tours start right on time. Late arrivals will not be refunded, so make sure to plan enough time to reach the stables in advance!
During the ride, your guide will fill you in on Banff’s rich history and regale you with stories of settler days long since past. These horseback rides are designed to be as informative as they are beautiful!
The Banff stables are home to nearly 300 friendly, trail-trained horses. Our vast selection of horses makes it easy for our handlers to select the best fit for the person. The horses are sweet, friendly beasts that love traversing these trails.
Riding a horse for the first time may seem daunting, but our trails are designed for novice riders. When selecting the horse for the rider, the guides consider your experience level, age, weight and height. These are major factors regarding which gallant steed you will mount for the ride! Don’t worry; our professional guides will set you up for success!
