If you’re visiting Canada for the first time, there are a few activities that you definitely need to try. Below, we’ve gathered a few fun activities and tours from Banff Adventures, perfect for the whole family and priced at less than $200 CAD per person. Keep reading to learn where to book!
Packages Under $100
If you’re looking for a simple activity or event to tack onto an already loaded roster, we have a couple of fun packages under $100 per person we think you'll love.
The Winter Fun package starts at $61 for adults, $59 for youth, $50 for children, and includes a twist on a classic Canadian winter pastime: snow tubing! Similar to tobogganing, but faster, twistier, and sleeker. You can even connect your snow tubes together to take one big family slide down the hill.
This package also includes a winter rental from Banff Adventures that you can use anywhere in and around Banff. You can choose between snowshoes, ice skates, ice cleats, or, for an extra cost, you can get cross-country skis.
You can book the Winter Fun package here.
Family Fun (Gondola + Rental): This package also includes a winter rental, which you can use before or after riding up the Banff Gondola! You’ll get to enjoy a 360° view from the upper gondola terminal of six breathtaking mountain ranges, the perfect backdrop for a family photo. Afterward, take an interpretive walk on the Summit to a National Historic Site where you can learn all about Bow Valley’s creation and formation.

Packages Under $200
If you have a bit more wiggle room in your schedule and budget, we offer a few more packages under $200 that will guarantee your family a fun-filled day out! Here are a few options for your itinerary:
Icewalk & Tubing (from $143): This package combines a tour of the Johnston Canyon icewalk, which runs along the canyon floor, across suspended catwalks, past frozen waterfalls, and through a tunnel to the Lower Falls.
The second part of this package brings you to Mt Norquay for snow tubing, just 10 minutes outside of the town of Banff, with 8 tubing lanes to speed down!
You can learn more about this package here.
Winter Activity Pass: This package lets you mix and match a few different activities: the Banff Gondola, snow tubing, sleigh ride, and a winter rental. The sleigh will take you on a 40-minute horse-drawn ride through the beautiful mountain meadows, which we highly recommend for families and couples.
You can choose from the following activity passes:
- Norquay Snow Tubing + Gondola + Winter Rental
- Norquay Night Tubing + Gondola + Winter Rental
- Lake Louise Tubing + Gondola + Winter Rental
- Sleigh Ride + Gondola + Winter Rental
You can get more details for these activities here.
The Banff Experience (which you can book here) is another great way to combine a few classic Rockies activities! This package combines snow tubing, sleigh riding, and your choice of winter rental.
Snow tubing takes place at either Mt Norquay or Lake Louise, while the sleigh ride drives you through the mountain meadows to enjoy amazing alpine views.
Winter Explorer (from $170): This package combines a ride up the Banff Gondola and our Lake Louise Winterland Tour! This tour features a 4.5-hour guided adventure in snowshoes along the Lake Louise trails.
You’ll get to see classic Banff sights like the Fairmont Castle and get the chance to skate across that iconic turquoise ice.
