The Banff Gondola: A Ride to Remember
The Banff Gondola is one of the most popular, can’t-miss experiences you’ll find in Banff, and for good reason! As a bucket-list-worthy adventure, the gondola is more than just a ride; it’s an incredible experience that’s perfect for the whole family.
Settle into your enclosed (and accessible!) gondola and zoom up to the top of Sulphur Mountain. Enjoy a leisurely 8-minute ride that affords you plenty of opportunities for photos. Once you're at the summit, you’ll find jaw-dropping views, a world-class interpretive centre, fine dining courtesy of the Sky Bistro, and—of course—plenty of opportunities for the perfect Instagram-worthy selfie!
Helicopter Flights: Fly High, Live Big
Ready to see Banff like never before? Hop on a helicopter flight and soar above the mountains, lakes, and glaciers for views that’ll take your breath away. Whether you’re flying with family, friends, or your partner (don’t miss your chance for an unforgettable proposal!), helicopter tours are the ultimate way to see Banff from the skies. Choose between a quick 25-minute flight or a longer 45-minute tour, or create a special experience with our Marvel Pass Flight that lasts 55 magical minutes and gives you the opportunity to land at 7,200 feet for the perfect romantic backdrop.
Trust us, this is one adventure you won’t stop talking about!
White-Water Rafting: Make a Splash!
For all the adrenaline junkies out there, white-water rafting is an epic way to experience the Canadian Rockies like never before! Grab your paddle and get ready to paddle through the exhilarating rapids of the Kicking Horse River with the help of our skilled guides. Tackle class I-IV rapids, enjoy fresh spray on your face, and gear up for an adventure unlike any other.
Whitewater trips are perfect for families, bachelor/bachelorette parties, group outings, and more. Venture 90 minutes away to Yoho National Park and encounter crystal blue waters packed with adventure. Your adrenaline-boosting excursion awaits!
Horseback Riding: Saddle Up for Fun!
If you’re looking for a little less splash and more relaxation, then horseback riding is the perfect fit!

Horseback rides are suitable for riders of all experience levels and great for families and solo adventurers.
