Into the Night Adventure

While not guaranteed, Banff occasionally gets Aurora Borealis displays, especially during fall and winter when solar activity is strong. Joining us on a night tour increases your chances and our guides know the best viewing spots and weather conditions to catch the lights if they appear.

However, this is not a tour specific to seeing the Aurora Borealis and we cannot guarantee sightings of this magnificent wonder. However, there is a chance, subject to the KP index forecast, that the Aurora Borealis could be active.

This is not a hiking tour so you won’t need to worry about strenuous activity. While there will be some walking as we explore different locations, it is minimal. Once we reach the perfect spot, our team will set up a comfortable base just for you.

The weather can be very changeable in the mountains. Forecasts often change last minute, and even on cloudy nights, we frequently get unexpected clear patches.

We operate in a varity of weather conditions from clear and partly cloudy skies to mostly cloudy days and even light snow.  In the event of heavy rain or snowfall, guests may choose to reschedule or receive a full refund.

The tour includes pick up and drop off at your hotel from Canmore, Harvie Heights and Banff. Please, make sure you enter your hotel/address in the booking. We also include the use of telescope, chairs and inflatable loungers, blankets, hot chocolate and tea, headlamps and a little surprise!

Please dress warm! It's crucial to wear warm layers, ski jacket, ski pants (recommended), warm hat/toque, neck warmers, gloves/mittens and winter boots. Hand and foot warmers are recommended - you can purchase them from our Banff Adventures Activity Centre on Bear Street. 

Temperatures can drop significantly at night, and we reserve the right to refuse participation to guests who are not properly dressed for the conditions.

We cancel our tour at around -20 degrees Celsius or -4 Fahrenheit, and would offer to reschedule or refund your tour if this occurred.

The only way to find out is to join us!

There is a 48 hour cancellation policy, which allows you to change/cancel or refund your booking up to 48 hours outside your booked tour (up to 10 days for group bookings). No Shows and late comers will not be accommodated.

Group bookings for six or more guests require a 7-day cancellation notice period. No-shows or failure to cancel a reservation will result in no refund.
