We'll start Calgary pick-ups at 8am and head out of town by around 8:30am.
You'll enjoy a scenic drive through Kananaskis Provincial Park where we'll tell you all about this beautiful area and why you should come back to it.
Next we'll stop in Canmore at a local deli for a quick stretch to get an incredible tasty meal to go (included). A great place to welcome you to the Rockies!
Next you'll head to the magnificent Lake Louise where you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the ice rink, maybe visit the hotel, or a hike at one of the trails by the lake.
Here, you'll have time for an optional activity such as ice skating or a horse sleigh ride to the end of the lake and back.
This adventure just got better as you'll be headed for the Icefields Parkway!
This is one of the most scenic drives in North America due to its line up of endless mountains and the many glaciers visible all the way to Jasper (that's another tour).
We'll stop at Peyto Lake, we'll put on our cleats/crampons and head for a short hike up to the new lookout area!
This stunning lake showcases the valley below and mountains around in a way that words can't describe.
Next will be Bow Lake, where we'll stop to checkout this picturesque lake, take more than a few surreal photos as we learn the history behind the lake and the Bow river.
We'll also pass by Crowfoot Glacier, known for its shape and sometimes colour.
One last stop will be the Town of Banff! You'll walk on Banff Avenue, checkout the shops, maybe grab a bite to eat or a warm cup of coffee. You'll have time to recharge the batteries before we head back to Calgary!
Unlike a 20+ passenger bus...
Smaller groups mean that you can spend more time at places that captivate you and make impromptu stops for unique photo opportunities.
Stops can be adjusted based on weather, traffic flow, and group vibe!
In a smaller setting, you'll have more opportunities to interact with your guide, asking questions and learning more about the local culture, history, and environment.
You get to know your fellow tourists, making the journey more enjoyable and creating memories together. This makes for a richer, more engaging experience.
Smaller groups tend to have a lower impact on the environment, helping to preserve its natural beauty for future generations.
You won't be riding a billboard that's for sure.
Our vehicles have high viewing areas for better enjoyment of the spectacular sites seen along the way, and yes, this covers wildlife sightings!
Our vans have privacy windows so you don't look like a fish in a fish bowl, this makes a difference during summer months as well.
In a smaller setting, you'll have more opportunities to interact with your local guide, asking questions and learning more about the local culture, history, and environment.
