(Translated by Google) Nice trip on the Bow River from Canmore. Good guide, took plenty of time to explain things and answer questions. We were lucky with the weather, little wind and lovely sunshine. Nice to see the city from a different perspective and learn a bit about its origins. Great company with good staff.

Leuke tocht over de Bow River vanuit Canmore. Goede gids, nam ruim de tijd voor uitleg en vragen beantwoorden. Hadden geluk met het weer, weinig wind en lekker zonnetje. Leuk om de stad vanaf een andere kant te zien en wat te leren over het ontstaan. Prima bedrijf met goede medewerkers.

Absolutely amazing tour. Definitely worth it. Tor was our guide and he was very informative and a lot of fun. Big shout out to Spicy and Luca (our Italian friend from Milano). Will definitely do it again.

We recently went on a river float with Canmore Raft tours whilst exploring the area and we have to say this was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide was so knowledgeable and interesting with amazing information about the area. By floating you have no noise and are able to appreciate the wonderful sounds of nature and it gives you a beautiful perspective of the land as well. Highly recommend doing a float of you are in the Canmore or Banff area
