Highly recommend the 1.5 hour tour as a great way to see the beautiful landscape! Gregg was our tour guide and he is outstanding. He ahs a terrific sense of humor and knowledge of the Canmore/Banff area. The trip is suitable for all ages and a relaxing way to spend some time in Canmore.

(Translated by Google) We booked the short tour and weren't taken. It was a leisurely cruise along the Bow River. It was completely relaxing and beautiful. Thank you to the entire team.

Our family booked 'The Townie' and we loved it. Luca was our guide and he was wonderful. He provided us with some great information along the ride and made the experience even better. Our kids loved every minute of it. Would highly recommend for a nice relaxing trip that's great for kids and adults.

(Translated by Google) We did the river trip in the evening and honestly, for the price, it wasn't worth it.
However, the view was magnificent and
our guide, Tristan, was really interesting and very kind.

On a fait la descente de rivière en soirée et honnêtement pour le prix ça ne vaut pas la peine.
Par contre le panorama est magnitique et
notre guide Tristan était vraiment interessant et très gentil.

Nova was our guide. She was awesome. It’s a casual float with breathtaking views. Well worth the cost. Don’t forget to bring cash to tip your guide accordingly at the end of the tour.
