Few places in the world are as majestic as Banff in the spring and summer. Come join Banff Horizons to explore, visit and take in the majestic Banff tours.
Columbia Icefield Helicopter Tour
Jump in a helicopter to see majesty of the Banff Glaciers from the best angle, straight up. Your pilot will tell you of the ways that the power of water formed the Rocky Mountains from tall, pointy peaks into the bowls, crevasse and moraines. Few sights can compare. Walk on the glacier, ice that is hundreds of years old, and will still be around for another hundred years.
Sulphur Mountain Gondola Trips
Want something relaxing and beautiful for a few hours? Take the Sulphur Mountain gondola for a great view of the Bow river area. This viewpoint offers a 360 degree view where, on a clear day, you can see over 90 miles, all the way up and down the Rocky Mountains.
Cave and Basin Tour
See how the railway was built and shaped the face of Canada; see how underground streams create such amazing geological structures.
Horseback Tours
See the Rockies the way that the early explorers and surveyors saw it, on the back of a majestic beast. All level of riders catered to, from the first timer to the rugged cowboy. Varied trips of length and difficulty available, call your destination specialist for more information.
Guided Fishing
When your rod bends and that fish starts fighting, you know that there is a good one on the hook. Come fishing with these Banff specialists and see what its like to catch a rocky mountain fish. Choose from relaxing on the lake in the boat or go fly fishing on the Banff Bow River for a more energetic day.
White Water Rafting
Get wet. This is the best way to see the Banff bow river up close; we mean really close. Choose from the larger 20 person boats for a more relaxed trip or the edge of your seat, paddle like mad smaller boats. Trips range from 3 hours to multiple days on these fully guided, fully interactive firsthand trips on the Banff Rivers and lakes.
Icefield Heli Fishing
The best fish are caught in the remote places, and when a stream is only accessible by helicopter, it has to be remote. Enjoy the best of both worlds with a sensational helicopter ride to a remote fishing spot with your own guide. It's Banff at its finest.
Columbia Ice Fields
Known worldwide as a national landmark, the Columbian Icefields are a sight to behold. Walk on ice that was forming when Queen Victoria ruled the British Empire , even in the middle of summer. Take the specially designed ice crawler busses up on the glacier for an incredible view and a snowball fight in august.
Columbia Ice Fields
Want to explore that side of the national park that no body else sees? Take advantage of the multi day heli hiking packages that your Banff Horizons Destination specialist can organize. Available in one, two or three day hikes, this is a holiday that will amaze, astound and show the true natural wilderness of Banff national park.
Carriage Rides
Travel the way that the first visitors to the Banff Springs hotel did when they came from the rail station. Horse drawn carriages are a romantic way to see the area, not to mention a great way to get a guided tour from a local.
Mountain Biking
Rent a great ride and get out in to the wilderness. Hundred of miles of trails for all sorts of levels means that Banff is a mountain biking Mecca . Ride down the hills of Lake Louise Ski hill and Norquay Mountain, or just take a trail ride around the park.
Canoe Trips
Take a guided tour of the local lakes and rivers, or set out on your own to see the beauty of Banff National Park. Emerald lake, Lake Louise and Lake Minnewanka offer some incredible sights, sounds and interactions. See the lines the trappers used, or just float along and listen to the bird's sing, still an adventure to remember.
Canoe Trips
A great secret of Banff is that there is some of the best lake diving in the world here. Come dive Lake Minnewanka and see the underwater village, flooded when the dam was built back in 1941. Ask your Banff Horizons Specialist about companies that rent gear and provide altitude training. A scuba divers ultimate destination.
