Explore Jasper’s Maligne Valley by minibus, spot wildlife, see Medicine Lake, and hike the Maligne Lake shore with a naturalist guide.
“The activity was great, and we managed to see lots of wildlife - we started off by seeing some beautiful Elk, followed by a brown, black bear, which walked alongside the mini-bus. Amazing to see!!! During the hike to Moose Lake, we were lucky enough to spend some time watching a moose grazing in the forest. Our guide Jamie was great, this always enhances a tour in my opinion - he was very knowledgeable about the area, clearly enjoys what he does, and had a sense of humour to go with it. Fab day - would recommend! Sam and Matt :-)Read more”

“I did the Larch Valley Hike and it was fantastic! Super well organised, pick up and drop off was on time, and the packed lunch was great. But our two guides Evie and Jade (hope I got their names right!) really elevated the experience - they were friendly, experienced hikers and made the whole group feel very safe and welcome. I was also lucky enough to have a great tour group, which made for great conversation! This is my second Discover Banff tour and I will always recommend this company if you’re looking for a great day out in Banff.”
Ride an e-bike from Banff to Johnston Canyon, hike to Lower Falls, and enjoy Bow Valley views on a small-group half-day tour.
“We booked months in advance, an e bike tour in Banff on June 30 at 2:30pm. But when we arrived, we were told that no guide is available to lead the tour, though we had received a confirmation email the day before. My son was the only participant, we didn’t know if this was the reason for them not willing to guide the tour. It was ok if they cancel the tour and inform us earlier, but we paid and came all the way and waited for half an hour, only to know that no guide was ‘free’ that afternoon. It was outrageous. We had been looking forward to the…”
Walk across Athabasca Glacier with an ACMG-certified guide, small groups, crampons, glacier science, and quieter ice-field views.
“Had a great time with a hike led by Eric. There was snowfall overnight on 19 September which meant that the glacier was covered in snow for our morning hike, making for an incredible view and experience. Rather than walking on ice it was snow, which felt magical. Eric taught us a lot about the receding of the glacier, and he even collected data whilst we were on the hike. We walked at a good pace for us (fit in our mid-30s) and there was plenty of opportunity for photos. We were disappointed to find out that they were no longer having participants rappel into the crevasse as my partner…”
