About this trip
Arrive in the Rockies in style! This is the best way to get from the airport or from downtown Calgary to Banff!
To really experience the park you must go beyond sightseeing to learn why this is such an incredible playground for everyone who comes to visit our neck of the woods. And what better way to enjoy it than in a small group setting with activities for everyone.
Enjoy the light show at the top of Sulphur Mountain and be wowed by the ride in the Banff Gondola, come and learn about wolfdogs and wolves in the wild, feel the winter spirit downtown as the lights turn on at Banff Avenue, taste the local flavours and take home a souvenir or two.
We will meet you at your Downtown Calgary hotel or at the Calgary Airport. And yes, we have room for your suitcases. And no, this will not be a long uncomfortable 24+ passengers bus where it takes forever to get in or out at every stop. This is an exclusive limited space adventure, 10 guests max!
Come create an experience that will stay with you for years to come!
Our goal is to wow you every step of the way. Our team is passionate about sharing their knowledge of the area, come see why so many come back to hangout with us more than once!

Itinerary
BEST DAY EVER...
Get to know the locals! By that we mean everyone from your guide, to some wildlife and of course some of the friendliest people of the area, all while visiting majestic sites along the way!
After we meet you at the Calgary Airport or at your hotel Downtown Calgary we'll head for the mountains!
Pick-ups will start at 12-12:30pm.
Our first stop will be at the charming and historic Town of Cochrane where you'll get a chance to stretch and snap a photo or two in front of a heritage building.
From there, the moment we've all been waiting for: Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary!
You'll enjoy a guided introductory tour about the way of life of both wolfdogs and wolves that live in the wild, this tour will allow you to enter a viewing area without barriers and a great chance to take stunning photos of these amazing creatures.
The Sanctuary is devoted and committed to the well being of these incredible rescued animals, not only will you have a chance to be amazing by them, but you'll also be helping a great cause at the same time.
Let's mingle with the locals in the charming mountain Town of Canmore, one of our most loved towns in the Rockies. Visit incredible art galleries where local artist showcase their crafts, photos, painting and more! One of the friendliest towns in Canada, you'll want to move here!
As the sun starts to hide, we'll head to a couple of beautiful lakes, you might also spot bighorn sheep, elks, and various bird species that brave the winter chill!
Two Jack Lake transforms into a tranquil winter wonderland. It's a serene spot for ice skating or simply taking in the stunning winter scenery. The stillness of the area, combined with the crunch of snow underfoot and the crisp, cold air, makes it a perfect escape for those seeking peace and solitude amid nature's beauty.
Just a short drive away, Lake Minnewanka offers its own unique winter charm. The expansive glacial lake, with parts of it frozen solid, becomes a playground for visitors. The snow-covered mountains that frame the lake provide a dramatic backdrop, and the history of the submerged village beneath the icy surface adds a touch of mystery to your winter exploration.
The Town of Banff is beautiful at night, as the lights shine in the snow, the odd deer or elk run through the streets and of course the shops are open late. You'll have the option to get dropped off at your hotel or downtown to hang out on Banff Avenue where you just might spot Big Foot somewhere!
If you're not staying in Banff then we'll bring you back to your Downtown Calgary hotel at the end of the tour.
This is an epic mountain adventure!
