CANMORE GUIDED TOURS

Big mountain views, glacial waters, beautiful spruce and pine shorelines and ample opportunities to catch a glimpse or two of some wildlife, are just a few of the highlights that our Townie Float offer our guests. Tie that in with a fully guided experience from one of our interpretive guides and this makes for the perfect outing for everyone. This gentle 1 hr float starts downtown Canmore, only a few minutes away from the local pubs, restaurants, shops and galleries, and only a hop, skip and a jump from most hotels and bed and breakfasts.

On the Bow Valley Via Ferrata experience, travel up Steve’s Canyon and see how time has carved away at the limestone to create beautiful smooth faces in the canyon. Along the way, climb out to stunning views of the surrounding alpine landscape. This adventure offers a unique blend of geology, vertical movement, and visual reward.

The Kananaskis River hosts playful whitewater rapids and scenic landscapes. With class 2-3 whitewater rapids, it’s a great adventure for all ages (5 years old and up) and ability levels; a river experience everyone can enjoy!

The Explorer Tour may be our shortest cave tour, but it is by no means short on fun and excitement. Your guide will introduce you to the amazing world of caves, spending approximately 2 hours underground crawling past prehistoric bones, investigating our ancient cave formations and even squeezing into places like the warm-up and challenge squeezes (if you so choose of course!).

Curving out from the front range of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the Bow River’s Horseshoe Canyon has been drawing thrill-seekers with its big waves and spirited class 2-4 whitewater rapids for decades. The steep walls of the shale canyon also offer an excellent opportunity to view large birds of prey and nesting cliff swallows.

It’s the Kananaskis River with a twist!  As Rafters, we go head to head with the biggest rapids on the river.  After we’ve pushed through the rapid we then paddle back towards the flow and catch the wave.  Hang on tight, feel the power of the river as you surf the wave.  It’s a different way to experience Whitewater Rafting; we promise you won’t regret it.
