About

At the Banff Canoe Club we think everyone should have access to the wonderfully Canadian sport of Canoeing. Rent a canoe or Kayak from us and explore the gentler section of the Bow River or head up forty mile creek into Vermillion Lakes. We think...more

A must do activity while in Banff.

We signed up for the 1 hour canoe ride as part of a package with Banff Adventures. It was unfortunate that it was in the middle of the BC wildfire season so the views were quite limited, however it was still beautiful along the river...More

Great canoe ride!

We booked the big canoe - for my girls and I. Excellent choice for family activity - you get to paddle with a bunch of other people all the while listening to a well-informed guide (Holly) who was great. It was just awesome being on...More

Super nice people, nice tour

Anytime you go on a wildlife tour, it's hit and miss with critters. The tour we went on was a giant canoe that could fit like 12 people. Everyone paddles, as you head around the Bow River, with the leader telling stories, steering, and looking...More

Nice location

Canoes rentals on the river. Nice scenic paddle up the river away from the falls. I know how to canoe but found it strange they just put you in the canoe and off you go with no instruction

Beautiful Canoe Ride with Banff Canoe Club

We spent a relaxing canoe ride with 8 others on Bow River in Banff. Our guide Lucy had a wealth of knowledge to share with us as she steered the canoe. Having her with us made all the difference. She loves what she does!

Is the kayak rental on a first come, first serve basis in summer? Do I need to make a reservation first?

July 14, 2018|

AnswerShow all 3 answers

First come first serve, but as others have said, plenty of kayaks available. We went early in day and asked what was a good time for availability for later in the day. Worked for us!

Wonder if you also have kayaks?

They certainly do! We were 2 adults with one small child, so the canoe suited us better. But kayaks were there for the renting!
