    Pleasant excursion in a very scenic area
    Pleasant excursion in a beautiful area. Guide on the boat had a lot of information to share. Jo was clear and well spoken. The ride was comfortable, safe and enjoyable. The surrounding area was also good for hiking or picnics.

    Zoe was our guide and she did an amazing job. She was very Informative and could answer all questions. She even found some Beaver's for us to see. We had a great relaxing time on the river and we didn't tip over. Thanks

    Peaceful Paddle
    The Wildlife Big Canoe Tour on the Bow River with Lindsey was amazing. She spotted several large and small animals, including birds, for us. The river was peaceful and calm. It was a lovely way to spend an evening in Banff.

    Peaceful trip with amazing views!
    Great trip - our guide Mark was so knowledgable and had great answers to all our questions. Unfortunately we didn’t see much wildlife but it was a lovely day so great to get out on the water with some amazing views.

    Definitely worth it !
    Great time on the river with Emily our guide, very eager to share her love and knowledge of the place. We saw elks, beavers and a bald eagle, while enjoying the serene atmosphere on the river at sunset.

    An awesome trip
    This was an awesome trip!! I liked everything included in the itinerary. It really allowed us to explore what Canada has to offer. I especially loved the mountains there, I had no idea Canada had any! Visiting Lake Morain and its turquoise water is a must do as well, which this tour includes. Great planning by Charlie and his company.
