This was a great excursion. I was a bit skeptical but we are so glad we went. We had a clear sky and full moon. Beautiful! And our guide Tina was fantastic. Would highly recommend this experience.

A great hike with beautiful views, easy enough for everyone. Jake was our guide and he was very nice, definitely recommend!

We chose this as an "easy" activity to do on Christmas Day. Note to all that snowshoeing is NOT necessarily an "easy" activity even for those of us who are generally very fit. Our teenagers absolutely had a ball on this tour. They loved whizzing down the slopes on the "crazy carpet slide" and making taffy in the snow. They voted this to be one of the most fun tours of the ten or so that we did while in Canada. I will say that it does probably require a higher fitness level than the website would have you believe though. Our whole family are long distance runners, cyclists etc but snowshoeing in deep powder for 3km isn't necessarily as easy as one would think when you aren't used to snowshoes or the thinner air. We were absolutely fine but I personally found this far more taxing than hiking Johnston Canyon etc and may not have eaten quite so much on Christmas morning if I'd realised. After reading the blurb on the website I think I was gearing up for a pleasant stroll rather than something that required that much effort! Fun - 100% yes. An "easy" stroll after a heavy Christmas brunch, not quite!

I was a bit dubious about booking this tour but we ended up thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Great way to get your bearings in Banff when you first arrive and we went to some really lovely spots for photos. Wildlife wise it was a bit sparse - we saw a coyote, red squirrels, deer and some elk. I imagine that in Summer you'd see a lot more if that was your focus. I have to admit that part of the reason we loved this tour so much was due to our guide. We had Jake and he was fabulous. We did around ten different tours during our month in Canada and he was probably the best tour guide we had. He kept the entire group entertained with stories and history about the area. We ended up doing a couple of tours through this company and were really happy with them. If you book direct on their website there are multi tour discounts that make the pricing really competitive. We did this particular tour in the morning and then stayed on with the same tour company to do the Gondola in the afternoon. We could have visited the Gondola reasonably easily using the ROAM bus but we had a packed schedule during our week in Banff so this helped us to squeeze as much as we could into the time we had.

After a busy time getting into Banff we were keen to make the most of our time. We did this tour and finished at the Gondola. What a great morning. Annik our guide was a font of information on the history and nature of Banff. We saw the hot springs at sunrise and stumbled onto some playful otters in the lake. The grazing elk were also amazing as was the birdie. Annik was great fun as well as helpful with our plans. We enjoyed the gondola and Annik arranged our pick up by another helpful guide Buck. Highly recommend this as a great informative tour

The interactive tour was an incredible experience. It is great to see how well these beautiful animals are cared for. Most are rescued from well-intentioned cross-breeders who were not prepared to raise a wild animal. HIGHLY recommend if you are ever in the Calgary-Banff area.

Our guide Jake was fantastic! He made this hike so interesting with all of his historical knowledge, but also lots of stories and jokes. He was a blast and we appreciated his extra effort to make the most of our time. Ask for Jake in your tours and you will be so happy!

We did the Icewalk in late December around noon. The scenery was beautiful with partly frozen streams, frozen waterfalls and lots of snow. We walked to the upper falls, which is about a 3km (a little less than 2 miles) hike each way. With pics stops and everything, it took us around 2 hours. There is a longer hike to Ink Pots but it was twice as long and we didn’t carry anything to hydrate so we decided to skip it. Make sure to get the ice cleats for your boots/shoes. They are a must to avoid slips and they’ll make the walk much easier. Make sure your boots are comfortable. Also, it’s a good workout. I needed to loose a layer on the way up.

Its an amazing and beautiful place! Tour guide Rose was full of great information. I was travelling by myself so was good company to have other fellow travellers but this walk can be easily done without a guide! Being your snow shoes warm clothes and walk it at your own pace! There is a track you can follow! and you can take your time to enjoy a cave we dodnt have access to view cause we didnt have enough time! Overall discovery banff tours offered a great service! Specially Josh at the desk who not only gave me all the information I needed but went over an beyond to explain best ways of getting to the gondola too and where to park! Thanks Josh!! :)

This hike is incredibly beautiful, but there was no value-add in going as a "tour." If you don't have a car to get there, then it could be a good way to get there. Our guide was nice, but it felt like he was in a hurry to get done. The trail was packed with other hikers not on tours, so it wasn't as if this tour was showing us anything we couldn't have seen on our own. And we would have enjoyed going at our own pace more. So, my advice if you have a rental car: rent and bring your own ice cleats and enjoy the walk at your own pace.

Incredible snow shoeing tour 🥰 our tour guide girls took us in the wilderness where we had so much snow. The tour was absolutely awesome. Including hot chocolate, maple taffy treat, sleigh riding and of course a lot of information and especially fun. Thank you Girls for this unique experience with you. Highly recommended

Our guide Neal knowledgeable, patient, and had a great sense of humor. The hot chocolate and cookies at the top of the falls was a great touch!

Jake is the most handsome worker at discover Banff. Amazing guide, great stories, and excellent personality. We were the first ones on the trails and got to see everything without any lines at all.

Our guide Rob was fantastic. The trail was super crowded with people who were not wearing properly footwear. We were very glad ice grips came with the tour as it was a much safer experience for our group.

Great scenery and a comfortable walk/distance. To boot Buck was a fantastic guide and provided useful back stories and historical references.
