Big Canoe Tours - Banff Canoe Club

Enjoy the serenity of the Bow River and marvel at the surroundings on their Big Canoe Tours. As you journey upstream, their friendly and professional guides will entertain you with stories of the past, the history of canoeing, and provide interesting local facts. The River Explorer tour is perfect for the whole family and no paddling experience is necessary. It's a fun and interactive way to explore the beautiful Bow River. Or join them on an early evening Wildlife Big Canoe tour and learn fun facts about animal habitats, behaviours and conservation. Escape the bustling Banff streets and get back to nature. Enjoy paddling up the scenic Bow while keeping your eyes peeled for some of the locals - bald eagles, elk, muskrats and maybe even “Barry” the resident beaver. Learn best practices for wildlife encounters and discover the challenges they face with increasing human interaction. You can’t get a more scenic backdrop for an interpretive wildlife tour.
