**Only Winters 15th Oct - 30th May** OfTeN MissEd by IntErNaTioNaL ToUrIsTs Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park is a unique and fascinating natural formation. The bridge is formed by the erosion of the limestone rock by the rushing waters of the Kicking Horse River behind what was once a more standard waterfall. Over time, the constant flow of water over thousands of years wore away at the rock, creating a hole in the limestone behind the falls. As the hole grew larger, the river began to flow through it, creating the tunnel that we see today. The result is a beautiful and unique natural structure that is truly one of a kind, and is a must-see when visiting Yoho National Park.

Admission included60 min

Located in Banff National Park, Alberta, is renowned for its stunning waterfalls and dramatic limestone cliffs. We will go up to Lower falls only. The easy-to-moderate trail follows Johnston Creek, featuring catwalks and bridges that provide breathtaking views of Falls. This popular hiking destination, known for its picturesque natural setting and opportunities for wildlife observation, can be quite crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Admission included15 min

Bow Falls is one of Banff’s signature viewpoints—a wide, powerful waterfall located just minutes from Banff town and the historic Fairmont Banff Springs. Unlike the tall, plunging waterfalls of the Rockies, Bow Falls spreads dramatically across the Bow River, creating a thunderous, foaming cascade that’s especially impressive in spring and early summer. The short riverside trail offers close-up views, gentle walking paths, and beautiful angles for photography. Surrounded by rugged cliffs, flowing glacier water, and distant mountain peaks, Bow Falls is an accessible, family-friendly stop that perfectly captures the beauty of Banff National Park. It’s a must-visit highlight for sunrise calm, midday power, or golden-hour glow.

The Best of Banff National Park

The best way to see all of the iconic places through Banff National Park is on this tour. Our tour guide, Anchit, was wonderful, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. He provided lots of fun facts about each stop as well as the park itself. I highly recommend this tour!

A great day!

Robyn was our guide and she was excellent! She took us to popular destinations like Moraine but also to quieter spots like Bow Lake and Peyto Lake. Robyn knew so many facts about all the areas. We spent the day with the Garcia family from FL. Robyn picked us up where we were staying. This day was by far the highlight of our week! We also saw an Elk, bear, deer, and mountain sheep, and a few more.

Amazing Excursion - VIP Treatment

This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Kieran was so thoughtful and caring. He went far out of his way to treat us like VIPs. I would not attempt to do these sites yourself with a car - they are totally packed with little parking and some areas are only open to tour buses. Kieran knew how to navigate crowded sites like a professional and always took us to pointed out the best spots. Everyone on our tour really appreciated it. It was such a great way to see all the iconic sites like VIPs.

Great first stop.

Great first thing to do to see Banff. Many places are just so busy that having a driver is the only way to get in and out easy. Stops were what you would want to see. Van was plush and comfy. Highly recommend. Arun the driver was very nice.

Must do tour

The driver, Anchit, was excellent. He text the night before confirming pick up location and time. He offered to take pictures for our family and made sure we could hear in the van. Small group made it easier to keep track of everyone. We saw many attractions, more than other tours. I would definitely recommend taking this tour. Taking a tour beats looking for parking spaces and often times getting close parking.
