Banff Bow River Kayaking Adventure

Join us on a group kayak paddle to explore the Bow River. Check out the local wildlife, capture that perfect picture in front of Mount Rundle and maybe even catch a glimpse of our resident beaver, Barry.
The early bird gets the worm, and in this case, the kayakers gets to hit the river first (before rentals are open)! Experience paddling the Bow River or Creek with no other boats (apart from your group). It's magic. Connect with nature and other double kayakers as you enjoy the serene surroundings and picturesque views. Our friendly hosts will help answer your questions and point you in the right direction. Please note that participants must have previous kayak experience and should be fairly physically fit as the experience can be adventurous and you may be required to portage. Kayak Experience includes a potential portage so participants should be prepared in case they get muddy or wet.

Price is based on a double kayak. Price is per boat. Please contact us for single kayak rates.
