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.

Our tour guide was informative and entertaining. We had the great fortune to see beavers, a number of bird species and a mom and baby elk while on the river. Our grown children and grandchildren (ages 11, 14 and 18) thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A quiet, evening paddle down the river. We didn't see much wildlife but the views were beautiful and the guide very knowledgeable.

It wasn’t very fun. No wildlife and I couldn’t hear the guide because I was in the front of the boat

Your group was wonderful. It started storming halfway through the trip and Mark generously had us for the whole experience the next day. Businesses don't have to do this as weather is out of their control. I would urge anyone going to Banff add the longboat canoe ride- with Mark if he's available.
