Overview

Our Ghost Canyoning Trip, located on the north eastern edge of Banff National Park is one of the most secluded, wild, & spectacular canyon trips you’ll experience anywhere. An all day adventure requiring 4x4 access, this spectacular experience rewards any visitor with remote mountain vistas and a canyon experience second to none. Just getting out to the ghost is an adventure. This Canyon trip is a ton of fun and includes slides, rappels, and pool jumps! The straight forward nature of the rappels makes this a great trip even for beginners who are looking for a bit more, yet the phenomenal jumps, slides and surroundings, keep it interesting even for veteran canyoneers. An all around spectacular full day experience.

After meeting your guides and other participants of the group (either at the staging area in the Heart Creek Trail parking lot or after being picked up from your hotel), it is an approximate 1.5 hour drive by van to the starting location of the canyon a 30-45 min hike will bring you to the top of the canyon adventure. Everyone suits up, and in order to ensure safety your guides will go thru a mandatory rappel and rope safety clinic with all participants.

Kris was a fantastic tour guide, he was very patient with me as I had never done canyoning before and I was a little apprehensive. He was informative, friendly and an absolute joy to spend the day with. This canyoning itself was great even for a first timer with terrible balance skills. It was an incredibly fun day and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Our family had a great time on our first canyoning experience. We splurged for this activity and it was worth it. Mark, our guide, was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and kept us all safe. My teenage son actually smiled for the first time our entire vacation and had a blast. We were so lucky to have a warm summer day which made getting in the cold cold waters refreshing. We were literally in the middle of nowhere and had the canyons to ourselves. The drive out to the canyon is a bumpy one and the initial hike up is a good elevation climb. Wear good hiking shoes and be prepared to be wet head to toe all day. At times, it was challenging, but we felt like bad a$$es at the end of the day.

Had an awesome time with our guide Mark! It was a blast and such a relief to get away from the crowds and be somewhere off the beaten path and super beautiful. Just sign up, you won't regret it. Especially on a hot day, it doesn't get much better than water slides, jumping into pools, and rappelling down a waterfall.
