Canoe Tour

Western Canada was first explored and settled by Europeans using Voyageur Canoes – the semi trailer of the day.  These big canoes carried supplies,

First Nation guides and adventurous souls looking for new life and opportunities in the unknown west. 

When you visit Banff you can share in the ride of a 16 person canoe complete with authentic story-telling guide. It's easy, fun and interactive. 

Voyageur Canoe trips can be enjoyed by all, including families with children, and no paddling experience is necessary.
