Banff National Park & Gondola Day Tour from Calgary or Banff

Discover Banff National Park with us on a guided day tour from Calgary or Banff. Enjoy approximately 90 minutes to explore Banff town’s shops and cafés, then see the rushing water at Bow Falls and photograph the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel from Surprise Corner. At the Banff Gondola stop, you can choose to purchase a ride up Sulphur Mountain for sweeping Rocky Mountain views; admission costs extra. On eligible dates, explore Johnston Canyon’s trails and catwalks. From October 13 through April, the canyon visit is replaced by Cascade of Time Garden and Cave and Basin National Historic Site, where admission is optional and costs extra. If the gondola closes, the tour visits Mt. Norquay Viewpoint and Vermilion Lakes instead. Eligible winter departures may include a crampon experience, weather permitting.
