Explore Banff National Park on a guided day tour and discover some of the most spectacular viewpoints and scenic vistas. Discover some of the most popular areas of the park as well as a variety of lesser-known viewpoints and natural landmarks with the expertise of your guide.

1. Sunshine Meadows hike: a gentle alpine trail above Sunshine Village with sweeping wildflower meadows, panoramic mountain views, and three small hidden alpine lakes tucked among the ridges. Easy, well‑marked paths with rolling terrain and short climbs—great for families and casual hikers.

2. Johnston Canyon Hike: discover a popular hiking trail that follows the canyon and leads to a meadow within the Johnston Valley above. Admire the Ink Pots, which are six blue-green spring-fed pools.

3. Then, head to Vermilion Lakes, located immediately west of Banff in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in the Bow River valley at the foot of Mount Norquay. Keep an eye out for native wildlife and take in the breathtaking scenery.

4. Experience timeless Rocky Mountain views from Sulphur Mountain via the Sulphur Gondola. Enjoy sweeping scenes of six mountain ranges, the Bow Valley, and Banff. Stroll the boardwalk to the Cosmic Ray Station and Sanson’s Peak, learn about Canada’s first national park, and breathe the clear, revitalising mountain air. (note: Gondola ticket is not included, if you don't want to take gondola, you can choose to browse Banff Town on your own for 1.5 hours)

5. Cascades of Time Garden spreads out behind Banff National Park's historic administration building at 101 Mountain Ave. A geological sequence of cascading ponds and water courses provide the garden’s namesake and is highlighted with flowers, shrubs, rustic bridges, pavilions and flagged walks. The peak season for blooms is June through September.

6. Stop at Bow Falls which rumble about 30 feet over a low-gradient pitch of channelled bedrock, providing a short turbulent interrupt of the cerulean waters of the Bow River. Visit Surprise Corner which is named for its spectacular views when viewed from Buffalo Street, an excellent place for photos.
