Trip was well organized and educational. Had fox sighting and the stars were very abundant. Loved it.

We’re delighted to hear your Night Adventure with Canmore Travel was such a well-organized and educational evening!
How exciting that you spotted a fox along the way, and what a treat that the stars were so abundant. Comfort, timing, and local expertise are what we strive for, and it’s wonderful to hear it all came together for you.
We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the Rockies!

The guides shared many interesting anecdotes and facts about the area which helps distract you from the cold. Being with group gave us confidence to go places at night we would not go alone. The campfire and light painting was fun. There was too much fog for Aurora but we did see stars.

We’re so glad your Night Adventure with Canmore Travel was such a fun way to explore the area after dark!
It’s lovely that our guides’ stories and local insights helped take your mind off the chill, and that the campfire and light painting added that extra touch of magic. Our small group format is designed exactly for moments like that, the confidence to explore places you wouldn’t go alone. The fog can be unpredictable up here, but we’re delighted the stars still came out for you.
We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure under the Rockies’ skies!

The stargazing was amazing—we saw Jupiter and her moons through the telescope, and with the naked eye we were treated to such a clear sky that we saw the arm of the Milky Way! The tour guides were kind and very knowledgeable, and each location was easy to get to and comfortable, despite the cold! I highly recommend this tour!

We’re thrilled to hear your Night Adventure with Canmore Travel was such a great stargazing experience!
Seeing Jupiter and her moons through the telescope and catching the arm of the Milky Way with the naked eye is truly special, not every guest gets such a clear sky! Our guides will be so pleased to know their knowledge and care made each stop comfortable and memorable, even in the cold.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure in the Rockies!

This was a wonderful experience despite the mostly cloudy conditions. The guides shared their knowledge and identified certain visible constellations, set up a scope for us to get a closer view, warmed us up with hot chocolate and spiced tea. Then a surprise activity that we were able to capture on our smart phone cameras. But I will not provide the details so that others can experience the activity firsthand.

The guides were wonderful! Very courteous and upbeat. Tried every way possible to make us comfortable and entertained. Took us to one of the best spots for night sky viewing. Gave lots of info about the area. Provided blankets, chairs, and hot drinks. Unfortunately nature did not cooperate so we saw very few stars and no aurora.
Lovely starry night with great tour guides! Got to learn not only about the stars but also local flora and fauna - and bears! Bear safety was taken very seriously which was good. Driver picked me up on time too.

The Banff night adventure was a magical experience, with attentive guides who ensured our comfort and kept the hot chocolate flowing as we relaxed under the night sky. We enjoyed seeing a few planets, moons, and stars and captured fun, memorable photos that made the evening unforgettable.

Pam y Denisse fueron extraordinarias. Su gran conocimiento hizo de esta experiencia algo muy especial. Los cielos nocturnos fueron totalmente hermosos y la plática y enseñanza muy amena. Fuimos mi esposo, mi hija de 9 años y yo. Una perfecta actividad para terminar el día. Recomiendo cien por ciento.
