Wonderful experience - It was less than $200 for 2 people for a 3 hour beautiful experience. We got out at many lookouts to see animals and we saw SO many. We saw elk, bighorn sheep, two kinds of deer, and coyotes. This was the highlight of our trip to Banff! You also get a mid trip snack (s’mores) and drink (tea/coffee/hot chocolate). We highly recommend.

Amazing experience - We combined this tour with the Gondola as well. Tess was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about Banff, the local geography and the wildlife. We learnt a lot about the social aspects of the area as well, which is something we enjoy. The small group atmosphere was lovely.

Outstanding Experience - This experience was full of fantastic views of Banff, our guide Lubo was very knowledgeable of the history of the area, very friendly and accommodating. We saw a group of elk, bull elk fighting, which was exciting, mule deer, and white tail deer, and also some sites that you wouldn’t see if not on this tour. Lubo went above and beyond so our family had the best experience! We highly recommend Radaventures.

Amazing sights, amazing wildlife! - Amazing!! We had Charlie as our guide for the wildlife and scenic highlights tour and he was the best!!! You can't control nature so I was excited to just see the sights, but my goodness did we luck out when it came to animals! We saw deer, elk and got some really awesome shots of a pack of Coyotes! Charlie was a really fun guide, talked about the history and geography of the area and was super knowledgeable. He was super attentive and took awesome photos and made some delicious hot chocolate. Highly recommend this tour!! Thanks Charlie!

Best Banff highlights with Nolan. - Nolan was incredibly friendly, prepared and so very knowledgeable about every aspect of our experience. He spotted sheep that were camouflaged and clinging to a roadside cliff, found the best spots to stop, provided cleats to make walking safer and made delicious hot chocolate. Being able to walk on a frozen lake and see methane bubbles was amazing. I’d recommend this tour to everyone.

Great small group tour - Loved the small group size. Our tour guide, Gini was terrific. She drove us to beautiful spots and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. At one spot, she made hot chocolate, hot mocha & hot tea for those interested. Gini was very safety conscious. Always there to lend a hand as we got out of the van. She also directed us to the least icy area to walk. Gini shared stories about the various areas she took us. Great job Gini!
