Fantastic trip expect all weathers from cold and wet to very warm. Its tough but worth it. Camping is good but expect hard ground to pitch tent on not grass. It’s a trip that you will talk about for a long time. So many different experiences.
Banff Holidays & Tours
Banff National Park Tours
In Banff, they take the well-used idiom, “old guy’s do it better” to heart. Particularly when it comes to Canada’s elder statesmen, who believe that patience and maturity supersede the way that the younger generations approach life living out in the wilderness. From kayaking on the turquoise, glacier fed waters of Lake Louise to driving through the Icefields Parkway and trekking past pine-covered foothills, beauty greets you at every turn on our Banff National Park tours.
If you’ve never experienced the Canadian Rockies before, then this is a fantastic place to start, and once you finally prise yourself out of their bubbling hot springs, the sights you’ll see in this national park are bound to leave indelible imprints on your memory.

Insider Tip: Fly over Banff like an eagle
If you’ve always wanted to have the opportunity to take a helicopter ride over the glaciers, mountains and shimmering lakes of Banff, then a trip will not disappoint. Imagine soaring over ice fields and keeping an eye out for grizzly bears as you skirt pine forests and listen to your guide pointing out the natural landmarks below. With stunning aerial views in every direction, the only thing you need to do is buckle up and watch the rotor blades whir into action.
Best time to visit Banff National Park
It’s probably worth recommending that you should pack clothing for every weather condition that you can possibly think of, because Banff’s weather forecasts are known to change quickly. As a rule, you can expect June, July and August to be relatively warm in Canada, offering perfect walking opportunities for hiking enthusiasts. Outside of these months, temperatures can get chilly, especially at night, however, on the plus side you will experience less crowds in these transitional months of September and October, which will also allow you to take advantage of the spectacular colour-changing foliage.
Bethan Roberts Canadian Rockies: Heli-Hike & Wilderness
Norma Wall Canadian Rockies: Heli-Hike & WildernessThis was an amazing and unforgettable trip. The hikes were fabulous and the itinerary was ideal. 3 nights in each place meant you got to see a lot in each area and there wasn’t too much driving. The focus was on the hiking and the views and seeing the best of each area. This trip enabled us to see the best spots while at the same time getting off the beaten track. Would highly recommend this trip, well worth it.
Sue Jarvis Canadian Rockies: Heli-Hike & WildernessThe Rockies are magnificent and this trip includes the famous areas around Banff and Jasper but also takes you into the mountains away from the crowds. The group was a mixture of ages but we were all quite experienced walkers. There is little flat so although the distances aren’t great the ascents are strenuous but you get into the heart of the mountains. The camping was very well organised and the food was excellent.
