Banff Day Tour Johnston Canyon and Banff Gondola from Calgary

Embark on signature journey from Calgary—your gateway to the mountains—into the breathtaking, UNESCO-listed Banff National Park. We plunge into the heart of the Rockies, beginning your exploration with the dramatic Johnston Canyon. Here, guests are allotted 60 minutes to explore the stunning gorge, walking along catwalks built right into the canyon walls (seasonal alternative: Marble Canyon or Cave and Basin). Returning to the town of Banff, you have the (optional) opportunity to ride the famous Banff Gondola for spectacular 360-degree panoramic views from Sulphur Mountain. The afternoon continues with essential viewing stops, including the churning cascades of Bow Falls, the iconic 'postcard' photo of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel at Surprise Corner, and the unique geological spires at the Hoodoos Viewpoint. The day concludes with approximately 90 minutes of free time for you to shop, explore, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Banff before the tour concludes.
