Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I select accommodations and pay for them?
A. Accommodations can be booked directly in Calgary, Banff, or Canmore, which is approximately a 20-minute drive from Banff.

If you're staying in Calgary for a two-day, one-night trip, you'll need to travel round-trip between Banff/Canmore and Calgary, adding approximately three hours to your travel time. This increases driving time and incurs additional costs, including gas. An additional tip of C$150 is added regardless of the number of people in the group.

Even if travelers stay in Banff or Canmore, if the guide needs to return to Calgary after the first day of the tour, the same fee will apply. However, if the guide provides accommodations in Banff or Canmore (excluding hostels), there are no additional fees. Note that even if you pay for the round-trip fee, this package is cheaper than booking a two-day tour on the same day.

Also, keep in mind that even if you stay in Banff or Canmore, you won't have much free time. If you stay in Banff or Canmore, your first day will be spent at your accommodations after dinner after completing your tour, and by the time you arrive, it's already nighttime, so most people will be resting. You'll only have a short morning before your next tour. On the other hand, Calgary offers much lower accommodation prices and offers a much better value for money than those in Banff or Canmore, so I recommend staying in Calgary.

Q. I'm staying for 1 night and 2 days. Do I need to make a reservation for both days?
A. No. This cost is for one night and two days, and you only need to make a reservation for one day.

Q. Can Lake Peyto and Lake Bow be added?
A. If you choose to take the optional tours to Peyto Lake and Bow Lake, an additional $60 will be added as a tip, regardless of the number of people, as the tour time and driving time will be longer.
