Things to do in Johnston Canyon

Both Johnston Canyon and Lake Minnewanka offer quintessential Canadian Rockies scenery while catering to different styles of exploration: Johnston Canyon provides an accessible, family-friendly trek along suspended catwalks through a dramatic limestone gorge to powerful lower and upper waterfalls, though it can become quite busy during peak hours; meanwhile, Lake Minnewanka offers expansive, serene alpine landscapes across a deep glacial lake, perfect for scenic boat cruises, kayaking, waterside picnics, and wildlife viewing beneath towering peaks

Louis was our tour guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable and provided detailed explanations of Banff National Park's history. He drove us safely to every attraction and advised us on what to buy and where prices might be too high. What impressed me most was that he took us to secret, off-the-beaten-path spots, leaving us with wonderful memories.

I really wanted to visit Banff, and I chose this tour because it seemed to visit more places and had a more reasonable schedule compared to other tours. I met our guide, Luis, and he was excellent from start to finish! I'm not very good at English, but his pronunciation was so clear that I could understand most of his explanations. He also pointed out great photo spots, and even on the way to the scheduled locations, he would slow down and explain things when we passed viewpoints or saw animals, which allowed me to experience so much more. Thank you, Luis!

it was a very nice quick trip to lots of things in Banff National Park. Ben is my guide, and he was doing a very great job. He is so insightful and gives a very fun and fascinating facts about each places, also being there to help with the photo and always look out for us when someone come back later than the whole group. The trip gives you quite a understandable short time for Lake Louise and Moraine Lake with only 1 hour. But, that’s a reason why we can cover a lot of things in time.

I had a wonderful time with this tour. Our tour guide/driver, Curtis was also great and very positive. We had a perfect weather during our tour and luckily on time at each destination. My only suggestion is to add more time for the Jonhston Canyon. One hour is not enough to hike/walk to the Upper Falls. Nevertheless, I can recommend this tour!

Jesse was cheerful and took great photos! He also showed us hidden photo spots, and we moved around without any issues. You can put your bags in a separate compartment, so it seems fine to bring a small carry-on. My girlfriend had a preconceived notion about group tours, but she was very satisfied because it was a small group of about 14 people, there was no pressure regarding restaurants or souvenirs, and we had plenty of time for personal photo opportunities without feeling rushed. Excellent value for money! Thanks, Jesse!

Before the trip, the travel agency emailed us to inform us that due to vehicle issues, our original Three Lakes tour was upgraded to Four Lakes. They also provided detailed pre-trip reminders, which was very thoughtful and considerate. On the day of the tour, our guide Kenneth was very talkative and knowledgeable. Through his introduction, you could feel his deep love for nature. He explained time management, photo spots, and tour routes very clearly and methodically, giving us a truly perfect and comfortable travel experience. Highly recommended!

The drivers-guides were fantastic and gave us all sorts of interesting information about the itinerary. They were also very welcoming and kind and the whole experience was awesome. I strongly recommend it. It’s well worth it and very convenient because you see lots of places in two days without having to think of parking or where places are. Thanks for everything.
