Cruise Toronto Harbour from Pier 6 in a small group of up to 10 people. Expect live stories about the skyline, CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and Hanlan’s Point, with guides such as Owen, Asha, Lyba, and Sophie appearing on different departures. Bring a camera and arrive early for parking.
“Very informative and fun. It’s an incredible view of the Toronto skyline and the tour guide was wonderful.”
Meet your horse at Banff Trail Riders’ red stables, learn basic Western riding, then follow lead and tail guides beside the Bow River and Cave and Basin Hot Springs. Sarah, Jade, and other guides are praised for clear instruction and local stories. Bring long pants, sturdy shoes, and insect repellent.
“Jade and Steph were fantastic guides! The one hour Bow River ride was a great experience for our family of five.”
Ride a calm horse through Banff National Park with lead and tail guides, following the Bow River toward natural sulfur springs and a marsh loop. You’ll see Mt. Norquay and Cascade Mountain, learn local history, and return to the stables after about an hour. Basic English is required.
“This was a great experience although I wish we could’ve moved faster on the horses. Still a great time and will be back”
Spend an hour in Konzelmann Vineyards’ private dome, tasting about five or six Reserve and Family Reserve wines with charcuterie, breads, and small bites. Guides such as Alex, Rebecca, JP, and Tina explain the wines and winery story while you enjoy views toward the vineyard, Lake Ontario, and, on clear days, Toronto.
“We had an amazing day at the Konzelmann Estate Winery with beautiful field and lake views from our private dome. The charcuterie and wine parings were on point and our Wine Consultant John impressed us with his wine expertise. We were introduced to a new love of Iced Wine and had to stop in the shop to purchase some fine wine on our way out. A truly incredible experience, one we wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
Ride a gentle, well-trained horse through wooded trails near Banff Springs, with two Spray River crossings, Bow Falls views, and guides such as Samantha, Summer, Ki, and Liv sharing local stories. Basic instruction, helmets, and lead and tail guides make this a friendly first ride.
“We had a brilliant time on the hour spray ride! The tour guides were great fun and we felt really safe at all times. The ride is so scenic! Would highly recommend!”
Ride through Banff National Park on a calm one-hour trail ride with Banff Trail Riders. After a short riding lesson, you follow the Spray River Trail Loop, cross the river, and see Bow Falls and the surrounding mountains. The pace suits beginners, but riders must be at least 8, under 230 pounds, and able to control a horse.
“This was a wonderful experience. Everyone was so nice and easygoing! Our guide Max was so sweet and informative!”
