    Canadian Off Road Adventures - Beautiful views on our ATV tour with Canadian Off-Road Adventures in Golden, British Columbia (June 2022)

    Literally no other place I would rather write about for my 100th review of 2022!!! I am so, so…read morefortunate my friend took me to Canadian Off-Road Adventures located in Golden, British Columbia back in June of 2022 for an epic day of riding around on All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). My friend booked a three hour tour with the owner, Che, and we were super excited to have him and Ayden as our guides for the afternoon. In fact, we were actually the only ATV on the tour on this particular rainy day but we did not mind ONE bit!!! My friend and I ended up sharing an ATV due to the rather steep increase in price to have two drivers (drivers are $229 while passengers are $99). While we had planned to take turns driving, my friend was so, so, so kind to let me drive the whole day because I was having the best day EVER!!! Che and Ayden drove us in the company van to the starting point after we were outfitted with our safety gear (helmets, gloves, and handkerchiefs). We practiced driving around a dirt lot for a little while so Che could ensure we were being safe and knew how to operate the ATV. Once we were given the all-clear, it was time to adventure. Seriously, the views were absolutely stunning from mountain views to rivers, streams, and waterfalls! When we got to the top of the vista, the light rain had actually turned into snow and I genuinely felt like we were in a snow globe. It was such an amazing experience from start to finish. We even saw a black bear on our way back. I had never had so much fun on an ATV before but this tour actually led me to book another ATV tour in Big Bend National Park earlier this fall. Che was hands down the best and while our trip to Banff and Jasper was a highlight reel, this ATV tour was my favorite part of the trip. I cannot recommend Canadian Off-Road Adventures enough - it is worth every minute and every penny!!!

    Super fun trip! We went on the 20 min tour and were lucky enough to be the only people on our…read moreflight. Since we were a party of 2, we could sit in the front seats which usually requires an additional charge to guarantee those seats. The flight was super smooth and we loved being the co-pilot and see the glaciers from high above. Unfortunately there was a good amount of smoke coming from wildfires up north which led to somewhat poor visibility but we would highly recommend this to anyone. We'll definitely be back to a longer ride the next time we're in the rockies!

    For our family vacation in Banff, ten of us took a helicopter ride. It was the first for all of us…read morebut my mom in particular was nervous about it. Naturally, we put her in the co-pilot's seat. Mom is my co-pilot. And she absolutely loved it. We all did! There were some tummy flipping dips as we rode the currents between mountains, but we were in very capable hands with our pilots. I wouldn't say I'm a religious person, but I now understand what they mean by "God's country". Flying around the sun drenched peaks of the Canadian Rockies will make anyone believe in heaven. We saw azure blue mountain lakes, sprawling rivers and miles of blue peaked mountains. It was awe inspiring. After about 20 minutes of flying, our pilots gently touched down next to a mountain stream and led us upstream on a little hike to a beautiful waterfall. Then, just when things couldn't get better, they whipped out the CHAMPAGNE. In real GLASS glasses, which is waaaay better than the plastic ones I take to picnics. We explored the area and chatted with our very interesting and friendly pilots for over an hour. And of course, after several glasses of champs, my sis and I needed to hike to the top of the falls for topless Little Mermaid pix. To say everyone was happy would be an under(wear)statement. All of it was just glorious and I would highly recommend this to anyone! My mom is 80+ and had no problem with the ride or the hike. Just FYI, they do weigh everyone before flight. Our groups were both "a little" over the weight limit. Everything's bigger in Texas! But the pilots oked us to fly. I helpfully suggested if we needed to lighten our load, we should throw out my nephew before we lose the champagne. A girl's gotta have priorities!

    We spent a few days in Banff and Lake Louise on a family vacation (grown kids, so 4 adults total)…read moreand had the absolute pleasure of booking two hiking days with Joel, and the experience was the highlight of our trip. Joel is super knowledgeable about the National Parks and the whole Lake Louise area, and shares engaging information during the hike that we found fascinating. He's great at answering questions, great to chat with, and I never knew what he would pull from his pack next that would help us understand more about the plants or animals or mountains surrounding us. The hikes themselves are tailored to what you share is your fitness level and desired experience, and the natural beauty is incredible. I cannot recommend enough to do a hike, a bird walk, a snowshoe, etc with Great Divide Nature Interpretation. Thank you, Joel, for a truly wonderful experience that we will never forget!

    I recently had reason to enquire about hikes based out of Lake Louise; I was thinking of staying at…read morethe Moraine Lake Lodge and on their website is a link to Great Divide Nature Interpretation guides. I was very much impressed by the speediness of reply to my email, the quality of the response -- very detailed, easy to understand, with several links explaining how the specific hike of the day I requested would work, maps re: that hike, and generalities about how hikes from Great Divide Nature Interpretation worked. Very impressive. As it turns out, I won't be able to participate in the hike. I suppose that makes this review perhaps not as complete as it could be, but I was so impressed by the customer service that I thought I should note it here. Here's an example of what they wrote: "A full outline of how our service works (including pricing and cancellation policies) is included at the end of this message. Or, see it all in colour on our website at www.greatdivide.ca. With our service, the first person to book for any given date selects the hike length, difficulty and destination for day. Other people are then invited to join that hike to a maximum of 8. Or, we can take your private booking. On September 5 we have a full day hike with space available for you to join, but it is located between Banff and Lake Louise and is not too long. You could expect to be finished at the trailhead around 3:30 pm. Sept 5 Stanley Glacier Moderate full day hike - moderate rise on a nicely switch-backed trail, one very short steep section. Distance: 8.4 km / 5.5 mi Elevation: 1200 ft / 365 m Time: 6 hours (with drive) Very interesting landscape because of fires both 40 years ago and in 2003. The final third is above the fire and in both old-growth forest and open alpine area with nice views. Marmots and pikas often seen. Stories include: fire ecology, wildflowers, wildlife (including moose, bears, lynx, hare, hummingbirds, and high country specialists) and glaciers. " Fantastic, no? That's just a short section. The email isn't too long, however, it's like Goldilocks. It's just right. If it's any indication of the quality of the hikes themselves, then you're assured of a fantastic time.

For approximately the next three hours, Mark patiently showed me how to best use my Nikon and walked me through how to shoot a good landscape photo. Although Mark obviously is a highly skilled expert, he was never patronizing. He was always personal and professional. I recommend him highly.

    When I was going to be in Banff for a conference, I arranged two consecutive private morning…read moresunrise workshops with Mark Unrau, owner of Rocky Mountain Photo Adventures. Right from the start, I was impressed with Mark's communication-- prompt, professional, and friendly. He picked me up both mornings from my lodge at 5:30am and took me to THE most gorgeous spots. We didn't stay clumped up with the rest of the photographers, as he knows the best spots away from the others so you can really focus (and get unique shots). I'm a hobbyist photographer who knows the basics, but I came away with a new appreciation for taking time to properly compose an image, working with a variety of filters to manage morning light, and understanding the ins and outs of long exposure shooting. I've been on many photo workshops in the past, and oftentimes the teacher is distracted by their own camera and capturing their own images while also trying to teach. This is NOT Mark. He does not bring out his camera (although he has ALL the equipment you could ever need) and gives you his 100% undivided attention. Mark is a truly gifted and passionate teacher who takes the time to learn about his student and their level of expertise, meets them where they are, and then extends their skills to improve their photography far beyond what I could have imagined. He's also an all around nice guy, who remains available to you after the workshop for questions, follow-up etc. I truly enjoyed my time with him and couldn't recommend him highly enough. Oh, and the shots I captured were truly breathtaking-- Thanks Mark!

Jobo met us at our hotel at 8 o'clock sharp and from there we spent the entire day seeing the wonders of the nearby mountains. We saw more in one day than I could have managed in three days, all without being rushed at all. It pays to have someone who is intimately familiar with the area as your guide. Although the information on the signage was more than sufficient, Jobo provided additional color regarding each of the stops. Jobo was very friendly, courteous, and it was an absolute pleasure to be in his company. The vehicle was very clean, stocked with ample water, and very well-maintained. I highly recommend ABest Transport and Tour Services Inc, and their "rider driven" philosophy, which Jobo exemplified. The next time that we are on holiday in Calgary, we know who we will contact for a tour.
