Banff Cave Expeditions

Yeah, the peaks and hills of our mountains are beautiful – but it’s what’s on the inside that really counts! A Banff Cave Expedition will take you in, under and through the tunnels, cracks and crevices 60ft below the surface of the Rockies. Brave explorers are in for the adventure of a lifetime with this heart-racing, fact pacing, journey to rarely chartered territory. But beware, this one isn’t for the faint of heart!

Take a beat from the hustle and bustle of the big city with an easy-breezy snowshoeing tour under the stars.

Winsport – Inner Tube Hill

Calgary is a powder-covered wonderland in the winter, best enjoyed on the hills of Winsport! Not everyone is comfortable on a pair of skis, which is why we’re a big fan of their inner tube park. Almost anyone can enjoy the breeze, the snow and themselves with this adrenaline-inducing activity.
