With pristine blue lakes, magnificent glacial mountains, and an abundance of enchanting wildlife, Banff is nothing short of breathtaking. If you’re visiting the park for the first time from out of town and are wondering what the best way to get here is, read on! We offer shuttles between the Calgary Airport and Banff in both directions, making your journey effortless and stress-free! Follow along with Banff Adventures.
Why Choose a Shuttle from Calgary to Banff?
You don’t need a car to get to or around Banff. Due to limited parking spaces throughout the town and the park, multiple shuttles and buses are available to take visitors to various locations.
Banff is busy year-round, and rental cars are limited. It can be challenging to find an affordable rental even if booking ahead of time. Not to mention, mileage and gas costs can add up fast. If you’re coming from out of the country, booking a shuttle means no worrying about international road rules, park entry fees, or rental car expenses. You can even enjoy a nap while riding, so you’re refreshed when you arrive!
