Banff Lake Cruise
The Lake Minnewanka Cruise is one of our favourite activities in the area. Learn about its history on a one-hour interpretive tour of the lake and area. See the Devil’s Gap firsthand: This glacial path was carved out centuries ago and is a marvel to behold. This cruise is excellent for kids who love the water.
Did you know that Lake Minnewanka has a beer tour? Drink local craft beer with friends and family over 18 while taking in the stunning mountains around you. At the end, you’ll recieve a special gift to remember your trip by.
Private Fishing Charters
Perfect for family bonding, fishing charters at Lake Minnewanka are a time to remember. The private fishing charter is open to experienced and new anglers. A local guide who knows Lake Minnewanka will provide the necessary equipment and permits so you can enjoy your time on the water. Trips last between 3 and 4 hours, departing several times throughout the day. Children of all ages are welcome aboard, and if they’re under 5, they’re free!
For people who wish to try out their hand at fishing but aren’t ready to dedicate their day to a private charter, public fishing trips are available. Make new friends while catching fish on Lake Minnewanka this year.
Biking Trail
Lake Minnewanka hides an iconic trail for bikers that is almost 60km round-trip. While this trip may start off gently, the path has an elevation gain of 45km and a loss of 35 km. You’ll ride steep sidehill trails and have the chance to stop at destinations like the Warden’s Cabin. Rent a bike at our Banff Adventures location. Included with your purchase is a helmet, bike lock, and trail map so that you can find a path that best fits you. Our fleet includes both E-bikes and mountain bikes. It’s up to you which bike is best.
This is a popular hiking path that is fit for hikers and cyclists alike. At times, bikes will not be permitted on the path—too many hikers! If you love a good walk or bike ride, this trail is one you should try out no matter what.
