Beautiful experience! - Great adventure! We had a clear night and the surprise of a lifetime… Aurora showed up! It was amazing! We were all so enthralled with the Northern Lights that we pretty much skipped over the stargazing! Our guide was Ben and he was great! He even taught us all how to take night mode pictures! The trail is a paved path for the majority of the walk. No incline at all. There is a short portion that is not paved but it is in good condition/well maintained.

The best hike I have ever taken - We were extremely fortunate to see the northern lights but tour guide was lovely, very knowledgable and provided lots of information and history in relation to the tour. While not everyone will see the northern lights the location they hike to will be great for the star gazers or those interested in astronomy.

Absolutely Unexpected!!!! - When we booked this Banff tour six months or more ago, who knew that we would get to experience the Northern Lights!!!! Our guide, Ben, did a great job leading a group of people into the Banff National Forest and sharing his knowledge about the area. Ben was expecting to share all about the stars that we would see in the dark sky but we were all in shock when the lights began to shimmer and dance in the sky! We saw greens, pinks and purples, what an amazing opportunity! Bucket list item - check!!!

Reputable and Honest - Highly recommend. We were not able to complete the activity because of the clouds. The guide explained in detail how the clouds would not allow us to see stars and even suggested safe spots to star watch independently on a clear night. They refunded us immediately. Will definitely be booking with them in the future because of their honesty and openness.

Fantastic walk with Ben - It was a fantastic walk out to where we inevitably saw the northern lights in all thier glory. Ben stopped at many areas for various photo shoots as a warm up to the northern lights. We learned a lot from him on the area and history of the Cave Basin.

Views are amazing! Ben is the Best! - Amazing tour! Ben was wonderful and the views and pictures are incredible! It’s an easy hike (walk on paved trail, with little elevation if any) and the views are amazing. The amount of stars and Mountain Views can’t be beat!
