“Great Snow Shoe Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I went on the Discover Banff Tours Snowshoe tour to the Paint Pots in Kootenay with my husband.

The bus picked us up from our hotel in Banff as scheduled and our guides Jacob and Mark were informative and fun. They gave clear instructions on how to use the equipment and made sure that everyone was having a good time, but remained safe.

We were blessed with mild temperatures and fantastic sunshine, but the hot chocolate and maple taffy were a welcome treat.

I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience snow shoeing for the first time. We enjoyed it so much we are now planning our first solo trip.

My husband and I took a weekend trip to Banff and signed up for the snowshoeing tour to the Paint Pots. Our guides Jacob and Mark were fantastic! Very knowledgable and entertaining. While it was a lot of excersize they were very considerate of everyone's physical ability. We had an excellent time and are most definitely going to do more tours with them!

“Beautiful scenery AND a workout, all in one.”

We went snowshoeing in the Paint Pots - it was a beautiful day out in Kootenay Park. Our guides were Mark and Jake - they were definitely enthusiastic and entertaining. It was nice having opportunities to "fan out" and go our separate ways in the snowshoes - getting into the deep snow provided quite the workout. Would recommend this to other people that are snowshoe novices and just want to take in the scenery.

My wife and i did the Snow-shoe tour with Hugh , and the Johnston Canyon tour with Mags ; both tours were excellent , in fact the Snow-shoe tour was a repeat of last years.
Both guides are passionate about their subject and make for very enjoyable and informative tours. Excellent.
