Bow River Tours in Canmore

Have you ever stared down at the stunning glacial waters of the Bow River and wondered what’s around the next bend? Do you know where the wildlife of the Bow Valley hang out all day? Have you heard the stories of the river and where it’s incredible journey began?

Canmore River Adventures invites you to be our guest on one of our inspiring Bow River float tours. With a passion for guiding as deep as the Bow River itself and with seemingly endless stories of the mountains, your time gently guided down the Bow River will be second to none.

Canmore River Adventures is dedicated to inspiring your mountain adventures in Canmore, the gateway to Banff National Park. Soak in the stunning views, inspiring stories, glacial blue waters, local mountain history and maybe even a bear sighting. Our float tours have it all.

Let our guides expertly guide you down these stunning glacial waters with views of the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains not seen from town. Our family friendly tours are the perfect adventure for nature lovers of any age or ability.

Check out our ‘Return To Vehicle/Hotel Options‘ in our Float Tours selection.  We are the only company to offer such unique and amazing choices for our guests to get back to their vehicle or hotel! And you have a chance to explore the area in a totally different way!  We provide free transport back to your vehicle and even purchased a Handi-Bus (it has an awesome Lift!) for our guests with not-so-good mobility. If you choose to walk/hike we’ll provide directions (Maps or Apps), suggestions and even come pick you up if the little ones get too tired! If you’d like to bike back (BYOBike) we’ll shuttle your bikes to the takeout so you can just hop on and go.  If you want us to rent-a-bike for you, please give us 24hr notice.

“Great float trip”
My daughter and young grandsons and I had a great time on the trip. Matt and Courtney were so friendly and knowledgeable – as well as being great with kids. Thanks so much!
“Superb”
A nice relaxing cruise , with plenty of good stories and info from Matt. Really enjoyable trip with stunning views and wildlife to see and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
“Best part of our vacation”
We were passing by and saw them at the river… They had room for us, so we hopped in! The ride was very slow and peaceful- the water clear as crystal. Loved every minute !
“Amazing float down the bow!”
Such a relaxing and beautiful float down the bow with our guide Matt. He was extremely knowledgable about the area and even stopped part way down the river to let us take pictures of an osprey. Definitely recommend this company to locals and visitors alike!
