Banff: Gondola, Hot Spring and Three Lakes Tour

Before you book

• The listing gives three starting points and four drop-off points, set by the option you book; its description says you join in Calgary or Canmore. Round-trip transport, a guide, bottled water and the national park pass are included.
• Not included: the Banff Gondola ticket, Upper Hot Springs admission, the Lake Minnewanka cruise ticket and the guide's tip. The hot springs are in the title and description but not in the itinerary, and they are closed for maintenance from 13 October to early November 2026; Parks Canada sells entry only in person. The Lake Minnewanka Cruise's 2026 season ended on 12 October, and Pursuit lists 7 May to 11 October for 2027.
• The listing's gondola closure dates, 29 to 31 October and 4 to 15 November, are not Pursuit's: Pursuit's 2026 hours page shows the gondola open daily from 13 October to 16 November and closed only from 17 to 19 November. If you book for late October or early November, ask the operator whether the gondola stop runs.
• The Lake Minnewanka Trail and Aylmer Pass Trail have been closed since 16 September 2026 “until further notice” because of black bears. Not suitable, per the listing, for people afraid of heights, with altitude sickness or high blood pressure, babies under 1 or people over 95; drones and alcohol are not allowed. Cancellation, as listed: “Cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.”
