Great way to see the park differently and safely. - The walk was great, our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and ready to try and show us some stars. Pace and difficulty were very easy, a small patch of ice was nothing. The moon was practically full so we didn't see as much but Sirius was putting on a show for us.

Must experience to believe - Amazing your, views like nothing I’ve seen before and so unique going at night. Some of the nicest pictures I’ve taken of the night sky. Started out a little cloudy but cleared up well. Even if it hadn’t cleared the views were still stunning. Highly recommend for anyone. Tour guide well prepared and knowledgeable. Felt very safe with the headlamp and metal crampons. Half of the hike we didn’t even need the headlamp because of how bright the sky was from the northern lights but you could still see the stars and satélites. Will def do it again next time we are back here.

Must do for adventurous travelers! - This tour was awesome! The tour guide Jacob was extremely knowledgable, and made clear his emphasis was safety first and foremost. He made a concentrated effort to engage with each member of the tour group and had frequent stops to check in and make sure everyone was comfortable. His enthusiasm and passion for nature and the park was infectious and we walked away feeling like we had a very authentic experience. Not to mention the picturesque views were stunning throughout.

Beautiful Night Skies of Canada - Jacob was an amazing guide. His expertise and stories he shared made the experience very fun and memorable. It was beautiful getting to see the stars in the middle of the clear Canadian night sky. The atmosphere was amazing and Jacob did a great job leading the group and making sure everyone was comfortable and having an enjoyable time. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in seeing a different side of Banff and experiencing something very special.
