Highlights
  • Pyramid Lake Road - Get ready for a serene canoeing experience in a traditional cedar strip canoe. A certified and experienced local guide will lead you through the calm waters of Pyramid Lake, nestled at the foot of Pyramid Mountain, offering a glimpse into the classic Canadian mode of travel that has been in use for many years.
    Before we embark, you’ll receive a brief on-land paddling tutorial and be equipped with a personal flotation device (PFD). Setting out from the sandy shores of Pyramid Lake Resort, you’ll embark on a journey lasting between 2.5 to 3 hours in a 25-foot, locally crafted cedar strip canoe. Designed for utmost stability and equipped with plenty of blankets and outerwear to keep you warm on cooler days, this canoe comfortably accommodates groups of up to six individuals.
    The excursion takes you around a pristine mountain lake, providing stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, chances for wildlife sightings, and a mid-tour stop on the shore for a break. During this intermission, you’ll have the opportunity to stretch, enjoy snacks like fruit and baked treats, and partake in a coffee and tea service. If the weather permits, you might even take a dip at a sandy beach. The tour concludes with the final leg bringing us back to where we started.

Very scenic private canoe trip with perfect guide Mike - Our travel agency had recommended and booked for us a canoe tour on Pyramid Lake, Jasper. We had the tour in the morning-8.30- just the two of us and Mike. We enjoyed a lot this private tour, nobody else was on the lake and you could feel that also Mike enjoyed to be out there. He is a really good guide and the whole trip was good fun. He explained a lot about flora and fauna and we were watching animals or watching out for animal traits at the shore. We also asked a lot of questions and Mike was happy to answer. What a beautiful quiet place! They build canoes themselves, very cool. Also really nice and well prepared was the picknip stop. With coffee, tea and hot chocolates and cake we enjoyed a pit stop before finishing the tour round the lake. Many thanks Mike for this very special experience! This was exactly what we hoped to enjoy in Canada! M+A

Absolute calm, peace and beauty wrapped all in one. - This Pyramid Lake Guided Evening Canoe Paddle tour on my 12 day trip to the Canadian Rockies was the absolute favorite paid tour I took. The small group (4 participants and 2 guides) was intimate, quite and calm, exactly what I wanted. The commentary about the lake and area was done very well by not talking too much, too fast or not enough. We didn't have to paddle if we choose to take pictures but could calmly paddle to enjoy. The mid-point stop with refreshments was delicious and stressfree. Our guide switched the seat order when we got back into the canoe so we all had a chance to view the beauty of the area from the front. I was concerned about getting wet during the trip but that concern quickly faded. The canoe was stable. They added blankets for comfort. This trip is absolutely in the top 2 activities I did in Canada and brings a huge smile to my face. I wish I could remember the guides name to give him kudos for a job well done.

Evening canoe trip on Pyramid Lake - We did the Private Signature Canoe Experience in the evening with Travis. It was a great trip. The lake was beautiful and Travis was very knowledgeable about the local ecology. There was almost no-one else on the lake and it was very peaceful. We didn't see that much wildlife but did see a mink and some loons. It was a lovely few hours, and the home-made treats were delicious! We would highly recommend it.

Best thing to do in Jasper - simplicity done to perfection - If you do one thing in Jasper join Mike & his wild evening canoe - unbelievably tranquil & totally stunning scenery after everyone else has gone home. Great guiding, awesome views, understated & relaxing. Simplicity done to perfection.

More than a boat ride - This is so much more than a boat ride. Our three hour canoe experience was amazing; completely surrounded by beauty and narrated by our knowledgeable skilled guide Travis. He knew so much about the history, the flora, the fauna and the boat (which he helped to build). The canoe itself was gorgeous and after a quick lesson, we set off. We saw and heard loon, enjoyed watching mink frolic on the shore and stopped on a small beach for yummy treats (no bags of Doritoes and Chips Ahoy; these were freshly baked scones ,etc). Thank you Travis for an unforgettable experience

Wonderful trip - Truly wonderful evening experience with Mike for or family of four. We took this trip coming to the end of a 2 week Canadian adventure and we all agreed that it was one of our highlights. Mike couldn’t have been more welcoming and knowledgeable about the lake and it’s wildlife. We had a glorious pit stop mid trip and enjoyed drinks and cakes that Mike had brought. The light was amazing as we paddled back tired but exhilarated. You absolutely should book this trip.

Gentle early morning paddle - Authentic perspective away from the madding crowd. Travis was a great guide, and being local, was very knowledgeable about the area and environment. Gentle canoe paddling to take in the amazing views. Hot drink and pastries on the beach was perfect
