Things To Do - AO Trips
Your A-O Trips team recently returned from planning your summer 2024 vacation to beautiful Banff! Whether you are planning a family trip or a getaway for two, Banff’s beauty will take your breath away. You will enjoy four luxurious nights at the Fairmont Banff Springs resort, with spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies and surrounded by the pristine wilderness of Banff National Park. The resort has a 27-hole Stanley Thompson championship golf course and a European-style spa, where you can soothe your tired muscles after a day on the links or hiking.
After a restful first night, we will begin your Canadian adventure by taking you on an A-O Trips exclusive Bow River float. Great for ages 2 and up, you will relax in a raft as your tour guide leads your serene float on the Bow River. The Bow River offers breathtaking views of the Three Sisters, which are among the tallest peaks in the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies. You may even spot some Canadian wildlife along the way! Included in your exclusive tour is a full lunch at the Maple Leaf Grill in downtown Banff.
Banff offers endless adventure and sightseeing activities, including a gondola ride that will whisk you to the top of Sulphur Mountain for stunning panoramic views. You can also take in the majestic landscape while enjoying a meal at the top of the mountain. Another fun activity is the moderate hike through Johnstone Canyon, where you will be treated with the beauty of waterfalls at the end of the hike. If time allows, enjoy a laid-back boat cruise of Lake Minnewanka.
Unique art galleries and shops to find that perfect souvenir or gift are plentiful in downtown Banff, which is a short 20-minute walk from the resort. You can also hop on the complimentary shuttle bus from the resort to get there. Banff has become known as a foodie town, so you’ll want to work in a meal or two from the many restaurants and pubs. Restaurant lists and information will be available on the A-O Trips mobile app in the spring of 2024 for those who are traveling to Banff!
If you enjoy a bit more adventure, there are opportunities for biking, mountain climbing, rafting and horseback riding. Details on optional tours for purchase will be made available in the spring of 2024. You can register for this Canadian adventure of a lifetime through February 29, 2024. Talk to your marketing representative now to set your goals and start planning your vacation. Passports that are valid for six months past travel dates are required in order to confirm travel dates. Date selection for qualified agencies will begin in October, so now is a great time to check those expiration dates!
We look forward to having you Experience the World With Us in 2024!
