Pursuit Adventure Centre

About Pursuit Adventure Centre

Book your backcountry trips, horseback rides, and guided hikes through the same outfit that runs the major lodges in the park. You get the advantage of dealing with one trusted operation that knows Banff inside out. Their guides are sharp, their logistics are solid, and they handle everything from permits to gear rentals so you don't have to figure it out yourself.

Choose from multi-day backpacking expeditions into remote valleys, saddle-horse excursions through meadows, or guided day hikes to peaks most tourists never reach. They offer ice-climbing instruction in winter, via ferrata courses on canyon walls, and fishing trips to backcountry lakes. You can rent camping gear here too if you're planning your own adventure but don't want to haul equipment from home.

Book well ahead during peak season (July through September), as their most popular trips fill fast. The trade-off is that convenience comes at a price higher than booking directly with independent outfitters. Go here if you want a hassle-free experience with proven expertise, particularly if you're new to backcountry travel or traveling with a group that needs coordination.
