Banff's night sky adventure under the stars

Step into the crisp autumn night and embark on a memorable 4-hour stargazing tour at Two Jack Lake, one of Banff National Park’s most breathtaking night-sky destinations. Surrounded by towering peaks and the quiet beauty of fall wilderness, you’ll experience the serene Rockies under a canopy of stars.

The tour begins with a peaceful, guided walk beneath a sky filled with countless stars. As the cool mountain air surrounds you, the quiet beauty of Banff’s wilderness sets the mood for an extraordinary evening. To help illuminate your path and navigate the terrain with ease, we provide headlamps and hiking poles, ensuring a safe and comfortable walk through the trails. Along the journey, your guide will share Indigenous stories, astronomical insights, and fascinating tales about the constellations that have guided explorers for centuries.

At our carefully chosen stargazing location, you’ll have access to telescopes, binoculars, and iPads to help identify the constellations, bringing distant planets, star clusters, and galaxies into stunning clarity. To ensure your comfort, we provide premium portable heated chairs so you can settle in and gaze at the stars in complete relaxation. As you take in the wonders of the universe, enjoy a complimentary cup of hot chocolate or tea — the perfect companion for a peaceful evening surrounded by nature’s quiet beauty.
