Welcome to the Canadian Rockies - our favorite place on earth! This retreat is for the mid-range travelers who appreciate exciting adventure, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Here’s just a taste of what you can expect to experience on this retreat:
May 26th: Pick up from the airport at 3pm, welcome dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Banff.
May 27th: Up early to embark on our Banff Gondola adventure in the morning. This afternoon, you’ll have time to explore the quaint town of Banff on your own before a Wildlife Canoe cruise as a group down the Bow River, and a later dinner in downtown Banff on your own.
May 28th: This morning, we’ll enjoy breakfast as a group before heading to Banff for a cruise on Lake Minnewanka. Lunch on your own in downtown Banff. We’ll enjoy a private cooking class at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel for dinner.
May 29th: Today, we’re heading north to the Lake Louise area, where we’ll stay in some of our favorite cabins. We’ll hike through Johnston Canyon this morning to see both the upper and lower falls. We’ll do a two-hour horseback riding trail ride in Lake Louise this afternoon and enjoy dinner in Lake Louise.
May 30th: Sunrise tour of Moraine Lake with breakfast and Consolation Lakes hike afterward. You’ll have time to relax along Baker Creek this afternoon, enjoy s’mores by the fire, or a nice walk with great views before dinner at the Fairmont Lake Louise.
May 31st: Today, we’ll drive into Yoho National Park, and enjoy a hike around Emerald Lake, the Natural Bridge, and Takkakaw Falls. We’ll have lunch in Canmore. Tonight, you’ll have a chance to shop around, or walk along the Bow River, before dinner on your own.
June 1st: After breakfast, we’ll head to the Kananaskis Nordic Spa. This experience is unlike any other spa. From steam rooms to relaxation pools, cold plunges, and so much more, we’ll have a 3-hour experience here with time to relax and take your time enjoying each element. We’ll have free time in Canmore this afternoon, and then a goodbye dinner out.
June 2nd: Breakfast together, everyone heads home

Any passport/travel fees
Tips & gratuity
A few of your meals, as noted above
COST: $5,350/person

*Accommodations are shared rooms - either with a king bed for couples, or two queens for two singles. If you’d like a single room to yourself, please contact us for special pricing.
On this trip, we’re not just taking you somewhere we don’t understand. This will be our NINTH Banff retreat, and we can’t wait to stun you with its incredible beauty, and a hospitality level you’ve never experienced on any other retreat. We can’t wait to pamper you, and bring you to one of the most beautiful places on earth.
NOTE: If you are the type of person who needs every second of a trip planned out, and you struggle to remain flexible when traveling, our trips are probably not for you. Because the Canadian Rockies are just that - mountains in a chain of huge National Parks with weather changing constantly - sometimes pieces of the trip need to be moved around.
If something does change at the last minute, it’s only because a better opportunity came about, and we know it will only enhance the trip for you. As a couple that understands this area well, we promise to give you our best - and ONLY our best - to leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. We’re asking you to trust us on this journey, because we promise: It will be a trip to remember in all of the best ways.
