I stumbled across the office for Alpine Air and popped in to see what they had to offer.
The guys could not have been more friendly, personable and professional. They humoured me asking a million questions and steered me both away from things that I wasn’t able to do and helped me find a suitable activity. They never pushed a sale which I found reassuring.
The day before my booked ice climbing I injured myself and emailed them to advise. Once again, they was beyond helpful with advice on where to go to get medical help in Banff.
I am so grateful for your kindness and help Richard and will be back!

The guiding was poor to the point of being unsafe. The hike the guide chose was not any of the ones advertised and was significantly longer and steeper. We explained that we had a recent injury and the guide completely disregarded it. We happily would have skipped the hike and hung out at the lake if the guide had been realistic about the hike, but he provided an inaccurate description of the trail and we ended up going on a hike that exacerbated the injury. The guide also provided no guide services other than walking at the head of the trail. He didn’t describe the terrain, flora, wildlife, etc. The destinations, of course, are beautiful, but that has nothing to do with the company. Our experience was that this guide company was irresponsible and the trip was not as advertised.

We cannot speak highly enough of this tour. The number of places that we visited, the perfect amount of time at each and our driver Nazmul, was so knowledgeable about the area and the science of winter!
We wholeheartedly recommend this adventure.

We did a private guided hike in Lake O’Hara and I highly recommend the experience if you are considering it! Our guides name was Peter and he was excellent. He made us feel safe and also informed us of how to handle every element during our hike - animals, nature, and weather. If you are lucky enough to get Peter, you will be in great hands!

This hike had some challenging sections for us, a family of five, ages 13 up to 62 years old. Other parts of the hike were relatively easy. A nice mix. One of us is very afraid of heights, and chose this hike as a goal to achieve, to reach one or two of the Sulfur Mountain peaks. Amongst us were varying levels of fitness and heights (5’1” up to 6’7”). The day before our trek, we emailed Alpine Air Adventures about being a bit nervous and both the owner, Jeff and our guide, Chris, got back to us within the hour. They explained choices, like not having to complete all of the peaks on the hike. As well, in their reply, supports were offered for any part of the trek, like our guide letting us use a mountain climbing harness, hooking us up to a locking carabiner and mountain rope, while they slowly let the rope out, to help climb down any stretches we felt a little uncomfortable with, along with very supportive guidance. We chose to do only 2 peaks, and some of us did take advantage of the extra mountain climbing equipment the guide brought, in a couple of very short sections. The supports, guidance and ongoing conversation had us all feeling very safe and more confident as time went on. Our guide Chris, is extremely experienced, both a mountaineer and rock climber, with decades of experience. We would recommend this hike, as safety, accommodation, support and comfort were provided throughout. Our group member who is very scared of heights, was really pleased to have achieved their goal, and felt really glad they had done the hike, because of Alpine Air Adventures approach to meeting all our needs and differing abilities. What a great adventure!!! Thank you, Chris, for a great day!

Did the rock masters course with Sasha. I learned a ton about trad and multi pitch rope systems, Sasha went above and beyond by tailoring
the course to fit my personal alpine climing goals and provided additional information resources for multiple personal objectives. Always a good investment to learn best up to date practices to stay safe on solo objectives.

We are experienced hikers who decided to go on a guided hike for ease, adventure, and potentially to meet some friendly people. Laura was an excellent guide, and everyone in the group got on great. But, overall, I don't know that the views of this hike are any more spectacular than other hikes you might experience in Banff. The only reason I say that is because there is a section of trail that several people would, and should, find intimidating. The path narrows down to the width of your shoe (yes, one shoe), and eventually, you have to turn with your belly against the rocks and shuffle your way across an exposed rock face. As you near the end of this section, there is a large rock you need to maneuver around, again, with very minimal footing. And absolutely nothing is protecting you from a fall. So the "family-friendly" description of this hike is up for debate. Unfortunately, two people in our group felt this exceeded their comfort level and had to stay back while we moved on. The only other note I would add is for the admin team who sends the details out to the hikers. If/when plans change, it is probably best to call with the updated info. When people are traveling to their destination, email might not be the most efficient way to communicate.
I wrote this review to give hikers a realistic expectation of the hike, not to discourage anyone from going. We felt the original description lacked this detail, and honestly, if any of us had known this, we wouldn't have picked this hike. However, if you are less risk-averse and love a challenge, the guides will ensure you have a great experience.

We hiked Lake O’Hara with Andrew. He did an amazing job taking us to places we wouldn’t have went. This was the first time we went on a guided hike and would definitely do it again. We learned things about the area, and hiking. This was my parents first time in the Canadian Rockies, and the whole group had a great time! Definitely recommend this experience and Andrew as a guide!

I forgot the name of the driver but he was very nice to come back for us at Lake Louise Inn to pick us up to go to Lake Moraine. He was very approachable. The company was great to work with when it comes to communication.
