ADVENTURE WITH PURPOSE IN BANFF & THE CANADIAN ROCKIES
Radventures is Banff and the Canadian Rockies’ top-rated adventure company, trusted by tens of thousands of explorers since 2020. We specialize in premium day tours, multi-day adventures, and company outings for those looking to escape the ordinary.
But we’re more than just a tour operator. We’re a community of passionate guides, storytellers, and local experts who believe adventure should be immersive, purposeful, and guest-focused—without sacrificing comfort.
Our small-group approach ensures every experience feels personal and connected. With fewer guests per tour, you’ll enjoy greater flexibility, exclusive access to hidden gems, and the chance to form genuine connections with fellow travelers. It’s no surprise that most strangers finish a Radventures experience as friends.
Radventures began in 2020, but the story really started back in 2009, when founder Dale Schober first laid eyes on the towering peaks and neon blue lakes of Banff National Park. It was love at first sight.
“Radventures was born from a simple desire: to relive the magic of seeing Banff and the Canadian Rockies for the first time through the eyes of others, again and again.There’s nothing quite like watching someone round that bend at Moraine Lake for the first time, or spot their first wild bear, their expression mirroring the same wonder that captured my heart and soul years ago.
What’s remarkable is that even after my adventures have since taken me to 70+ countries across six continents, I’ve never questioned my decision to trade Australia’s sun-soaked beaches for these rugged mountain peaks and emerald lakes. Banff isn’t just a destination I chose—it’s the place that chose me.
What drives me every day is facilitating those unforgettable moments that become some of your fondest memories—the ones you can’t plan for. A moose appearing silently at dawn by an alpine lake, the afternoon light hitting the glaciers in that perfect way, or the hidden trails where even in peak season, you might be the only soul for miles. These are the experiences that transformed me from visitor to local, and these are the moments I can’t wait to help you discover.”
— Dale Schober, Founder & CEO
What began as a man and his van operation quickly grew, fueled by Dale’s passion for showcasing the best of the Rockies while upholding sustainable practices and a commitment to community. Today, Radventures is a multi-award-winning operator, offering everything from half-day escapes to multi-day journeys in both Canada and abroad.
You deserve nothing less than the best, and thousands of travelers agree. As Banff and the Canadian Rockies’ top-rated tour operator, our consistent 5-star ratings on TripAdvisor and Google reflect the experiences we craft daily. When guests describe their day with us as “the highlight of our entire vacation” we know we’re fulfilling our promise to deliver exceptional experiences.
Our three-peat TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards (2022, 2023 & 2024) place us among the top 10% of tour & activity operators worldwide—recognition that comes from delivering moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
When was the last time you felt like more than just a number on a group tour?
We’re the only operator in the region that truly priortizes quality over quantity, and unlike others, we do away with the scripts and the rinse-and-repeat, one-size-fits-all cookie-cutter approach to tour itineraries. With our legitimately small group experiences, we create space for real connection—learning what lights you up and what you’re hoping to discover on your Canadian Rockies adventure.
While we guarantee you’ll tick off all the bucket list items on the day’s itinerary, this intimacy gives us the freedom to deviate from the plan when opportunity knocks. Your guide knows of a spot where a bear and her cubs have been recently sighted and can be safely viewed from a distance? Perhaps the time of year means there are perfect photography conditions at an off-the-beaten-path viewpoint? Your guide can pivot in real-time, reading the day’s unique conditions and your group’s energy to create something that feels less like a rigid, scheduled tour and more like exploration with a good friend who knows the area like the back of their hand.
You’ll feel it from the moment you step into our upscale tour vehicle—this is as much about the journey as it is each bucket list destination we’ll visit. Every vista, trail, and encounter is an opportunity to deepen your connection with the beauty of the Canadian Rockies and understand why they captivate everyone who visits. Through our 1% for the Planet membership, in 2024 alone we proudly supported Protect Our Winters, Leave No Trace, and the HOWL Experience—organizations that safeguard the wild places that transform your journey and inspire future generations of adventurers and changemakers. Your adventure creates ripples of positive impact, supporting conservation efforts and communities that protect these wild places.
The difference between seeing a place and truly experiencing it often comes down to who’s showing you around. Our guides aren’t reading from scripts—they’re sharing their backyard, their favorite hidden viewpoints, and stories of local legends and Indigenous history that bring the Rockies to life. We know the history behind the landscapes, the tales passed down through generations, and the best spots to escape the crowds. It’s this deep-rooted local knowledge that transforms a tour into an unforgettable experience.
Adventure doesn’t have to leave you exhausted and uncomfortable. Whether you’re watching first light break over Moraine Lake or traversing the Icefields Parkway, you’ll travel in premium vehicles with thoughtful touches that elevate your experience—from carefully selected local picnic meals to warm blankets for those crisp mountain mornings. For multi-day journeys, we’ve personally vetted every accommodation to ensure your downtime is as remarkable as your exploration.
The wild places that move you today should remain pristine for future adventurers. As 1% for the Planet members, we donate 1% of our annual revenue toward conservation efforts of both our local environment and the greater global climate. You won’t find single-use plastics on our tours, and you’ll learn practical ways to travel more lightly on the land. Our journey toward B Corp certification by 2030 reflects our belief that business can be a force for good in the world we love to explore.
The unpredictable mountain weather here has taught us that flexibility isn’t just nice—it’s necessary. That’s why we offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before your adventure begins and easy rescheduling options. Book with confidence knowing that your Canadian Rockies adventure awaits—on your terms.
