Snowmobile Season Starts In Early December (maybe even late November)
We Love Winter At Paradise Basin And We Know You Will Too
When the snow arrives we will be open for the winter season and at Toby Creek Adventures that means snowmobiling. Check out our winter tours.
We are an award-winning snowmobile and ATV / UTV adventure tour company operating since 1996 at the western gateway to Kootenay and Banff National Parks in the Canadian Rockies.
Our ATV & UTV tours are perfect for all levels of experience, from complete beginners to advanced riders. They are an excellent and very memorable family outdoor activity. We provide all the gear, equipment and instruction you will need. You will experience an exhilarating tour through old-growth forest, incredible scenery and a spectacular alpine basin surrounded by soaring rock peaks. You will also visit the remains of a former gold and silver mine and relax by the fireplace in our alpine cabin.
This is the real Canadian experience of a lifetime, which you will remember always. Many of our guests tell us this experience was the highlight of their Canadian Rockies vacation. Our snowmobile and ATV tours are very popular and can fill up fast during peak periods. Please book early to avoid disappointment. We look forward to guiding your snowmobile adventure in our beautiful mountain playground.
Definite 5 star experience! The staff were excellent and knowledgeable, the trails were fun and the views were spectacular. I would definitely recommend it.

Loved my tour with Toby Creek Adventures today! Easy going staff also had good attention to detail: answered my questions and made me feel very comfortable. Good machines and we put them to good use! Fun and challenging trails. I did the 2 hour adventure: views and the waterfall were amazing. Highly recommend to anyone in the Panorama area.

Snowmobiling with these guys was awesome. Beautiful scenery the entire way up the mountain and a really friendly guide, “paint”.

This experience was EXACTLY what we were looking for. Traveling from the States we wanted to really be immersed into the mountains with plenty adventure at the same time. We did the all day snow mobile trip which was worth every penny. I recommend you do the all day trip vs. the half because there is simply too much too see in the shorter trip. They broke the trip up perfectly by providing stops for bathroom, cookies and hot chocolate at the top of the mountain and lunch. It was an AMAZING experience. Perfect for an adrenaline junkie or someone more conservative. The workers make sure you feel safe and are informed every step of the way. Felix was our guide for the day and he was AWESOME!

I have never ridden a snow mobile before. The tour guides were the best, made sure we were well equipped and gave us a quick tutorial as well. It is totally worth the money to do this tour. It consists of being picked up from Banff driving about 1 and half ours to Invemere and then riding up the mountains to the cutest cabin where we had snacks, this followed another ride to play areas where we were free to ride all over the hills we were told to. They also provided a BBQ lunch. The feel felt very much like a trip with family, rather than stranger. They provide good equipment as well including boots, goggles, suits and helmets. Also the tour guides are experts with things like mountain ride safety and overall safety, so you’re in good hands while going on trails. That being said, as long as you are not doing any crazy tricks and listen to the instructor you should be good. Tip the tour guides, they truly are the best and are always making sure your enjoying and having fun

I have been on a few different snowmobile trips but this by far is the best one I have done! The tour guide Smitty was amazing and took great care of the group! The route they take you is breathtaking, where this is better than others I have done is that when you get to the mountain top you get some free roaming time where you can drive at your own comfort level and open up the snowmobile to full speed 🙂 so much fun! Great price when compared to others and the hot chocolate and cookie stop at the mine is incredible! Will definitely recommend and come back for more!!!

These guys are awesome! Very well run and organized company. We did the powder x tour and our guide Jose made sure we were safe, comfortable, having fun and even taught us some new skills. Would definitely recommend and take this tour again. I was very impressed at the level of safety, knowledge and organization this company has especially as it comes to monitoring snow conditions. Can’t wait to come back for another tour summer or winter, you guys rock! Go here, you won’t regret it.

We did the snow mobiling adventure and absolutely loved it. Blake was our tour guide and was super awesome. He was very attentive to everyone in the group and made sure we had everything we needed. The bus was on time to our hotel and the driver even explained different things to us as we drove by. I’ve done this before with other companies and they shove 25 people in a line, which can be chaotic. These guys had us in smaller groups, which made the experience much smoother. Will definitely be back in the summer time for the ATV trip.

We had a great time on our first ATV tour at Toby Creek (Paradise Mine Tour)! Our professional and friendly tour lead, Paint, trained us to for 15 minutes at the base area then the adventure started. (Good job Paint!)We booked for 1:30 pm tour, but the previous group arrived around 1:45 pm and we started our tour around 2 pm and ended on 5:30. Paradise Mine tour is a little bit pricy ($450 CAD for a driver and a passenger).The ATV and equipment were great. They give you enough time to get comfortable with your gear and your vehicle.We had a couple stops in our way to Paradise mine to stretch our legs and enjoy the mountain views. Smith Falls is one of the stops with a breathtaking view. We visited the remains of an early mine. We had a chance to see a group of beautiful deer when we were drinking coffee and cookies at alpine cabin close to remains of the mine. Fantastic day!

We had an awesome time 4 wheeling in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The 4Hour tour was filled with great views, plenty of mud holes, and lunch was provided. Riding to the top of the mountain and experiencing that view is something I will never forget. I highly recommend TobyCreek!!!

We did the 4 hour Paradise Mine ATV tour in a four person side by side with Blake and it was absolutely awesome, it exceeded our expectations and our family had a blast. Beautiful views and lots of fun on the trails. Blake was a great knowledgeable guide that made sure we all had fun. Well worth it!

NI have never gonna riding on an ATV and this was amazing. Our guide was very informative. And he was always checking in us throughout the ride. Deffiently worth the money. I can’t wait to come back in September and do it all over again. Our guide told us he would take us to 9000 feet in September. It’s gonna be even more awesome then the trip we just did. We saw some bears on our ride. And he took us to a waterfall. I loved how he took us the long way back to camp Instead of straight back.

Fantastic day guided by Jose. Snow didn’t come to base level as mid April but we got buggy ride 3km up and lots if snow high up. Great fun especially the park area where we get left to drive around on our own inside the boundary lines. Highly recommended.

My best experience in Banff, snowmobiling up a mountain to a little cabin enjoying a hot lunch/ drinks, I have only been on a snowmobile a few times in my life and after this experience I come out feeling like an advanced rider what a great time, highly recommended to any experience level. An amazing team and well organized. 5+!

The folks at Toby Creek were great, the equipment they provide for riding and the gear are all top notch. The guides not only know how to ride and keep tabs on everyone in the group, but they also make a mean hamburger or sausage for lunch.

A really awesome experience where you start off learning how to drive the sleds before going up the mountain into a large bowl. You also stop for cookies and coffee along the way and have a lunch later on. The best part by far was getting to freely ride on the snowmobiles, but the basic experience is definitely for beginners as the sleds are big, bulky, and not meant for jumping. They do have a sport mode on them that seems to make them more reactive so be sure to turn that on, but unfortunately I did not realize that until the end of the tour. You also get to stop by an ice water full on the way down which is pretty cool. Overall a really great experience for a beginner.

Things got started a little late but our guide Paint was really great. The views all the way up the old minning road were breathtaking with deep snow all around thick on every branch. The ice falls were big and icy blue. Beautiful! The staff and doggies at the office were very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our day!:)

This was the best thing to do on a chilly (snow shower-y) day. Our tour guide, Tyson, was awesome! Super knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. We did the paradise ridge full day trip. The views are spectacular, you get to ride on varied terrain (up the ridge, around the bowl, up the road, through puddles, snow, etc.). The speed of the tour was great (not too slow, but you didn’t feel like you had to keep up either). The cabin was so cozy and had the most incredible views. The food and hot drinks were great. Jackets, helmets, gloves and boots were provided. The free shuttle to and from Canmore was a godsend and the driver, Heber, was incredibly nice, knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Highly recommend!

Second time on the ATV tour. It is always the highlight of our trip out to the Columbia Valley. Everything else is good. This ATV tour will give you many different looks over the area. I would recommend the full day Paradise trip that covers the mine, the ridge at the top, streams and waterfall, the bowl areas and the overall trip. The guides are great to go with. Friendly and knowledgeable guides customize it to your group going. Check-in staff was great as well.( I believe this was the owner. Who also we ran in at the local store at Panorama and asked how our tour was. Some people say it is pricey to go. It is worth every cent. We always leave it to the last of our 7 days here as well, everything else is good, nothing compares to Toby Creek Adventures!!!!!!!!

We booked a full day tour – Paradise Ridge. It says 4 – 4.5 hours, but we we’re out much longer. This sort of activity can and does get very expensive, we booked a four seater side by side UTV which kept costs down but as my wife and daughters wouldn’t drive this suited us perfectly and I had loads of fun, possibly more than on a quad. They were primarily driven in two wheel drive mode and they coped very well with the terrain and I was easily able to keep up with the lead quads. Once switched into four wheel drive mode for the very muddy wet bits they changed characteristics, you could really feel the front wheels biting and dragging you around corners. Overall a fantastic day out and our guide (Paint) was very good as well, and he cooked a great BBQ too.

This was an amazing experience. I was smiling like a crazy person underneath my helmet the whole time. They provide everything you need, except for gloves. All high quality and super cool looking gear. The snowmobile’s are surprisingly easy to learn. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable but didn’t baby us at all. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Canada or just looking to try something new!

My spouse and I had our own sleds. The trail was beautiful. The views on the mountain were breathtaking. Our guide was amazing! We chose the half day option. Which did not include food. But the group that made it to the cabin before is did not eat all of their food, so we were offered burgers as Well, at no extra charge. We definitely will be doing this one again! Maybe in the summer, with quads. Great job Toby Creek Adventures!

Absolutely fantastic full-day tour. Mark was a friendly, fun, and knowledgeable guide, and did a great job giving instructions to the riders in our group. I really loved the ‘base camp’ cabin for the snacks and lunch high up the mountain, and we had plenty of time to play around on our own in the basin too.

Great day out. They provide you with all the gear you need. The group is kept together at a reasonable pace along the trail to the top, but I enjoyed the free time in the powder bowl the most, where you can go as fast as you want. The views are beautiful and there is a snack break and a BBQ lunch provided with the full day tour. Guide was great ( I think his name was Mark) and the stop to see the frozen waterfall was pretty cool as well. I really enjoyed the tour.

Extremely caring and friendly group of people. Lots of shout outs from tour guides heading up and down. Big thank you to Scott Barsby, Owner, who kindly offered me a ride to the cabin after a long day of hiking. Most definitely recommend this company and its tours. The views from the cabin are spectacular. Plan to go back and complete the ridge and summit. Thank you for maintaining this amazing place for others to enjoy.

We went snowmobiling with Mark and it was awesome! He clearly explained all the controls on how to use the snowmobile and all the safety precautions. Amazing sightseeing you couldn’t do any other way but with a snowmobile. Thanks for a great experience, Mark! Would definitely recommend.
