Stargazing Tour - Kananaskis After Dark

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with KO! We were booked for the Stargazing Snowshoe tour, but there was no snow and no stars, as it was a cloudy night. Tegan (sorry, not sure how to spell that) and Chris were fantastic hosts and guides! They accommodated for a delay we had in arrival, and adapted seamlessly to the conditions that were not exactly what we booked for. We enjoyed their knowledge and enthusiasm for the outdoors, and would highly recommend a tour with KO!!

My wife and I had a great time. First time snowshoeing at night. It was fun and educational even though it was cloudy and couldn’t see the stars. Guide was wonderful. Glad we did tour.

I went with my girl friend and we both absolutely loved it. We were provided with the snow shoes and head lamps. Walking in snow shoes isn't a piece of cake. It takes some effort and if you have knee issues, just be a little more cautious. The guide was very knowledgeable, efficient and fun. She told us about many trees and survival techniques, which I always appreciate. However the forecast was cloudy due to which we did not see a single star. That was quite disappointing as the tour was "stargazing". I personally feel that it should have been rescheduled to a different date. We drove all the way there, away from the busy bright cities, to see stars and couldn't. But the guide did all she could to still show us the constellations with her laser torch and told stories. We also got tea and cookies. I would recommend to take a hiking pole with you as it can get a little steep in some areas. I wore a tuque, a scarf, warm socks, winter boots, a pair of gloves, an inner layer, a middle layer and a breathable jacket and it was perfect. I was warm while I was walking but these are necessary for when we stop and take breaks. I took a backpack with a water bottle. Overall I say it was worth it. Would do it again but this time, hopefully will see stars (Fingers crossed)
