This isn’t just another shuttle to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake—it’s a guided experience designed to deepen your connection to these iconic landscapes. This small-group morning tour offers guaranteed access without the stress, with a focus on connection—to nature, to place, and to a more relaxed style of travel. Travel the scenic Bow Valley Parkway and hear stories of the region from a local guide. At Lake Louise, take time to walk the shoreline and admire Victoria Glacier. Then, stand in awe of Moraine Lake’s vivid blue waters and the towering Ten Peaks, learning what makes this valley so special beyond the photos. Unlike larger operators or simple shuttle services, we offer a slower pace and a more meaningful experience.

5.00Great guide, comfortable transit vehicle, and 3 pm was a wonderful time of day to head out to visit the lakes because crowds were dropping off. The Discovery guide demonstrated much knowledge and had thorough answers to all my questions. She also took the time to point out the mighty but mini picas in their territory at Lake Moraine.

5.00A wonderful tour covering Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and parts of Banff National Park. Our brilliant tour guide, Jake, made this more of an adventure. Part historian, part outdoorsman, great comic relief and self proclaimed best looking tour guide in the Canadian Rockies, Jake really made this a day to remember. He shared so much history about the area and this great wilderness we all enjoyed. We were lucky enough to see a mother Grizzly Bear and her cubs eating berries on the side of the road to Moraine Lake. This 4 .5 hour tour is a perfect length. Sign up for the early tour to beat a lot of the crowds.
Excellent half day tour!

5.00Our driver and guide was great! He shared local info and was a good driver. He also had some good tips about both lakes and the best locations to view from. He was available to take photos and answer questions. I believe his name was Neil, I'm sorry if I got that wrong. I never do reviews till I return home and didn't have a business card from him.
