What To Expect
Lake Louise
Lake Louise, an icon within Banff National Park, is known for its mesmerizing turquoise waters, framed by snow-capped peaks. In the winter, the lake transforms into an ice-skating wonderland, while summer offers endless outdoor adventures. It's an iconic destination where nature's beauty and year-round attractions come together in perfect harmony.
Moraine Lake
Nestled high in the Canadian Rockies and accessible from June 1st to October 15th, Moraine Lake is a true gem on your Banff adventure. This glacial lake is renowned for its vivid turquoise waters and the dramatic backdrop of the Valley of the Ten Peaks. In the warmer months, it mirrors the vibrant blue skies and lush forests, creating a breathtaking sight that you must experience. Moraine Lake is a must-see for its unparalleled beauty, and a visit during the open season will leave you spellbound by the pristine wilderness that surrounds it. (SUMMER)

5.00Had the best day with Rocky Mountain Trips on our private Banff tour! Huge thank you to our driver Luis for making the whole day so fun and easy from start to finish. This was actually my second tour with them and they were amazing both times. We booked a private tour for our group of 8 and they were even able to accommodate our 2 little dogs which made the trip even better. The itinerary was perfect: Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Lake Minnewanka and we had enough time at every stop to actually enjoy it without feeling rushed. Everything was super organized, comfortable, and stress free. Whether you’re looking for a private tour with your group or you’re a solo traveller booking a group tour, I’d 100% recommend them to anyone visiting the Rockies 😊
Amazing day!

Awesome Banff Tour

5.00This was an awesome tour. Our tour guide Angel was great. He picked us up on time in Canmore and kept us on time. He gave great information about Lake Louise, Moraine lake and all our other spots. He was very personable and also gave recommendations for lunch in Banff. At all the stops we had plenty of time to explore and take pictures. This is the tour to take if you want to see all the sights around Banff.
