5.00Olivia and John were awesome tour guides! Would definitely recommend taking the Lake Minnewanka cruise to learn a little about the lakes history!
Recommend, but do directly with cruise company, not viator

4.00Great experience and would recommend. However, as it says on viator, a pickup could be organized but despite contacting them 2 different ways, there was no response, thus we had to find our own way. Just book with the cruise company and avoid viator fee.
Great Cruise
