Our gorgeous Lake Minnewanka tour added a dimension to merely viewing others like Lake Louise. Guide Kenji was personable, captivating, & informative. We seniors appreciate limited walking distance & having the scenery (not us) move tho kids aboard seemed pleased. Safety was emphasized on the well-maintained vessel. A highlight was stopping for a brief respite of total silence amid incredible beauty. Only flaw was not going farther on the lake. Being "shoulder season" provided ample parking by clean restrooms.

While the trip was enjoyable, I didn't realize how little of the lake would actually be seen. Was expecting more.

The lake is stunningly beautiful and the mountains are majestic The tour leader, Cat was very nice and friendly and she did her best given the large Asian group that joined us. They did not follow the rules, did not seat on their seats on the way back, went out the back in groups larger than 6 etc. Very rude people.

Beautiful quick trip, the tour guide was very knowledgable and kind. Sitting in the silence in the back country of Banff was wonderful
