  We had an excellent time on the Lake Minnewanka Cruise! Our tour guide was amazing! Knowledgeable, engaging, and a great storyteller. It was a fun, relaxing day on the lake with perfect weather and stunning views. Getting tickets through Viator was easy, and transportation was smooth. We took the bus from downtown Banff, but there was plenty of parking available if you drive yourself. Highly recommend this experience when visiting Banff!

  

• Surrounded by incredible, astounding beauty!

  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.

  

• Great tour and beautiful views

  Well worth a visit as close to Banff. Staff made the excursion a 5 star experience Plenty of parking. A bit choppy on the water but fine.gives you a different perspective of the wilderness.

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

  My husband and I visited Banff for an anniversary trip. We booked the Lake Minnewanka cruise and it exceeded our expectations!!!! Kenji was our guide - he was AMAZING! Funny stories, informative facts about lake/locals/myths/history, and engaging with every guest! Ben our captain was cool too and very nice! The ride was an hour and we stopped int he middle of the lake - engine off, moment of silence for respect/appreciation of our surroundings. The sun was shining and it was just a totally perfect outing! MANY THANKS TO KENJI AND BENJI!!!! OHIO!

• Beautiful lake and comfortable ride

  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.
