What To Expect
Banff National Park
Start your day with Radventures’ premium, multi-award-winning and top-rated sunrise tour — a must for any Banff bucket list. Your adventure begins with an early pickup in Banff, where you’ll board our spacious, upscale vehicle featuring panoramic windows and plenty of legroom. Settle in and enjoy some extra sleep, or stay alert as we travel scenic backroads at first light — a time when bears, moose, elk, and other wildlife are often spotted starting their day. It’s a peaceful, beautiful ride that sets the tone for the unforgettable morning ahead.
Moraine Lake
Arrive before the crowds and big tour buses, with your certified expert local guide leading you safely by headlamp to a spectacular viewpoint, ready to witness the sunrise. Enjoy the tranquility of the Valley of the Ten Peaks in the distance as the first light illuminates the lake. Sip on complimentary hot drinks (coffee, tea, and cocoa) while soaking in the serenity. Your guide, expertly trained in photography, is happy to help you capture the perfect sunrise shots. Guests typically spend 1.5 to 2 hours here — plenty of time to take in the views and explore lakeside trails before the big buses arrive.

5.00This tour is definitely worth paying more than the other tours. Liam was an excellent host and we appreciated the smaller group and extra perks. We highly recommend this tour and Radventures if you want a custom experience. Cheers!

5.00Aaron, our guide was the best! He told us a lot about the area and what to expect. He made sure that everyone was having a good time and was awesome at taking photos. He gave us a choice to either spend the entire time at lake Louise or leave early and drive the scenic bow valley pkwy. back. We voted on the later and so glad we did. We saw an Elk and a mule deer close to the road. Thanks Aaron!
Wonderful experience

5.00This was a fantastic excursion. We had an early start to the day and whilst waiting for our bus we had the magnificent experience of witnessing a family of deer walking down the road near us. They were eating the flowers outside our hotel - Aspen Lodge. The views at Lake Moraine were stunning with the different colours of the lake due to the sun rising and also where the sun was shining on the mountains. Taylor, our guide was excellent and he provided some of his expert knowledge about the best places to watch and capture the sunrise, and he also made a wonderful hot chocolate drink. After we left Lake Moraine we travelled onto Lake Louise where we were able to walk alongside some of the lake which was lovely. However, on the way to Lake Louise we encountered 3 Grizzly Bears (mum and 2 cubs) eating all the berries getting ready for their hibernation period. Taylor did say that this was quite unusual to see the bears so close on this trip. Following our visit to both lakes we then went on to have our breakfast - we stopped at a café. The breakfast roll and muffin were lovely. We were then driven back to Banff and our hotel. We would highly recommend this tour. Taylor you were a superb guide.
Memorable tour and the best tour guide!

5.00We had a sunrise tour at Moraine Lake with Aaron as our guide, and we truly had the best day. Despite the early start, Aaron was chipper from the get go, which set the tone for a lovely tour where we felt very well taken care of and like we could ask anything we needed or wanted to know about Moraine Lake and the surrounding area. We also had a much needed hot drink pitstop upon arrival at Moraine Lake, with blankets if we needed them, before making our way to the viewing spots for the sunrise. Aaron took some gorgeous photos of us and other members of our group against the sunrise backdrop, politely asking others who had been hogging the good viewpoint spots if they would mind giving our group a bit of time to get good photos there. Everything went to schedule, the journey was very pleasant and enjoyable, with some lovely conversation throughout the minibus, taking the scenic route back to Banff via the Bow Valley Parkway, and it felt like our whole tour group reflected the vibe Aaron gave off, which made for one of the best tours of our two week trip in Canada. Thank you so much Aaron and Radventures for such a memorable penultimate day in Canada, and thanks for the laughs! Highly recommended!
Excellent!! Low stress for us and one of the most beautiful signts ever!

5.00This was a 10/10 experience! Our driver Flossie made the trip so easy - we just had to sit back and nap while she drove through the darkness to get us to one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen! Trip was totally worth it. Small group, and directions were very clear - would recommend!
Not to be missed!

5.00Our sunrise tour of Moraine Lake and Lake Louise with Nolan as our guide was extraordinary! Sunrise at Moraine Lake on top of the viewing “rock pile” was amazing. This was a true highlight and Nolan was an excellent guide!
