Mobile ticket

Choose from Two Fantastic Options & Travel Through a Wildlife Corridor!

1. MORNING TOUR 8 AM START–the most turquoise color -1.5 hours at EACH lake —enough time to explore, take a walk, or a even a short canoe ride (if the dock is not too busy), but not too long to be waiting around.

2. AFTERNOON/SUNSET GLOW TOUR—Experience the lakes at their quietest after the crowds have left. Enjoy golden light for 1 hour at each lake. This is the most tranquil time of day when Moraine Lake and Lake Louise truly shine. Many times we have Moraine Lake for ourselves!

BONUS: TRAVEL THROUGH A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR! Maybe we’ll spot The Boss, our famous grizzly! Rumor has it he’s been practicing his red carpet-walk!

A small group of max 14 guests

Spacious, high-roof van for enhanced comfort

Many pick up locations in Canmore, Banff, Harvie Heights

An expert guide sharing local stories + your personal paparazzi for a few shots!

    Pickup was on time and our guide Corey was great! Spending 1.5 hours at each lake was ideal. Most tours were only 1 hour each and that would’ve been too rushed.

  • Must-see sunset tour

    Beautiful views, knowledgeable guide, we even saw a bear! It had snowed the night before our tour and they provided us cleats for our shoes. I was pregnant at the time of the tour and I didn't feel like it was too long or physically too much for me to handle at all.

  • Amazing trip.
