Rise and shine for the ultimate sunrise adventure! We’ll whisk you away to Moraine Lake before dawn, where you’ll witness a breathtaking sunrise over the Canadian Rockies—without the crowds. Stay cozy with a hot drink and blanket as your guide shares tips on how best to take in the sunrise and leads you to the best viewpoints.
Then, continue your journey to the iconic Lake Louise. Stroll along the shoreline, hike to a scenic lookout, admire the grandeur of the Fairmont Château Lake Louise, or simply soak in the beauty of this world-famous lake. With plenty of time at both destinations, this tour is the perfect way to experience two of Banff National Park’s most iconic gems in one unforgettable morning.

Laurie was awesome, very knowledgeable. I was impressed with this company from the start with how well and responsive they were with communication and with questions prior to our tour date. Then they even went way above expectations when our arrival time got delayed and would have only given us a few hours of sleep before the start of our sunrise tour. Into the Wild Tour responded quickly and rescheduled us for the next day. The tour guide Laurie sent a text to follow up and make sure all was well and make sure we were set for our tour.
