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.

    This is one of the best tours I’ve done anywhere in the world. Laurie (our guide) was so lovely, knowledgeable and attentive. Lake Moraine was just breathtaking and we had the perfect amount of time to properly enjoy the sunrise, with blankets and hot beverages being offered to us in the van. When we got to Lake Louise, we were met by a grizzly bear, just roaming around, which was an unreal experience. The guides were paying ultimate attention to our safety. All in all, I’ll remember this day forever and I have only praise and kind words to say about this company and tour!

    Most breathtaking views! Highly recommend doing the sunrise tour for its beauty and lesser crowds (vs later morning or afternoon). The van picked me up down the street from my lodge. Nick our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable! We had 2 hours at each lake which was perfect.

    We are disappointed because the sunrise tour failed to deliver what was promised- we missed the sunrise entirely. The experience didn’t meet our expectations. We were picked up at 3.30am but didn’t arrive at Moraine Lake until around 5.30 am by which time the sky was already bright. We were told we could still see the sunrise and were directed to a viewing spot, where we waited for half an hour- but nothing happened. It is widely known that Moraine Lake is especially stunning at sunrise, and that was the main reason we paid extra and woke up so early. Even on a cloudy day, it’s usually possible to see the sun’s light filtering through the clouds and brightening the sky. Unfortunately due to the late arrival, we missed this key part of the experience. Given that the tour did not deliver the sunrise viewing as advertised, are we entitled to a refund for the extra cost we paid.

    Great experience with Nic! Was very informative and an amazing guide to the lakes. It was a rainy morning but it cleared up luckily and the lakes were beautiful. Appreciated that there were complimentary ponchos, umbrellas and blankets as well as hot drinks!
