What To Expect
Lake Minnewanka
Lake Minnewanka Nestled just a short drive from Banff town, Lake Minnewanka—meaning “Water of the Spirits” in the Stoney Nakoda language—is the largest lake in Banff National Park. Surrounded by rugged mountains and rich forests, it offers breathtaking scenery and a deep connection to local Indigenous history. The lake stretches over 21 kilometers and is a popular spot for wildlife viewing, photography, and scenic walks. In summer, visitors can enjoy a boat cruise across its clear blue waters, while in winter, it becomes a peaceful haven framed by snow-dusted peaks. The area’s blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage makes Lake Minnewanka one of Banff’s must-see highlights.
Two Jack Lake
Two Jack Lake Just minutes from Banff, Two Jack Lake is a tranquil, turquoise gem surrounded by pine forests and mountain peaks. Its calm waters beautifully reflect Mount Rundle, making it one of the most photographed spots in the park. A favorite with locals and visitors alike, it’s a peaceful place for picnics, short walks, and wildlife watching. In summer, you’ll often see kayakers and paddleboarders gliding across the lake; in winter, it transforms into a quiet, snow-covered retreat. With its easy access and postcard-perfect views, Two Jack Lake is a must-stop on the scenic Lake Minnewanka Drive.

5.00Great access to both Lakes. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a ‘tour’ as there was a little bit of audio provided during the bus ride. But the majority of the activity was letting the tourists go out and check out the lakes at their own leisure.
What a great way to see Banff highlights

5.00Excellent experience the driver was safe and courteous. Everything was just perfect. Really much better to do this than to try to drive to the lakes yourself.
Awesome Experience
