See a whole new side of Moraine Lake—peaceful, uncrowded, and lit by the beauty of sunset and the stars. This evening adventure takes you beyond the typical daytime experience, combining stunning landscapes, wildlife viewing, and one of the best stargazing spots in Banff National Park.

Your journey begins along the Bow Valley Parkway, with chances of spotting wildlife, and a stop at Morant’s Curve. Take a guided walk along the lakeshore trail and soak in the quiet beauty of the lake as the surrounding peaks glow in warm sunset colors. Then, we’ll make our way up to the rockpile for the best panoramic views as the sky transitions from day to night.

With minimal light pollution, Moraine Lake offers incredible stargazing. We’ll use telescopes and binoculars to get a closer look at planets, constellations, and even the northern lights if conditions are right.

If you want to escape the crowds and enjoy Moraine Lake in a way most visitors never do, this tour is for you.

    Absolutely breathtaking experience! Best tour I have ever done. Me and my best friend went together for this incredible experience. Laura our tour guide was very informative and so friendly and welcoming right from the start. Everyone on the trip was very friendly and like-minded and we left the trip feeling like we had the time of a lifetime with some friends. Can't thank Laura enough for how accommodating she was, from hot drinks to all the equipment for hiking and stargazing. Thank you so much! Would definitely do this all over again in a heartbeat

    Much more than just a stargazing experience. Tobias picked us up and took us on an excursion through Banff and lake Moraine. The vehicles are very clean and comfortable. Many things are offered such as hot beverage, head lamp, and walking sticks. Tobias was very helpfull in getting the perfect pictures, telling where to position yourself and camera.He was very informative and witty. If we could be guaranteed Tobias as our guide we would book every excursion "Into the wild" has to offer.

    This was a well-organized trip with extra supplies provided, as needed. Our guide, Laura, gave us a ton of information about things to do, Animals, and info about the history of the area.

    Laura was a FANTASTIC tour guide. She was the best we had through our whole stay in Banff. The sunset at the lake was amazing and the knowledge of the stars was great. I would save bringing a blanket or cushion to lay on would be helpful as looking up from a seated position is hard on the next.
