We recently took a tour to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, and it was amazing! Our driver, Wee was fantastic. He was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing great insights about the area. The scenery at both lakes was breathtaking; the turquoise waters and stunning mountains took my breath away. Wee made sure we had enough time to explore and take photos. Overall, a well-organized tour that I highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience the beauty of the Canadian Rockies!

Canada is Beautiful - You must take this trip!
We just came back from Banff - and all I can say is Canada is Stunning.
Mike, our tour guide, was an awesome! Very knowledgeable - He has the passion and the love for the mountains. He was funny and made everyone at ease
The trip to Lake Louise was BREATH TAKING - No photo can capture the real beauty.
Marble Canyon was an ADVENTURE!
Bow Falls was calming but MAJESTIC
Even though we did not see Moraine Lake due to the weather - the whole trip was incredible and memorable.

Lake Louise & Banff excursion
Great trip! Our local guide Bob was part historian part comedian who did a great job of explaining everything and interacting with everyone. By the time the trip ended we all felt like we all friends due to him. Definitely a must if you want to see Lake Louise & Banff. All the locals I talked to after the trip said the trip covered the essentials. Highly recommend!

People Also Ask
What is the best month to go to Moraine Lake?
The best month to go to Moraine Lake is July, but any time from late June into early August is good. The Canadian summer offers warm days and clear weather—but also bigger crowds. Head there early in the morning to avoid some of the extra people; but no matter when you go, it's worth it.
Is it worth going to Moraine Lake?
Yes. Moraine Lake is one of the most beautiful places in Banff National Park. While it's incredibly crowded in summer, this is for good reason. The stunningly bright turquoise waters of the glacier-fed lake reflect the surrounding white snow-capped peaks for picture-perfect views.
How long do you need at Moraine Lake?
An hour or two at Moraine Lake can be enough to soak up the views. But if you want to embark on a moderate hike for a better vantage point or take a canoe out on the water, you'll have to allow for half a day or longer.
Do you need a Banff pass for Moraine Lake?
Moraine Lake is inside Banff National Park, which means you'll need to obtain a Canada National Parks Pass for visiting the lake—either a daily or annual pass. You'll also need to purchase a shuttle pass, as private vehicles are not permitted to access the lake.
Can you drive your car to Moraine Lake?
No, private vehicles are not permitted to access the lake as of 2023. The only way you can get to the lake is by booking a shuttle or bus or organized tour, all of which operate from May until October when the road is opened and cleared of snowfall.
Can I swim in Moraine Lake?
Yes, technically you can swim in Moraine Lake; however, as the water temperature hovers just above freezing, it's not recommended. But fear not—there are plenty of other ways to experience this pristine alpine lake, such as canoeing or hiking.
