Stunning Lakes and Nature

This is an iconic 11.5 hour day seeing the most beautiful lakes in Banff National Park! We also hiked to waterfalls and to see glaciers. Our Indian guide was great (I forgot his name-sorry)and gave us a wonderful experience throughout the day. It was much better to leave the driving to him and have no worries about parking! We had a great group of 12 from the UK, Filippines, Australia and the USA.

Dave_W, Jul 2026

Great way to see the sights without the worry of parking.

This was an airport type shuttle bus (about 25 people) that was comfortable. Even though we had 1 hour to walk around freely at the 2 lakes it didn’t seem like enough time. The stop after the 2 lakes was Banff downtown and was enough time to get something to eat and do some light souvenir shopping. Our driver was very chill and provided a lot of interesting info about each area. The views were fantastic and we even saw a bear.

Stunning Scenery & Wildlife

Our guide Robbie made it a memorable day with his anecdotes and stories along with his knowledge of the places we visited. The scenery was stunning from the outset to the highlight of the day with the stunning view from our high vantage point over Payto lake at the Parkway Icefield. We also saw lots of wildlife during the day, Elk, Eagles, Mountain Goats, Chipmunks and a Mother Grizzly bear and her cubs.

Great and easy time!

We had Lisa as our tour coordinator, and she was very informative and had lots of fun stories about the sights we saw! She also gave us ample time to view the lakes, and helped take photos. Booking this tour was amazing as they took care of everything for us!

Moraine Lake

If you really want to go to Moraine and see that breathtaking view, this is an easy way ( it is pretty much impossibleto get the cheaperoptions now). Easy to book, and the driver was very kind and nice. You will pay more money, but it's worth it; there won't be any regrets when you see the beauty of the lake.

Lake Minnewanka Cruise

Nancy_B, Jun 2026

Really enjoyed the boat...

Really enjoyed the boat ride, especially since we were on a smaller boat, not a large tourist boat. Our naturalist was very dynamic and a wealth of information. Since it was clam waters, they turned off the engines when we got to the back country and had us all be still for a minute just to hear the stillness.

An awesome trip!

We had a wonderful tour covering Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, and Natural Bridge. Ahmad was an engaging guide who kept the journey interesting with lots of fascinating facts and local information throughout the day. The itinerary felt a little rushed at times, and we would have loved a bit more time at each stop, but that’s understandable given how much was covered. Overall, it was a well-organized experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Canadian Rockies.

Be aware that Viator is a...

Be aware that Viator is a booking service and NOT the actual van/bus that will drive you to the lake. The actual bus that picked us up was not luxury as described in the ad, but rather a school bus with more comfortable seats. Driver was great! Friendly, gave good instructions and info. Ride was good and scenery was outstanding! Price was a little too much given it was an old school bus. Instructions from Viator were not clear and we kept having to ask all the different bus drivers if that was our bus. They should send u the name of the actual bus service. But overall a good experience.

great option for seeing 2 beautiful places

great tour - made seeing the two beautiful places easy, fun and informative. Got to just go along for the journey and enjoy without thinking about parking, passes or anything. Our guide Kimmie (not sure how she spells it!) was funny, had plenty of snacks and took great pics.

Good tour

Good experience. The guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky with an early sighting of a bear. Lots of long-horn sheep. And towards the end some elf from a distance and deer. The stopping spots and views were good regardless of whether we saw animals in all locations or not. I'd recommend taking the tour.

Views that you will not want to miss!

A wonderful tour covering Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and parts of Banff National Park. Our brilliant tour guide, Jake, made this more of an adventure. Part historian, part outdoorsman, great comic relief and self proclaimed best looking tour guide in the Canadian Rockies, Jake really made this a day to remember. He shared so much history about the area and this great wilderness we all enjoyed. We were lucky enough to see a mother Grizzly Bear and her cubs eating berries on the side of the road to Moraine Lake. This 4 .5 hour tour is a perfect length. Sign up for the early tour to beat a lot of the crowds.
