Columbia glacier/Skywalk experiences

Plan on an extra 15 mins or so to find parking in the lot. It’s a popular experience, and so worth the drive! The mountains, valleys, waterfalls and lakes to and from the Columbia building are AWEsome! Both the glacier experience and the skywalk are incredible!

Stunning

The entire tour from start to finish was about 10 hours. We went to multiple places that were all incredibly wonderful. It was a tour of a lifetime and definitely worth it. Our Tour guide, Lori, was absolutely fantastic and put in so much effort to make sure we had the best time. I’ve never imagined so many beautiful places could exist in this world and it was definitely worth every minute. With some multiple glaciers, Lake Marine, we were able to see a mother bear and her cub, and bighorn Rams. went to Lake Louise, And Bow Lake which was absolutely incredibly stunning.

Lake Louise Moraine Lake Day Trip from Banff Calgary Canmore

Philip_F, Jun 2026

Great guide and driver

Great trip thanks to lovely guide Lisa and our chatty and informative driver. Sorry didn't catch his name. The sights were wonderful and we certainly saw much more than had we set out on our own. Unfortunately the trip was marred slightly by a family at the back of the bus arguing about park entrance fees and being rude to our guide Lisa. Lisa also made perfectly clear return times to the bus and after each stop this same family kept everyone waiting by being late back. Lisa remained polite and proffesional throughout but unfortunatly they nearly reduced her to tears with their lebel of obnoxiousness. Well done Lisa, keep up the good work and never let the bullies win.

Our guide made every...

Our guide made every effort to make sure that we enjoyed the experience. He was informative and made sure that we knew what was available at both stops. Even though we had rain/sleet at Moraine Lake he handed out umbrellas to anyone who didn’t have one and pointed out the way to the coffee shop 🤣. Both lakes were beautiful rain or shine.

Banff Gondola Ride Admission

Leeta_S, Jun 2026

Beautiful views from the top!

Amazing views from the top of Sulpher Mountain! Check different websites for pricing. We found it varies a lot! The day we were there adults were $100 for walk-up tickets. We bought ours online for $68 from VIATOR. The ride up was fun! You can see bears some times as well! It beautiful going up but after you are on top… WOW! 360 degrees of beautiful! We enjoyed snacks from the coffee/bakery. There is also a fire pit that felt great and benches to take in the view! It can get very windy so it’s nice to have a jacket! There are wooden stairs that you can take to a higher level that holds a weather station. The only part we did not understand was we had a time to go on the gondola and a time to come down. Our time to go up was 1:30 and to go down was 2:50. I think it helps to know that before you go. There are a couple of restaurants at the top but I would suggest reservations.

Nice, easy trip up to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake

We were staying down in Banff and wanted to make sure we saw Lake Louise and Moraine Lake while we were visiting. I could not get a seat on the Parks Canada shuttle so this is the next best thing! Our guide - Louis - was very informative and helpful and helped make the 45 minute ride up and back go quickly!

Spirit of the Water Boat Cruise!

Our Minnewanka Lake cruise was mid June. It was still pretty chilly and it rained every other minute. Capt Matt was excellent—we made it back to shore! 😂. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and personable—he had a great sense of humor and was full of historical facts about the Spirit of the Water. How wonderful to be on that beautiful water and to be able to enjoy the mountains!

Craig_B, Jun 2026

Awesome views. Layse, our guide, was terrific.

The sightseeing spots chosen for this trip were perfect. It’s a long day but didn’t feel overwhelming. So glad we did this! Our guide was pleasant and informative. Wish we had a bit more time at Lake Louise and Moraine lake—only 45 minutes but the tour described it as having one hour at each.

Banff/ Yoho tour

Our driver Assisi was excellent and helped out getting us to the gondola while the group went to Banff townsite. Our previous tour canceled about 12 hrs earlier and left us in the lurch. He made sure that we knew how to get back to Canmore from the gondola $3 / person . The stops were great!
