Maximize your mountain time to visit two world famous lakes: Lake Louise and Moraine Lake with 2.5 hour at each. Designed specifically for travellers staying in Banff who want a direct, stress-free path to Canada’s most famous landscapes. Lake Louise: our first destination is the “Jewel of the Canadian Rockies.” Lake Louise is a glacial lake within Banff National Park. The vivid turquoise waters of Lake Louise have earned it a worldwide reputation. What makes Moraine Lake additionally special is the fact that it can only be accessible for a brief time each year (only open from June to Oct 12th). Moraine Lake is the majesty of nature, this strikingly turquoise-blue Moraine Lake sits in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. We recommend the short walk up the Rockpile trail to see the view that once graced the Canadian $20 bill. With 2.5 hours at each lake, you have the freedom to explore at your own pace—perfect for photography, canoeing, or a peaceful moment by the water.

Chandra_C, Jul 2026

A Must Do Tour in Alberta

Our experience was absolutely breathtaking. A special thank you to our tour guide Heather. She was friendly , knowledgeable, and making the journey enjoyable with interesting stories and helpful tips. This was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Moraine Lake, Lake Louise and Banff. I would truly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the beauty of the Canadian Rockies!

Lake Louise Moraine Lake Day Trip from Banff Calgary Canmore

Jagbir_K, Jul 2026

A day well spent!

Our Lake Louise and Moraine Lake tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide, Lisa, was outstanding from start to finish. She kept us informed throughout the day and clearly explained the itinerary, including the adjustments that had to be made because of the Canada Day (July 1) celebrations. Lisa was incredibly organized, efficient, and knowledgeable. She knew exactly how to adapt the schedule to avoid the biggest crowds, which made our experience much more enjoyable. We spent more time taking in the breathtaking scenery instead of waiting in long lines. Everything was well planned, stress-free, and ran smoothly. It was truly a day well spent, and I highly recommend this tour—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Lisa as your guide!

Thank you Shaun!

Shaun was a wonderful driver & tour guide! He seemed very knowledgeable and experienced, and did a great job adapting despite there not being a tour guide present (which was not his fault). I appreciated his humour & friendliness as well! It was also very reasonably paced to see each of Lake Louise & Moraine Lake in 1h15 each. You wouldn’t be able to canoe or do any major hikes, but I found it a very reasonable amount of time to wander around, take in the views & take plenty of pictures.

Kenji!!! The best guide ever!!

Our experience was phenomenal, thanks for Kenji and Bella. We did a lot of similar tours and Kenji was one of the best guide ever!! He was very knowledgeable, engaging to every one in the tour including the kids. He was fun and respectful. I wish every tour guide was like him, funny and friendly. Bella was keeping us safe and very focused on the operation. The experience was amazing and highly recommended! Thank you both!

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.

Stress-Free Way to See Banff’s Highlights

We had an excellent experience on the 8-stop Banff tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It was by far the easiest way to see all of Banff’s must-see sights without having to worry about parking, shuttle reservations, navigating traffic, or dealing with crowds. The direct hotel pickup was incredibly convenient, and the van was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Our guide, Jack, was fantastic. He was a kind, personable young Aussie who kept the group laughing and made everyone feel welcome throughout the day. He was an excellent driver and shared interesting information without making it feel like a scripted tour. The weather forecast called for a gloomy day, but somehow Jack even managed to “will” the sun to come out, and we ended up with beautiful views for much of the trip. If you’re short on time or simply want a relaxing way to experience Banff’s highlights, this tour is well worth it. We saw so much in one day and never had to think about the logistics. We could simply enjoy the scenery.

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.

Sweet Caroline!!!

It was a fantastic experience!!! Our driver/guide Caroline was super amazing!! She was on time, very friendly, knows very well the area and she drove us safely to our destination the splendid jaw-dropping Moraine lake & lake Louise. Caroline is not only a driver but also an amazing photographer and a guide where she really took her time to walk me and my family to the beautiful spot and also she is a fantastic photographer she took beautiful pictures. And ohh! Caroline also gave sweets & water which really good for passengers. I highly recommend Caroline and will definitely book again Viator in my future tours and will recommend this to my friends. One more thing I also give credits to the Viator app and the communication/support because they reply so fast and easy to talk to. Thank you so much for making me & my family's trip stress free & hassle free. We are very satisfied!!!

Moraine Lake & Louise & Banff Day Tour From Calgary-Canmore-Banff

Johanna_C, Jun 2026

Practical way to see popular sites in and around Banff.

This was a great headache-free way to see some of the most popular nearby lakes. The main reason we did this and not drive there was because of the known parking difficulties and cost to park. We went in mid to late June and it is already pretty crowded at that point. Bow Falls was a bonus sight to see that we knew nothing about prior to coming. However our lunch of an hour and 15 minutes was spent in Banff but we were staying in Banff so for us it wasn't a bonus--but would be if you were staying in Canmore or somewhere outside of Banff. Still, Mark and the tour served our needs.

Banff Gondola Ride Admission

John_U, Jun 2026

Ride of a lifetime!!!

We rode the local transit there from downtown Banff. So much easier and cheaper than driving and parking there. We got there early and they let us change our ride time. Such a beautiful ride up. Smooth and relaxing! Since we arrived early for dinner reservations, we enjoyed the sights and the events held for Sunset Festival while waiting. Roasting marshmallows and listening to the solo musician was entertaining. The blankets and firepits were a nice touch. We didn't walk the boardwalk to the observation center, but many people were doing it. The Anniversary dinner we had at The Sky Bistro was fabulous. We sat next to the windows, being able to see the scenery during that time was something special. The drinks, Bison tenderloin and dessert were some of the best we have ever had. It was a bit pricey but worth it. The waitress we had was a sweet gal from Australia. She was fun to talk to as were the guests around us. The ride down the mountain was seamless, taking more pictures for memories. We viewed the pictures at the bottom that the Gondola company took of us and even though we didn't purchase any they were fun to look at. Wait time for the transit was minimal and we were back to our resort in short time. Great experience all the way around. We would highly recommend this for all ages going to Banff.

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.

It was a once in a lifetime experience! Do it! Their fleet of 21 trucks are specialized and only exist for public at this experience. We tried glacier water and filled a water bottle! We experienced rain and sunshine during our tour. The weather changed so quickly! It was really cool!
