45 minutesFree Cancellation

Maximize your mountain time to visit two world famous lakes: Lake Louise and Moraine Lake with 75 min 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 75 min at each lake, you have the freedom to explore at your own pace—perfect for photography, canoeing, or a peaceful moment by the water.

Discover the natural wonders just beyond Canmore and Banff, where every stop offers a new story and unforgettable views. The journey begins with Grassi Lake, a hidden gem tucked in the forest. In the warmer months, its crystal-clear turquoise waters sparkle under the sun, while in winter, the lake transforms into a quiet frozen scene, surrounded by snow-dusted evergreens and dramatic mountain peaks. Nearby, Grotto Canyon offers a completely different kind of adventure — walk through towering rock walls where ancient pictographs still whisper stories of the past.

What are people saying about Banff

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

Lee_F, Oct 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mark made our Banff tour unforgettable!

We had an amazing day exploring Banff with Mark as our tour guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the Rockies. From the moment we started, he kept the day organized, fun, and relaxed while sharing great stories and local insight about the places we visited. Lake Louise was absolutely stunning, and Mark made sure we had enough time to enjoy the turquoise water and take photos without feeling rushed. Marble Canyon was a highlight too—the canyon views and rushing water were incredible, and Mark helped us make the most of the stop. He also took us to Surprise Corner for that classic postcard view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, then to Bow Falls, where we got some beautiful photos by the Bow River. Mark was patient, easy to talk to, and attentive to everyone in the group. He knew the best spots for pictures, kept the schedule running smoothly, and made the whole experience feel personal rather than just another sightseeing tour. If you’re visiting Banff, ask for Mark—he’ll show you the highlights and make sure you leave with great memories and even better photos. Highly recommended!

Melissa’s unmistakably great experience! (Pun intended!)

Our tour guide was Joshua and he was energetic, knowledgeable, timely, friendly, and interactive with the entire group! I recommend eating or taking breakfast with you or maybe a couple of snacks and a water bottle for the day. The lunch stop was close to 2:00. Since Moraine Lake was closed this time of year, we did a short hike (about 45min round trip) at Marble Canyon, which was my favorite part of the day. I recommend dressing in layers, as we saw all sorts of weather throughout the day. Was happy to have my raincoat. When in the town of Banff, we ate at Melissa’s Missteak, which was great. The staff was friendly and put our team’s hockey game on for us. There was not much time for shopping for souvenirs, so if that is important to you, I would choose a quick place for your lunch stop. If you only have 1 day to spend in Banff, this tour will cover some highlights and will teach you some Canadian geography and history!

Explore Moraine Lake and Lake Louise — A Half Day Tour

Jesus_R, Oct 2026

Half Day Lake Louise and Marble Canyon Tour - Five Stars :)

Excellent and well-paced half-day tour to Lake Louise and Marble Canyon (Moraine Lake closes from Oct 12–June 1st). Our guide, Frank, was awesome — very thorough and gave us lots of great information about Banff and surrounding areas — we learned a lot! Plenty of time to see Lake Louise. We did the short but steep hike up to the lookout — amazing views but honestly our guide, Frank, was right about the lower trail to the left being better and more scenic for the time you have to explore. The trail along the lake offers more lake and dramatic mountain views whereas the hike up keeps you in the forest and then when you arrive at the lookout there's a very small platform with everyone wanting to get their perfect photo. Worth it but only if you have more time. The drive to Marble Canyon was also very scenic and it was a very easy trail to explore the beauty and dramatic rock of the canyon. We really enjoyed it! We'd definitely recommend this and decided to take this tour based on: it includes the park pass and parking fees which can be expensive and it allows you to look around at the beautiful landscape and scenery rather than driving! And you get to ask a local guide all the questions you have. Definitely recommended and thank you again for a great tour, Frank!

Banff Gondola Ride Admission

Michele_K, Oct 2026

Beautiful Snowy Climb

The Banff Shuttle included with our tour vouchers was very easy to take from the Banff Train Station. We arrived early and we ended up being the only ones on it in early October. The Gondola area was not crowded and everyone working there were very helpful. The day was a little snowy but that added to the beauty of the mountains. Even though our views were a little compromised, we enjoyed some hot chocolate at the top and the firepits were a welcome touch. All in all, a great experience!

Great experience!!

Our entire trip was absolutely wonderful from start to finish, but what truly made it an unforgettable experience was our incredible tour guide, Steve. From the moment we met him, his enthusiasm and warm personality set a fantastic tone for the whole journey. Steve is exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and insider details that we never would have discovered on our own. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone in our group was comfortable and having a great time. If you are planning this trip, do yourself a favor and ask for Steve.. he truly made it awesome!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐An Unforgettable Experience with Banff Explorer! 🏔️❤️

What an amazing experience! 🥰 Our tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to the Canadian Rockies! 🏔️ The views were absolutely spectacular, almost unreal! Pictures simply don’t do them justice!!! A special shoutout to our wonderful driver and tour guide,*Red! He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring! He made the entire journey fun, comfortable, and memorable. What impressed me most was when another bus nearly sideswiped me in the parking lot. Red immediately stepped in and reminded the other driver to be more careful. That really showed how much he cares about his passengers’ safety, even outside his bus! 👍 Thank you, Red, for going above and beyond! Banff Explorer is lucky to have you! Thank you for being part of our wonderful Canadian Rockies adventure! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommended!
