Discover the Canadian Rockies on a relaxed full-day tour to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Emerald Lake, designed for more than quick photo stops.

Continue into Yoho National Park to visit Emerald Lake, with additional scenic stops at Takakkaw Falls and Natural Bridge.

Throughout the day, your local guide shares stories of geology, wildlife, and conservation. A picnic lunch is included, and small groups ensure a comfortable, well-paced experience.

Cool Banff wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Banff over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
