Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each)

Jane_Q, Sep 2026

A must do

A shuttle is the best way to see these sites. Parking is very difficult and you can no longer drive to Moraine lake. Our driver provided valuable and interesting information. Well worth the price!

Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff Tour from Calgary/Canmore/Banff

K5257JXronr, Sep 2026

Wow, simply wow!

Our experience exceeded all expectations. The stunning sites are almost indescribable. We are thankful for the gifts of sight and smell to have experienced this part of the world. Our guide, 'Rager Roger' enhanced the visit tremendously. His communication in advance of the tour was spot-on for meeting the bus. Even greater was the sincere passion he exuded for sharing knowledge of the areas we visited. Roger sprinkled in the right amount of trivia in a fun and engaging manner, as well. Finally, we were impressed with how he too care to ensure every single guest was included as he called on each of us, by name, during the tour.I couldn't recommend this excursion more highly.

An Incredible Day in the Canadian Rockies

The experience was absolutely incredible! Visiting Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff, and Surprise Corner made for such a beautiful and memorable day. The tour was the perfect length, the weather was wonderful, and the information shared throughout the day was interesting and informative. Our guide Bana kept us engaged without making the tour feel rushed or overloaded with information. It was a great balance of sightseeing, learning, and simply enjoying the scenery. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Canadian Rockies.

A Trip of a Lifetime !!!

We were on this 3 day trip from Calgary to Banff and back to Calgary every night. Each of the 3 days covered scenic destinations of the Banff National park and also exploring parts of Jasper and Yoho National Park en-route per itinerary of the trip. The views were Stunning, Picturesque and Exquisite !!! A big THANK YOU to our guide's SAMMY and ELIAN for providing context, history and background of the places we were visiting as well as making the trip fun and memorable !! Must say "If there is a Paradise on Earth - It is This. It is This. It is This !".

Lake Minnewanka Cruise

Fantastic

Fantastic cruise around the lake. Our guide Emma was incredibly knowledgeable and our boat driver Vic was fantastic. They do a moment where they turn off the engine in the middle of the lake so you can experience the quiet and this was beautiful.
