Lakes and Waterfalls
New York City
Emerald Lake,Natural Bridge, Wapta Falls & Takakkaw Falls in Yoho
Christine_B, Sep 2026
Lakes and Waterfalls
The lakes and waterfalls we visited were amazing. Boyd our guide did a great job working with a group of diverse hiking abilities. The weather was perfect but the ground somewhat muddy at the first waterfall if you went past the overlook for a closeup view. It would be worthwhile taking your hiking sticks on this tour if nothing else to use at Wapta Falls. Boyd had several sets of sticks people could borrow but just know they were very useful at Wapata Falls. The sites we visited had lots of visitors and cars were parking a long way away and adding to their hikes considerably just because of distant parking. However being on this small group tour, we had parking right up front as well as a knowledgeable guide to let us know where the best spots to take pictures. We also had plenty of water and snacks for all who wanted or needed them. Couldn’t have had a prettier day. We had a wonderful experience. Definitely worth doing these places with a small group tour.

Really friendly tour - worth doing
I don’t tend to like tours, however, this one may have changed my mind on this. Our guide was Erin who was very good at keeping the balance right between talking when driving and giving information but allowing us space once at the spots. The spots we went to very fantastic, photo opportunities were amazing- we had really good weather. Timing for Banff gondola was really good. We really enjoyed the whole tour including the gondola which we will review separately. Brody was waiting for us when we came down from the gondola and was so amenable to the group taking requests for where to drop people. I can’t recommend this company and tour enough - they were brilliant

Perfect way to start the day
What an amazing way to start the day. Our group was small (5 in 3 kayaks) and we were the only ones on the river. Our guide was great and made sure everyone was able to get in and out of their kayaks to get across the beaver’s dam. The kayaking was relaxed and gentle and allowed for you to enjoy your surroundings. A good level of mobility is required, if only for negotiating the dam. This provides an amazing start to our holiday.
