Yoho National Park: Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls

Great Day in Yoho!
We had a great day in Yoho visiting Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge & Takakkaw Falls. Austin was our guide & he was very nervous ce & always made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Emerald Lake was beautiful & it was nice getting there early in the day to allow those who wanted to rent a canoe get in line before it got too long. We had ample time to explore the Lake & take it in before moving on to a quick visit at Natural Bridge. The tour finished off with Takakkaw Falls. It was a nice walk to the base of the falls & we had enough time to take pictures & enjoy the area. Overall, I would recommend this tour if you have already seen Lake Loiuse & Moraine Lake as Emerald Lake is stunning & right up there with the Banff Lakes.

Easy, comfortable, and just perfect day visiting Lake Louise and Lake Moraine!
The BEST tour company in Banff!! We needed someone last minute and contacted several places. Mountain Explorer called me back right away and offered a Mercedes Sprinter van for the 8 of us for a great price!!! They picked us up at our AirBnB condo at 8:30 am and took us to Lake Moraine first, knowing it would be more crowded later, than took us to Lake Louise. We were able to explore at our pace, but the guide helped us find areas not as crowded to take pictures. If we didn't know better, we would have thought we had both places to ourselves. We were given so much info about the area during the drive there and back. It was a long day, and sooooo easy and relaxing!! I highly recommend contacting Mountain Explorer!!!

Friendly, knowledgeable, and convenient tour of Banff area.
Andy did a great job. Right from the start he clarified what we were hoping to get from our tour- just seeing the sites or getting out for short hikes. He was able to describe the available hikes including difficulty and duration with great accuracy and during the ride and hikes he was able to supply lots of info about the geology and history of the areas, as well as vital info about available services and where the cleanest bathrooms were. He did a great job of keeping our group of 8 moving so we could see all the areas we wanted, which at times was probably like herding cats. He also volunteered to take our group photos at sites, allowing all of us to be in the shots(some of the best pictures we've had together!) He supplied many recommendations for additional sites and restaurants to visit on our remaining days in this area and by group consensus, he was correct on each one. I have no hesitancy recommending both Wild Northern Journeys and Andy in particular.

Stunning scenery, amazing day and top class guide
What a day! An experience of stunningly beautiful and spectacular lakes, scenery and landscapes, made all the more enjoyable by the charming, knowledgeable and enjoyable company of the guide, Russell, from Molari. The little changes made to the schedule during the day, ensured that I saw even more than I anticipated or expected. Pre-event communication was both clear and helpful as well as timely. Were I to return sometime for another trip, there is no doubt who I’d be using as my guide for the day! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience - really excellent service!
What a day! Stunning lakes, rivers, canyons and mountains. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Advance communication and information was very good, and the guide, Russell, was charming, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to spend time with. The little detours and adjustments suggested as we progressed made the occasion even more enjoyable and ensured that I saw even more than I expected to. Were I to return I know exactly who I would be booking a tour with! You won’t be disappointed……

One of the best ways to experience the Icefields Parkway! We booked the adventure tour from Banff with Anchit, and the entire day was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the journey feel effortless.The route was absolutely breathtaking, and having everything organized for us made such a difference. No running around trying to arrange separate activities or tickets, the experience was very well put together from beginning to end.Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Banff!

Amazing Banff Tour with Wonderful Guides
I had an amazing experience on the 3-day Banff tour and would definitely recommend it!All three days were equally enjoyable, and every place I visited was beautiful. The itinerary was very well planned, with enough time at each stop to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and explore without feeling rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and everything throughout the three days was well organized.What really made the experience special were our guides — Tammy, Andrew, and Layse. All three were incredibly friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and gave us lots of interesting information throughout the tours.Tammy was wonderful — very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun throughout the day. She explained everything really well and shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited. She was also very helpful and took the time to help everyone take photos at the different stops.Andrew was extremely funny and a great talker, which made the day especially entertaining. He shared so much information and also gave us several restaurant recommendations. I tried one of the places he recommended and absolutely loved it!Layse was also fantastic and went out of her way to help us. During the lunch break, the restaurant was very busy and she helped us get a seat, which was very thoughtful. She also recommended a place for hot chocolate, and it turned out to be really good!I genuinely enjoyed everything about the three days. The scenery was incredible, I had enough time at the stops, and each guide brought their own personality to the experience.A huge thank you to Tammy, Andrew, and Layse for making my trip so memorable. I would absolutely recommend the 3-day tour to anyone wanting to experience Banff and the surrounding areas!

Andy was a wonderful tour guide who gave us lot of great historical and nature facts. He took us to so many beautiful stops and guided us to less crowded places to take pictures. Highly recommend! Admission fee to the parks was included in the trip. About 11 hours long. Best for people who want to tour at their own pace.

This was a nice, relaxed tour. We had plenty of time at Emerald Lake to enjoy all of its beauty. A quick stop to Natural Bridge was just the right amount of time & then the awesome Takakkaw Falls. Incredible! Austin was a fun & personable guide. He was a very safe driver & really made the day a fun experience.
