Start your day with ease and convenience with pickups beginning from Canmore or Banff. From the moment you step into our comfortable, spacious vehicle, your small-group adventure begins. No need to worry about the details—your personalized tour has been thoughtfully planned to offer you the best experience possible. As you travel toward Moraine Lake and/or Lake Louise, your guide will share fascinating stories about the land’s wildlife, history, and ecology, offering a deeper connection to the places you’re about to explore.

Your first stop is Moraine Lake, where you’ll arrive before the crowds, allowing you to experience its serene beauty in peaceful solitude. To ensure you feel comfortable and ready for the day, we provide each guest with a warm beverage, perfect for the crisp morning air. Hiking poles are also available to ensure you’re comfortable and ready to explore. As the morning light gently illuminates the shimmering lake, you’ll feel the peaceful atmosphere surrounding you. This moment is all yours—no rushing, no distractions.

Your guide will lead you to the Rockpile, where you can take in panoramic views and discover the best spots for photography, whether you’re capturing the lake’s stunning hues or the towering peaks that surround it.

Your belongings can stay safely in the vehicle, as your driver will be ready and waiting when it’s time to continue the journey.

The adventure continues as we head to Lake Louise. Upon arrival, your guide will share tips on how to make the most of your two hours there. Want to stroll along the lakeshore trail? Or, for a more peaceful experience away from the crowds, take our favorite hike up the Fairview Lookout trail. This quieter trail leads to a stunning viewpoint where you can enjoy a higher view of the lake with the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in the background. Your guide will ensure you know exactly where to go for the best views. And, of course, they’ll be available to answer any questions, help with photos, or just offer advice on the best way to experience this iconic location.

When it’s time to leave Lake Louise, you’ll settle back into the vehicle and enjoy a scenic drive as we make our way back to your accommodations. Along the way, your guide will offer personalized recommendations for activities in Banff and the surrounding National Parks. Whether you’re looking for a thrilling adventure or a quiet retreat, you’ll receive insider tips on where to go next.
