Don't get fooled into a shorter stop! At Lake Louise, you will want 1.5-2 hours to explore the lakeside trails, rent a canoe, explore the Chateau Lake Louise or simply hang out under a tree and watch the world go by!

Banff National Park

Lake Louise & Moraine Lake are our two guaranteed destinations on this tour, but the highlight of our guests day is often the tailor-made ending.
Our flexibility as a small-group tour operator is matched by our desire to blow your expectations out of those neon blue waters, so with the remaining 1.5 - 2 hours of this full day adventure, your local expert Radventures guide for the day will consider recent wildlife sightings, big bus tour schedules, local insights and fellow operator knowledge to determine which local secret spot or two to visit.

You can expect to visit 1, 2 or maybe even 3 of these stunning secret spots depending on where we think you will have the best experience to finish off the day. That's the Radventures way.
