Banff Lakes Wildlife Corridor Tour Experience

Choose from Two Fantastic Options & Travel Through a Wildlife Corridor!
1. MORNING TOUR 8 AM START–the most turquoise color -1.5 hour at each lake —enough time to explore, take a walk, or a even a short canoe ride (if the dock is not too busy), but not too long to be waiting around.

2. AFTERNOON/SUNSET GLOW TOUR—Experience the lakes at their quietest after the crowds have left. Enjoy golden light for 1 hour at each lake. This is the most tranquil time of day when Moraine Lake and Lake Louise truly shine. Many times we have Moraine Lake for ourselves!

BONUS: TRAVEL THROUGH A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR! Maybe we’ll spot The Boss, our famous grizzly! Rumor has it he’s been practicing his red carpet-walk!

A small group of max 14 guests
Spacious, high-roof van for enhanced comfort
Many pick up locations in Canmore, Banff, Harvie Heights
An expert guide sharing local stories + your personal paparazzi for a few shots!
Guide and van stay on-site so you can relax and warm up if you need.
