Itinerary
Lake Louise is straight out of a dream—shimmering turquoise water, towering mountain peaks, and the iconic Fairmont Château as the perfect backdrop. Whether you’re snapping photos, strolling along the shore, or just soaking in the view, this place is pure magic. Trust us, no picture can ever do it justice—you have to see it for yourself!
Moraine Lake is the kind of place that takes your breath away—crystal-clear, impossibly blue water surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Climb up the Rockpile for that famous postcard view, or just stand by the shore and soak in the unreal beauty. It’s one of those spots that feels too perfect to be real—but it is, and you’re here! (Moraine Lake is only open from June 1st to October 13th. Will be replaced by Marble Canyon when its closed)
Every year, thousands of photographers all over the world come to take pictures of these lakes.
You will be suprised when you hear the stories of this mighty mountain
We will provide special ice crampons for a once in a lifetime ice-walk experience! From suspended catwalks to sparkling frozen waterfalls, Marble Canyon is a winter wonderland that beckons adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. (Operating only between October 13th - June 1st when the Moraine Lake is closed in winter season. )
Time to take a break and enjoy Banff Avenue—where great food, mountain views, and a little shopping all come together! Grab lunch at one of the cozy cafés or restaurants, then wander through the charming shops for unique souvenirs, local art, or maybe even some Canadian maple treats. It’s the perfect chance to soak in the lively Banff vibe before we head to our next adventure!
See the magnificient Banff Chauteu Fairmont Spring Hotel in closer look. This hotel made of real stone is one of the symbols of Banff.
Surprise Corner is where Banff gives you its best "wow" moment—an incredible panoramic view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, framed by towering peaks and the rushing Bow River. It’s the perfect spot for that jaw-dropping photo, and trust us, the name makes sense—you won’t see it coming! Another quick stop, but one you won’t forget.
Bow Falls is where raw power meets stunning scenery—a rushing, wide waterfall surrounded by rugged cliffs and lush forest. Feel the mist on your face as you watch the Bow River thunder downstream, creating a scene straight out of a movie. It’s an easy stop, but one that leaves a big impression!
Lake Minnewanka is where the mountains meet the water in the most epic way—huge, deep-blue, and stretching farther than any other lake in Banff. Whether you're skipping rocks, taking a boat ride, or just breathing in that fresh mountain air, it feels like a secret slice of paradise. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot some bighorn sheep chilling by the shore! (Depending on the traffic situation, we will visit here INSTEAD OF Bow Falls and Surprise Corner. NOT visiting these 3 places on same day. This is a ALTERNATIVE stop for Bow Falls & Surprise corner. PLEASE READ WELL and dont be upset if we dont visit here.)

Dan is fantastic—definitely the best Canmore Tour. The trip around Lake Louise and Lake Moraine is wonderful. The surprise corner story is incredible. Our group was excellent and enjoyable.
This was a long day, but it was filled with a wonderful experience. Our guide, Aylah was so good. She gave us so much information about the area and what we would be seeing. She also added in some true stories and a few legends. We really loved the tour.
Tight schedule to see everything. .. both lake stops were so busy! Our pictures dont do justice to the amazing beauty that is all around.
We had an amazing experience with Ahmed. He was a great guide and the tour overall was awesome!

Our tour guide, Dave, is excellent. He made the trip fun and engaging. He is also very knowledgeable about the area, and then some extras. Views at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise are breathtaking. We were in awe!! Banff Town is lovely. Planning on going back here in a day or two.
