• Banff - Begin your day in Banff with ease. Our luxurious and spacious van, along with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide, will be ready to welcome you for a day filled with adventure, comfort, and exploration.
• Banff National Park - Your journey unfolds in the heart of Banff National Park, featuring guaranteed visits to two of Canada’s most iconic and sought-after spots: Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.

But that’s just the start.

This isn’t a pre-planned, generic tour. This is where Radventures shines — we discard the script and tailor the day to suit you.

Your local guide uses extensive insider knowledge to select the best route and hidden gems based on:

Recent wildlife sightings,

your group’s interests, mood, and energy, and

the day’s timing and conditions.

This ensures that no two tours are alike. Whether it’s a hidden canyon, a tranquil viewpoint, or a backroad frequented by wildlife but often missed by visitors, we’ll take you to where the experience will be most unforgettable — not just where the guidebooks suggest.

• Lake Louise - Lake Louise has been captivating visitors to the Canadian Rockies for over a century, and for good reason.

This renowned alpine lake in Banff National Park boasts an incredible turquoise blue hue, fed by glacial melt and set against the backdrop of Mount Victoria and hanging glaciers.

As a guest on this small group tour, you’ll enjoy guaranteed & expedited entry to the breathtaking Lake Louise, sparing you the hassle of long lines for crowded buses or the need to arrive before dawn to secure a parking spot, along with a personalized itinerary from your expert local guide based on your preferences.

Don’t be misled into a shorter visit! At Lake Louise, you’ll want 1.5-2 hours to explore the lakeside trails, rent a canoe, visit the Chateau Lake Louise, or simply relax under a tree and watch the world go by!

Your expert local guide will be available to provide all the information you need and show you our local secret spots, perfect for photos and away from the crowds.

• Moraine Lake - This glacier-fed lake transforms into the most intense and vivid shade of turquoise blue during the summer months, making you feel like you’re in a dream.

Now closed to public vehicle access, Moraine Lake has rightfully become a top priority on everyone’s Banff bucket list, emerging as the number one destination in the Canadian Rockies in recent years.

With strict visitation restrictions in place since 2023, joining this small group tour is the best way to ensure a stress-free visit to Moraine Lake.

Don’t be misled into a shorter visit! At Moraine Lake, you’ll want 1.5-2 hours to explore the lakeside trails, rent a canoe, or enjoy a picnic lunch in one of our secret spots.

Your expert local guide will be available to provide all the information you need to enhance your experience here and show you our local secret spots at the lake, perfect for photos and away from the crowds.

• Bow Valley Parkway - Potential custom stop/route: A relaxing and scenic drive through forested valleys and wildlife corridors. Ideal for spotting wildlife and enjoying uninterrupted views of Castle Mountain and Storm Mountain, all while avoiding the traffic of the Trans Canada Highway. Not a guaranteed route/stop.
• Bow Falls - Potential custom stop: A quick and easy walk to one of Banff’s most dramatic glacier-fed waterfalls. Roaring, misty, and beautiful. Not a guaranteed stop.

• Vermilion Lakes - Potential custom stop: Three peaceful lakes just outside town, perfect for reflections of Mount Rundle and the occasional moose or eagle sighting. Not a guaranteed stop.
