Highlights
  • Lake Louise - Lake Louise is a glacial lake within Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. It is named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and the wife of the Marquess of Lorne, who was the Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883. The turquoise colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake. The lake has a surface of 0.8 km² and is drained through the 3 km long Louise Creek into the Bow River. Moraine Lake and Lake Agnes are also accessible from Lake Louise.
  • Moraine Lake - The waters of Moraine Lake seem like they have been poured straight from the heavens into the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The towering mountains encircle the deep blue surface of the lake in a formation so extraordinary, only Mother Nature could shape it. Piles of boulders have been seemingly dropped by the hands of giants, forming miniature mountains near the lakeshore. Let yourself be drawn to the trails that wind amongst the rocks and travel beyond to alpine meadows and sparkling lakes.

With new visitation restrictions in place for Summer 2023, joining this small group tour is the best way to guarantee your visit to Moraine Lake.

Lake Louise & Moraine Lake - Both Lake Louise and Lake Moraine are so beautiful with their different colors of blue and green. This was a quick half day trip to both lakes (one hour spent at each for viewing and photos) from Banff primarily to see Lake Moraine and the 10 peaks of the surrounding mountains, as Lake Moraine is only accessible by shuttle vans or buses via a tour company. We previously had the opportunity to stay at the Fairmont Chateau on Lake Louise and had more time to spend with canoeing on the lake for an hour and an exhausting hike 3.4 km up a trail to Mirror Lake and Lake Agnes but well worth it for the views. Jash, our tour guide, was so delightful to spend this time with. She contacted us 1.5 hours prior via text and met our group at a central meeting point in town to begin our wonderful journey. She led us to the best viewing and photo spots quickly and gave us family time on our own afterwards. Thanks again Jash for such fantastic memories.

Spectacular scenery, well worth visiting - Comfortable transport and helpful, informative tour guide. Scenery at both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake was spectacular. We were very fortunate with the weather being sunny and warm with clear skies. We were very pleased that the tour operator waited to see whether it would be possible to visit Moraine Lake after the access road had been blocked by an accident that morning. Fortunately, the road reopened and managed to see the Lake.
