Brook and Annika were... - Brook and Annika were excellent guides and made the trip very enjoyable. Stunning views of the two lakes that cannot be described but must be enjoyed in person on this tour 😀.

Beautiful sunrise in lake Morraine - This tour was one of the best tours I took in Banff. We got picked up on time in a comfy van. Everything was explained to us thoroughly in regards to timing, hiking, and nature talks. Our guide was great as she explained where it would be best to see the sunrise to get the best views. We saw spectacular views and will never forget the moments we had on this tour. After the sunrise, we went to Lake Louise where we were given different options for hikes. We had ample time for both places.

Fun, comfortable and Informative - We had an amazing and memorable experience at Lake Moraine and Lake Louise. This was my husband and I's first-time visiting Alberta, and this tour gave us an amazing first impression of what Alberta has to offer. The communication with the agency was on point and direct. Our tour guide Brooke was super easy to talk to and very informative! She made us feel comfortable and made the experience that much special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Awesome tour! - Amazing scenery with a lovely tour guide! Pictures really don’t do Moraine and Lake Louise justice, they are absolutely magical. Brooke was an outstanding guide, making sure each person found a trail to match their ability. She also gave us many wonderful recommendations for the rest of our time in Banff. Josh, who did the scheduling was extremely accommodating and provided excellent communication. A fantastic experience!

You'll be glad you booked this! - What an amazing experience! Josh communicated above and beyond, answering questions and giving advice/info. Brooke, our driver and guide, was amazing. She was prompt on pick-up, informative, witty and kind! This sunrise experience was an absolute must do for me, and I am SO pleased we chose Explore Banff! And I got my picture of a lifetime of the red canoes at sunrise on Moraine Lake! Thanks and good luck to the Explore Banff team!

Excellent Sunrise Experience at Lake Moraine and Louise - Brooke was absolutely amazing. Very helpful and proactive on the tour and had excellent insights into the area, things to do and recommendations on which trails to explore with your time at each lake. We did the sunrise tour and it did not disappoint. We will highly recommend this to our friends and family visiting the area as they are a newer business/offering that deserves more traction! It was amazing

Breathtaking tour - The best way to start our trip to Banff, we booked the Sunrise at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise with Explore Banff Tours. Communication and pickup was super easy as we were picked up right outside of our hotel in Canmore. From there we travelled to Moraine Lake where our guide Austin provided us with information about the area and plenty of time to take in the absolutely beautiful and breathtaking views. We then drove to Lake Louise where we had enough time for a leisurely stroll around the lake. On the ride back Austin regaled us with tales and knowledge of the area and answered all of our questions, overall fantastic!! I cannot recommend this tour enough if you’re traveling to the area.
