Can’t recommend this amazing and intimate tour group enough! - The sunrise tour with Banff Alpenglow Adventures is a must do! Kayla and her team have managed to make a very popular adventure all that more special through their intimate tour. It’s perfect for people travelling alone or in a group! Kayla was very knowledgeable about the area and knew where the best spots for photos were to escape the crowds. The additional touches of blankets, delish banana bread and hot drinks made the early morning wake up all that more easier. Can’t thank them enough for such a special day!

Just Wow........ - Totally worth the cost to get to Lake Louise & Moraine before the world shows up at the Lake Shore. Definitely made for a long day but was more than worth it. Our tour guide Brandon was awesome. We got picked up promptly from our AirBnB in Canmore and the day. The view was amazing and we had plenty of time at both Lakes. They had some vegan snacks and hot chocolate which was a nice addition. Learned some history and such during the trip too! Thanks Brandon and Banff Alpenglow for a great morning.

Recommend! - Definitely recommend utilizing Alpenglow for your adventures! Riley was a wonderful & super nice guide- he sent a msg confirming our reservation & meeting time the day before, showed up on time, clean & comfortable van, small group, great information & answered questions from guests about Banff and the surrounding towns. He had hot beverages, blankets, head lamps, and umbrellas for the guests. Also, the banana bread! Delicious! If scheduling an adventure, I can’t recommend Alpenglow enough for your needs :)

Fabulous Tour! - We did a sunrise tour with them overall it was a great experience. Riley was very pleasant to work, excellent communication, and tremendously helpful not just with the tour but with other things to do in Banff with us not able to travel to Jasper. The weather was cloudy so didn’t see the sunlight shining on the mountain but views were still fantastic. Highly recommend them!

Fabulous Sunrise Tour - My family and I enjoyed the tour very much! We were lucky of we were booked on the tour, essentially we had a private tour. The pick up was prompt and as it was the 3 of us we had more time to spend at the two lakes. Riley was an amazing tour guide, knowledge of the area and also had tips of where to spot wildlife...and we did see some!

Stress-free way to see Lake Moraine & Lake Louise! - We really enjoyed our Sunrise Adventure with Banff Alpenglow! From my very first enquiry with Kayla, I could tell this company would take care of all the details. We especially appreciated the door-to-door service, since we were staying in Canmore without a vehicle. The ride was comfortable, our guide Riley was knowledgeable, and that homemade banana bread??!! :-) Of course, Moraine Lake and Lake Louise were spectacular, and this hastle-free tour really made it special for us. Worth every penny. Thank you!
