Choose from Two Fantastic Options & Travel Through a Wildlife Corridor!

1. MORNING TOUR 8 AM START–the most turquoise color -1.5 hours at EACH lake —enough time to explore, take a walk, or a even a short canoe ride (if the dock is not too busy), but not too long to be waiting around.

2. AFTERNOON/SUNSET GLOW TOUR—Experience the lakes at their quietest after the crowds have left. Enjoy golden light for 1 hour at each lake. This is the most tranquil time of day when Moraine Lake and Lake Louise truly shine. Many times we have Moraine Lake for ourselves!

BONUS: TRAVEL THROUGH A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR! Maybe we’ll spot The Boss, our famous grizzly! Rumor has it he’s been practicing his red carpet-walk!
