Hannah was a Great tour guide and Polaroid photographer. She was punctual and allowed us the freedom to choose our own adventure at the lakes.

Lauren – United Kingdom

Our guide Hannah was brilliant! Very knowledgeable, kind and added some personal touches to the trip. Moraine lake was stunning and we were lucky it wasn’t over crowded then hiked up to fairpoint lookout at Lake Louise. Plenty of time to go off and explore on your own

Full description

Begin your day with a journey to two of the most breathtaking destinations in the Canadian Rockies. Departing from Canmore or Banff, your adventure kicks off with a convenient pickup, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. As you travel toward the tranquil waters of Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, your tour guide will bring the region to life, sharing captivating stories about the wildlife, ecology, and history that shape these awe-inspiring landscapes. With each passing mile, you’ll feel more connected to this stunning corner of the world, surrounded by mountains, lakes, and the timeless beauty of nature.

Arriving at least 45 minutes before the first light, you’ll have the rare opportunity to experience Moraine Lake Sunrise in peaceful solitude, long before the crowds arrive. As you step off the vehicle, you’ll be welcomed with the warmth of a hot beverage in your hands and a thoughtfully prepared bag that includes a headlamp, blanket, and sit pad, ensuring you’re comfortable and cozy as you settle in to watch the first light break over the lake.

Once everyone is ready, your guide will lead the way to the Rockpile, offering local insights into the best spots for photography or simply taking in the stunning surroundings. Wrapped in your blanket, with the crisp morning air around you, you’ll feel the magic of the moment as the beauty of the sunrise unfolds before your eyes. For the next two hours, you’re free to wander, unwind, or capture the beauty around you at your own pace. Feel free to leave your belongings securely in the vehicle—your driver will be there, waiting at the van, ready to continue the next chapter of your adventure when it’s time to move on.

At Lake Louise, your guide will lead you to the lake entrance, highlighting the best spots for photos, trailheads, and ways to make the most of your two hours at the lake. They’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you might have and assist with your photos, ensuring you capture the perfect shot of the stunning landscape. Whether you choose to stroll along the lakeshore trail, hike to the Fairview Lookout, or admire the grandeur of the beautiful Fairmont Château Lake Louise, you’ll have plenty of time to appreciate what makes this destination so special—without feeling rushed.

After your visit to Lake Louise, your guide will drive you on the scenic journey back to Banff, sharing personalized recommendations for the best activities, unforgettable experiences, and hidden gems in the surrounding National Parks. Whether you’re craving an adrenaline-filled adventure or a peaceful spot to unwind, your guide will offer suggestions to help you make the most of your time in this stunning region. As the day draws to a close, you’ll be safely returned to your original pickup location, with all the insights you need to continue your journey, ready to embrace whatever comes next with ease and excitement.
