Moraine Lake & Louise - Morning or Sunset Tour from Banff/Canmore
Choose from Two Fantastic Options & Travel Through a Wildlife Corridor!
-
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.
-
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!
