Itinerary
Lake Louise is straight out of a dream—shimmering turquoise water, towering mountain peaks, and the iconic Fairmont Château as the perfect backdrop. Whether you’re snapping photos, strolling along the shore, or just soaking in the view, this place is pure magic. Trust us, no picture can ever do it justice—you have to see it for yourself!
Moraine Lake is the kind of place that takes your breath away—crystal-clear, impossibly blue water surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Climb up the Rockpile for that famous postcard view, or just stand by the shore and soak in the unreal beauty. It’s one of those spots that feels too perfect to be real—but it is, and you’re here! (Moraine Lake is only open from June 1st to October 13th. Will be replaced by Marble Canyon when its closed)
Every year, thousands of photographers all over the world come to take pictures of these lakes.
You will be suprised when you hear the stories of this mighty mountain
We will provide special ice crampons for a once in a lifetime ice-walk experience! From suspended catwalks to sparkling frozen waterfalls, Marble Canyon is a winter wonderland that beckons adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. (Operating only between October 13th - June 1st when the Moraine Lake is closed in winter season. )
Time to take a break and enjoy Banff Avenue—where great food, mountain views, and a little shopping all come together! Grab lunch at one of the cozy cafés or restaurants, then wander through the charming shops for unique souvenirs, local art, or maybe even some Canadian maple treats. It’s the perfect chance to soak in the lively Banff vibe before we head to our next adventure!
See the magnificient Banff Chauteu Fairmont Spring Hotel in closer look. This hotel made of real stone is one of the symbols of Banff.
Surprise Corner is where Banff gives you its best "wow" moment—an incredible panoramic view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, framed by towering peaks and the rushing Bow River. It’s the perfect spot for that jaw-dropping photo, and trust us, the name makes sense—you won’t see it coming! Another quick stop, but one you won’t forget.
Bow Falls is where raw power meets stunning scenery—a rushing, wide waterfall surrounded by rugged cliffs and lush forest. Feel the mist on your face as you watch the Bow River thunder downstream, creating a scene straight out of a movie. It’s an easy stop, but one that leaves a big impression!
Lake Minnewanka is where the mountains meet the water in the most epic way—huge, deep-blue, and stretching farther than any other lake in Banff. Whether you're skipping rocks, taking a boat ride, or just breathing in that fresh mountain air, it feels like a secret slice of paradise. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot some bighorn sheep chilling by the shore! (Depending on the traffic situation, we will visit here INSTEAD OF Bow Falls and Surprise Corner. NOT visiting these 3 places on same day. This is a ALTERNATIVE stop for Bow Falls & Surprise corner. PLEASE READ WELL and dont be upset if we dont visit here.)

Excellent throughout. A full day of activities, brilliantly orchestrated by Aylah. A very memorable day out!
Our guided tour was awesome. Our guide was Aila and she was great. She was energetic and so insightful. Learned a lot and I enjoyed the day throughly. Will definitely recommend this trip!
We had a wonderful day without the stress and worry of driving and hoping to find parking, allowing us to simply enjoy the breathtaking view of the Rocky Mountains and spectacular lakes!
A fabulous day with a fabulous guide. Dave was not only a lovely person but his local knowledge and humour made the trip what it was. We learned so much! Thank you so much.
We had a great tour and our guide Dan was very funny and knowledgeable. The only downside was that we were in the back of the van and he didn’t use a microphone so it was hard to hear.
Dave was the best guide! We learned so much and he went above and beyond for all his passengers. My daughter could not stop talking about how much she loved having him as our guide. She especially loved the treats he gave us.
Incredible day with Mike! Outstanding tour, very informative, but not too much. Mike was funny and made time fly by in between stops… he had great tips, stories, and helped everyone with photos. The photos we got and the memories we made were both priceless. If in the area and looking for a tour, this is the one you want to take!
Joshua and Mike were exceptional tour guides. Their extensive knowledge and genuine passion for Calgary and Banff made the tour truly enjoyable. They ensured everyone had a fantastic time while being mindful of everyone’s time. Their humor kept the group entertained throughout the journey. Every location on the itinerary is a must-see. Each lake offered its own unique beauty, and I’m grateful for this tour that provided the perfect timing and photo opportunities at all the places Banff has to offer. This 3-day tour is worth every penny!
We had an incredible experience with the family and we had the best guide in Joshua. He made sure we were having the best time of our lives and he definitely made sure that the experience was one to remember.
Nice pace of the tour! We had a fun time discovering Banff with a good crowd and tour guide! Wish the downtown Banff was a little bit more lengthy
