The boat ride was great! Maddie and Holly were awesome hosts. Holly was a great captain. Maddie's knowledge of the lake's history and area was excellent. The lake is beautiful and the ride is well worth it. We did an early morning cruise and it was not crowded at all.
It was a pretty day and we enjoyed our one hour cruise on the lake. Hayden was our boat captain and Emily was our tourist guide and they were friendly and professional. The boat was not crowded and we were able to move around easily and go on the outside deck at the back of the boat. The views from the boat were great and we learned some interesting facts about the lake. Fun experience.
This was such a fantastic way to start our Banff and Jasper trip! Maddie and Holly were friendly and did a wonderful job taking us around the lake and teaching us about the history! We spotted some wildlife and they rerouted the boat to make sure everyone could see! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
