The lake is named after the legend of two Jacks, who were among the first explorers of the area. Surrounded by mountains, the lake's crystal-clear waters display different colors in different seasons and lighting conditions, making it a favorite spot for photographers. Standing by the lake, you can see the towering Rocky Mountains, especially Mount Rundle and Mount Cascade, whose reflections create a picturesque scene on the lake. The lake's water presents a dreamy green or blue hue, shimmering under the sunlight, with snow-capped peaks shining brilliantly. Whether you visit in the morning or evening, you'll experience its unique charm.

The largest lake in Banff National Park, its name comes from the indigenous language, meaning "Spirit of the Water" or "Sacred Water." The vast lake and surrounding majestic mountains complement each other, with the deep blue waters resembling a gem embedded in nature.

Johnston Canyon was carved out by Johnston Creek over thousands of years in the limestone mountains. The canyon is about 1.1 km long, featuring two famous waterfalls: Lower Falls and Upper Falls. Walking along the canyon trail, you'll see emerald-green waters rushing down the cliffs, with water droplets sparkling like gems in the sunlight. The well-built wooden walkways along the canyon's edge offer a unique perspective, allowing you to feel the grandeur and steepness of the canyon. Especially in the narrow parts, you'll experience an immersive thrill. (choose between Banff Town and Johnston Canyon).

Lake Louise is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and majestic mountain views, known as the "Jewel of the Rockies." The lake's mesmerizing turquoise color comes from glacial rock flour suspended in the water, creating a sparkling gem-like effect under the sunlight. It is hailed as one of the Top Ten Most Beautiful Lakes in the World. Lunch recommendation: Enjoy an English afternoon tea or lakeside coffee at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

Emerald Lake, the largest lake in Yoho National Park, gets its name from its unique emerald-green color, caused by fine glacial rock flour suspended in the water. Under sunlight, the lake resembles a sparkling emerald, set against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and forests, creating a breathtaking scene.

15 min

The Natural Bridge, located in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, is a natural wonder formed by the Kicking Horse River eroding hard rock over millions of years.

Wonderful personalized VIP experience!

We were blown away by this private experience for our adventures at Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake! Max (our guide) was prompt, flexible, and despite poor phone service always easy to find! We changed plans midway to eat a little faster instead of sit down and he gave great recommendations. We felt VIP on this tour and he made a very busy day so perfect! Highly recommend!

Worth it private tour!!

Initially booked for 10 guests but I had to add 1 more guest last minute. Called the agency a day prior to the tour and Rachel was able to accommodate me. Booked the tour for my family and they all loved it. Caleb was our tour guide and Ron was our driver. I requested if they can pick us up and drop us off in our airbnb instead of the meet up spot, and they did. Caleb was very nice and sweet. He is very knowledgeable with the history of Calgary, Alberta and the national parks and lakes that we went to. He also gave us good recommendations for restaurants, photo spots and much more. Ron was also very kind and patient. We had some requests and extensions during the tour and Ron was able to do all of it. Since it was a private tour, Ron helped us with the schedule and time allotment which made the tour smooth. Overall, the whole experience was unforgettable and one of the best things that we did yet here in Alberta. Because of Caleb and Ron, the tour was smooth and convenient. We covered all the lakes and tourist areas that we wanted to see. It was tiresome but it was all worth it. Would definitely do it again and would recommend this tour and agency to anyone who wants to check out Banff. Thank you Caleb and Ron!!! Hopefully we’ll see you both soon!!
