Itinéraire
Le mont Cascade est probablement la montagne la plus emblématique du parc national Banff. C'est une montagne du parc national de la vallée de la rivière Bow, près de la ville de Banff.
Vermilion Lakes est composé de trois lacs magnifiques. Il reflète le majestueux mont Rundle, qui s'élève au-dessus de la ville de Banff.
Castle Mountain est une montagne des Rocheuses canadiennes qui fait partie du parc national Banff. Il a un aspect de château en raison de processus érosifs.
Située au centre du parc national Yoho, la couleur émeraude vive du lac Émeraude est dérivée de minuscules particules de débris glaciaires appelées farine de roche. Ce lac est unique en raison de sa magnifique eau verte. Il est impossible de décrire le cadre verdoyant et les Rocheuses enneigées en toile de fond. En hiver, le lac était largement gelé dans la glace, et le paysage était recouvert de neige intacte.
Situé à huit kilomètres au sud d'Emerald Lake Lodge, Natural Bridge est une impressionnante formation rocheuse naturelle qui enjambe le débit de la rivière Kicking Horse à l'ouest de Field. Visiter Natural Bridge en hiver est encore plus incroyable. Lorsque la cascade rugissante gèle, des crampons de glace vous permettent de marcher sur la rivière gelée Kicking Horse et de voir le pont naturel d'en bas.
(Été seulement) Les chutes Wapta sont une superbe cascade située dans le parc national Yoho en Colombie-Britannique. C'est la plus grande cascade de la rivière Kicking Horse de 18 mètres de haut et 107 mètres de large. Cette taille impressionnante en fait l'un des sites les plus remarquables des Rocheuses canadiennes. Les visiteurs du parc se retrouvent souvent subjugués par le débit puissant de l'eau et les magnifiques paysages entourant les chutes. Wapta Falls est une destination incontournable pour les amoureux de la nature et tous ceux qui cherchent à découvrir la beauté de la nature sauvage canadienne. (Un voyage de randonnée de 4 km aller-retour aux chutes de Wapta) c'est encore plus beau en hiver quand la glace gèle et que les sommets environnants sont couverts de neige. Il changera pour Lake Louise ou complexe touristique skiable de Lake Louise en hiver.
(Hiver seulement) un lac glaciaire dans le parc national Banff. Ses eaux turquoises vives ont acquis une réputation mondiale et le glacier Victoria est le décor majestueux de la montagne. Néanmoins, beaucoup ignorent qu'en hiver, le lac présente une beauté à couper le souffle, se transformant en un pays merveilleux de glace et de neige.
Déjeuner pendant 1 heure
(Été seulement) Les chutes Takakkaw sont une attraction incontournable du parc national Yoho. Vous pouvez facilement rejoindre les chutes avec une courte promenade de 10 à 15 minutes du parking. Cela le rend accessible pour les familles et ceux qui ne veulent pas faire de randonnée sur de longues distances. Les chutes de Takakkaw sont un spectacle vraiment spectaculaire se dressant à une hauteur impressionnante de 373 mètres. Cela en fait l'une des plus hautes chutes d'eau à goutte unique au Canada. Le nom "Takakkaw" vient du mot cri qui signifie "merveilleux " reflétant la beauté de cette merveille naturelle. La beauté des chutes et les paysages environnants en font un endroit parfait pour les amoureux de la nature et les photographes. Il se transformera en Marble Canyon en hiver.
(Hiver seulement) En hiver, Marble Canyon est particulièrement beau en raison de toutes les formations de neige dans le Marble Canyon. Pendant l'hiver, Marble Canyon crée un magnifique paysage de formations rocheuses enneigées, tandis que la rivière d'un bleu profond en contrebas reste non gelée. Quelques ponts relient le canyon, vous permettant de faire quelques courtes boucles. Enfilez vos crampons, faites l'expérience de la promenade sur glace et profitez de la vue imprenable sur le canyon.

Amazing! This tour was a great way to explore the very best of Yoho Park. Our tour guide, York, was very friendly, knowledgable, and wonderful to spend the day with. There was a nice mix of easier, laidback walking along trails, as well as a more moderate hike up/down to see the falls. Overall, an excellent day, and a chance to escape the crowded tourist spots! Thanks, York!
I booked this trip with pickup in Calgary and drop off in Banff where I’d be staying for the week. I felt like it was a great deal as I got a full day tour for only a little more than a shuttle from Calgary to Banff would have cost me. There were only 9 of us on the tour plus 2 guides. Takakkaw falls was beautiful as were Emerald Lake and Natural Bridge. The best part about this tour was the hike to Wapta Falls. It was nice to get off the bus for a more extended period of time. No lunch was provided on this tour so bring something with you. They also made a stop at a convenience store along the way so everyone had a change to pickup some snacks or food there. The guides were both great with answering questions and taking photos of everyone at each stop.
We had a wonderful daytrip exploring the Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge, Wapta Falls and Takakkaw Falls. The sights were astounding, but the day was made complete by the presence of an extended family on the tour who took us under their wing, and also our tour guide York who was both warm and insightful throughout the day, and could not have been more accommodating towards us all. For sure the landscape was impressive, but my overarching memories will be of the people we spent the occasion with.
Tour was cancelled by the operator the day before due to weather. Could not rebook anything to our schedule.
Trip was cancelled 40 minutes before we were due to be picked up. It was our last day in Banff after travelling from the UK and such a shame as we were really looking forward to this trip and had no time to book with a different company. A full refund was issued straight away but just wish we knew the day before so we could plan something else for that day.
It's an excellent 💯👍 tour ! Vicky was the driver & tour guide. She was so good , caring, attentive , knowledgeable about the history for all the attractions about Banff & hiking........We were so glad to be in this Tour ! Vicky even took us to a secret spot 💜🩵💙💖👍‼️
I selected this tour because it had all of the sites we wanted to see. Other tours had several of them, but no tour had this combination. Patrick made the experience memorable. He was very knowledgeable, very hospitable and had a great sense of humor. He offered to take photos at every stop and knew where the best vantage points were for photos, often not where orher tourist were drawn too... Just a difference of 10 yards sometimes made a big difference. It rained the day of our tour. Patrick made a suggestion to the group to take us to a secluded vantage point of Wapta Falls. This would avoid the slippery surface near the falls and avoided the hike there (which my girlfriend and I were very ok with having hiked the Larch trail the day before). Although the distance was far from the falls it was a terrific view. He offered to replace the hike with a visit to two additional lakes that were not on the tour. Bow Lake and Peyto Lake were amazing additions and stunningly beautiful and fid mot require hikes. They were quite a drive away, but Patrick was happy to visit these in lieu of the missed hike. The other couples seemed to have a fantastic time too. We have not done a group tour before, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I can't imagine a tour company or guide doing any better. My only suggestion is to improve the info on Viator and in emails, etc. It was very confusing to figure out the correct pickup time. One place had 9 a.m. listed, another had 7:30 and another had 8:30. I messaged the tour operator through Viator which was easy and they replied within hours (our tour was weeks away), and it tuned out there were three cities for pickup... Calgary, Canmore and Banff, hence different pickup times. That should be listed in the tour. Plus, the last pickup was us in Banff at 8:30 so I have no idea why 9 a.m. ls isted. I highly recommend this tour and using Rockies Journey. If you get Patrick that's a bonus.
I’d rate the tour 120 out of 100！ The weather was amazing. Our tour guide Vicky took really good care of us. She made sure everyone was in good condition, provided walking poles before the hike, and gave us snacks and bottled water afterward. She also shared lots of information about the places we visited.
The tour was great you see a lot in Yoho National Park Patrick and Vicky were great tour guides to have
Patrick and Vicki made our tour fun. Emerald Lake was beautiful and relaxing. The Natural Bridge was so unusual. The hike to Wapta Falls was worth it. Very powerful. But the Takakkaw Falls were Spectacular!! Patrick was always there to take Pictures. We had a wonderful tour.
