Genaamd Ho-run-num-nay (meer van de kleine vissen) door de Stoney Nakota First Nations mensen. Dit gletsjermeer biedt enkele van de mooiste uitzichten in de Canadese Rockies en is ook de thuisbasis van het Chateau Lake Louise. Chateau Lake Louise is een wereldberoemde bergresort en UNESCO World Heritage Site in Banff National Park, Alberta. Bekend als de “Diamond in the Wilderness”, werd het kasteel gebouwd in de late jaren 1800, en werd ontwikkeld als onderdeel van het netwerk van hotels van de CPR. Het deelt een stamboom met het Banff Springs Hotel, Le Chateau Frontenac in Québec City en het Empress Hotel in Victoria. Gezien de afgelegen ligging en de uiteindelijke omvang, markeerde het Chateau Lake Louise een belangrijk punt in de ontwikkeling van het Canadese Westen. Referentie: De Canadese Encyclopedie © 2023
Moraine Lake wordt niet voor niets beschouwd als het meest gefotografeerde meer van Canada. Moraine Lake is te vinden in de Vallei van de Tien Pieken en is beroemd om zijn prachtige omgeving en zijn saffierblauwe water.
Emerald Lake is een zoetwatermeer in het Nationaal Park Yoho, Brits-Columbia, Canada. Genoemd door vroege berggidsen vanwege zijn buitengewone kleur. Gletsjers bedekten dit gebied ooit en als het ijs zich terugtrekt, pikt hun smeltwater een verscheidenheid aan sedimentaire materialen op en voert het stroomafwaarts naar depressies omringd door gletsjerpuin, waardoor gletsjerwatermeren als deze ontstaan. De groene of turqoise kleur komt van het fijngemalen rotsmeel dat in het water zweeft: het verstrooiende effect dat de zwevende deeltjes op het licht hebben, in combinatie met de reflectie van de blauwe lucht, geeft het water zijn opmerkelijke blauwgroene kleur.

De Takakkawwaterval is een waterval in het Nationaal Park Yoho, nabij Field, Brits-Columbia in Canada. "Takakkaw" vertaalt naar "prachtig" in het Cree De watervallen hebben een totale hoogte van 373 meter en zijn daarmee de hoogste waterval van de Canadese Rockies, en de op een na hoogste van Canada!

Fantastic experience full of adventure. Bryce is kind, funny and an expert of the Banff and Yoho parks. We highly recommend this guided tour for anyone traveling in a group.
We booked a two day tour with Big Nature and it was exceptional! Bryce was an amazing educator and guide. We cannot wait to utilize this great service again.
We were on a guided tour that went from Moraine Lake and went up Sentinel Pass, it was very fun and informative. Every part of the tour was explained fully, and the hike itself was inclusive, nobody was left behind.
This was by far the highlight of our 8 days in Canada. Cassie was an amazing tour guide. My husband and I were here celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and what a great way to spend it. We were blown away by the beauty of this area and having Cassie and her knowledge of the area taking us it made it so enjoyable. We didn’t have to worry about anything. This was a great way to spend a day and not have to worry about driving, parking or crowds. I highly recommend booking this trip as one of the first things you do when you arrive. It gives you an idea of how to navigate the area as well as which areas you might want to back to.
My friends and I booked a customized private tour with Big Nature last week, and it was truly one of the most phenomenal experiences of our lives. From start to finish, Cassie and Bryce were exceptional guides; they are knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly thoughtful. Our adventure began with a 4:30 a.m. pickup from our stay in Canmore to catch the sunrise at Moraine Lake, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. After soaking in the breathtaking views, we rode in their super comfortable van to Lake Louise for the Lake Agnes hike, followed by the climb up to the Big Beehive. Along the way, Cassie and Bryce shared fascinating educational insights about the area, and even pointed out wildlife we would have completely missed (like the adorable pika)! The day wrapped up with a relaxing ride back to our stay, leaving us with unforgettable memories and stunning views. Cassie and Bryce truly made the experience just as incredible as the scenery. We HIGHLY recommend Big Nature for anyone planning on a trip to Banff. You'll be in the best hands!
5/5 great experience! My boyfriend, friends, and I were visiting Banff for the first time. Little did we know that we either have to book a shuttle or private tour in advance to visit the iconic spots. Luckily we found Big Nature and they tailored our whole day to fit our interests. They picked us up promptly for the Lake Moraine sunrise. Blankets, coffee, and pads for sitting were provided. We then saw Lake Louise, Lake Agnes, and hiked the Big Beehive. After the hike, refreshments and snacks were provided and we were dropped off back at our Airbnb. Bryce and Cassie are very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. We learned a lot more about Banff, geology, history, wildlife, botany, and all their many hobbies which inspired all of us. It was such a memorable day. Thank you for your hospitality! 100% recommend
It was great. Our driver was knowledgeable and friendly. He provided snacks and beverages to keep us hydrated and happy. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see these prominent water features. 5 Stars!!
Don’t even think about a different tour company!! Cassie was amazing, a local with deep knowledge of the mountains around Banff. Small tours are the best!! Lake Moraine blew us away but our favorite was Takkakaw Falls. Emerald Lake was also incredibly beautiful. It was a great day and we would do it again!!!
I can't say enough about our experience with Big Nature tours. From the moment I contacted Big Nature (Cassie) to book a custom private tour for 16 to the moment we were dropped off after our full day tour, everything was perfect!! Our tour guides Max and Randi were so informative, professional and personable, and accommodating to our needs. Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, and Takakkaw Falls did not disappoint. Thanks for a memorable experience for our family. I would HIGHLY recommend Big Nature for your next adventure!!! The Cannaday, Murray, and Wyatt families
We took the Banff Big 3 Tour with 2 adults and 3 teenagers. I cannot say enough good things about this tour company. Cassie was our guide. She is from Calgary and she knows the area well. Cassie has a fantastic personality and was not only knowledgeable about each of the sites, but also the formation of the area, the history of the first explorers, the development of the area, the geology, and the wildlife. She was open to questions and had extensive knowledge of all the subjects we asked about. Cassie provided water and snacks and got us "rock star" parking at each location. She had great advice of how to utilize our time at each stop and where to get the best photos. This tour far exceeded our expectations.
