Itinerary
Castle Mountain is a mountain in the Canadian Rockies that is part of Banff National Park. It has a castle-like appearance due to erosive processes.
Lake Louise is a glacial lake within Banff National Park. The vivid turquoise waters of Lake Louise have earned it a worldwide reputation. The Victoria Glacier as the majestic mountain backdrop.
What makes this place additionally special is the fact that it can only be accessible for a brief time each year (only open from June to Oct 13th). Moraine Lake is the majesty of nature, this strikingly turquoise-blue Moraine Lake sits in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Only a short walk from the parking lot to the lake. This is one place you definitely cannot miss in Banff.

Two beautiful lakes that are a must see while In Banff. Our guide Kimmy was awesome. You can tell she loves her job!
Amazing experience. Awesome views. Guide #Jess was really good on her job. she was funny, and an amazing story teller.
It was a great way to see the sights. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and got us where we needed to go safely. The only negative was a text from the tour operator about tipping. I felt that was out of line and unnecessary. We would have tipped more without that message.
Wonderful trip to 2 stunning lakes. Smart and comfortable bus pickup exactly as arranged. The time at each lake was just perfect. Our guide Kenneth enhanced our experience with his interesting info along the way and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our trip. Very reasonably priced compared to some other companies.
Our tour guide was funny and thoughtful. Communication from the company was prompt and helpful. I’d definitely recommend Rockies Journey for a trip to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.
The shuttle picked us up on time and it was a very smooth ride to both lakes. We visited lake Louise and Moraine lake and our guide Ken Ken was very entertaining and helpful!
Go by bus, which is well organized!! With the tour we had 1 hour to visit Lake Louise, which does not give you time to see it from the viewpoint or to enjoy the spot where the glacier water plunges into the lake, but only to take the classic photo in the middle of the tourist crowd. My husband and I had to go back a second time. For Lake Moraine we had 1 hour and 15 minutes, more than enough but without any interesting explanations. The guide was kind and nice but I expected to learn something about the lake and the place. In short, the tour is fine if your goal is to see the lakes to take a photo and sit down to drink tea. If you really want to see the most beautiful spots, avoid the tour which, in the end, is just a private shuttle service that you pay 82 dollars for.
Absolutely loved our tour with Kenken this morning! He was amazing from start to finish — such great communication, fab knowledge of Banff and Lake Louise, and he was so helpful throughout the whole day. He made everything so easy and enjoyable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. And the photos he took of us were SO good!! 📸 Honestly couldn’t recommend Kenken enough if you’re looking for a guide around Banff and Lake Louise. Such a brilliant morning and memories we’ll definitely keep! 🏔️🤍
Our flight was cancelled and with our rebooking, we weren't going to make our morning tour so we thought we had to cancel... but Rockies Journey-they fit us in on the afternoon schedule! The guide, Jess I think is her name, absolutely fantastic-personable, funny, knowledgeable, and accommodating!!! Definitely recommend this company, Rockies Journey, for any tours they offer.
Awesome trip! All or the tours were great. Banff business district had a lot to offer. I highly recommend!
