Award-winning · 4,000+ 5-star reviews · Breakfast included The sunrise that rewires you. That moment when the first light hits the Ten Peaks and the turquoise water turns liquid gold, it's the kind of sunrise that stops your heart, then quietly rewires it. We get you there first, in total calm. Everything is included: upscale ride, hot drinks, expert guides who know exactly where to stand so the mountains light up just for you. No rush, no noise, just you, the silence, and the Rockies waking up like you've never seen before. After sunrise, we continue to Lake Louise, where the morning still holds its rare tranquility. Stroll the lakeshore, capture postcard-perfect reflections, or slide out onto the water in a canoe (optional) before the day's crowds arrive. Your guide is with you the whole way, and a café breakfast is waiting when you're ready. For the ones who believe some moments are worth waking up early for. - Hotel pickup and drop-off at select Banff and Lake Louise locations
Staggered pick-ups from 3:30 AM in Banff and 4:50 AM in Lake Louise. Catch a few extra ZZZs, spot wildlife grazing at dawn, or watch the first light reveal the Rockies as your guide sets the scene on the way to Moraine Lake for sunrise.
Your guide leads you safely by headlamp to a spectacular viewpoint for sunrise over the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Sip a hot drink as your guide shares the valley’s history and ecology, and offers photography tips for the perfect shot. Most guests stay 1.5 to 2 hours, with time to explore the lakeshore trails.
After the sunrise, breakfast is included: a breakfast croissant and freshly brewed coffee, packed and ready whenever you are. Just show up hungry.
The morning calm is still yours, before the afternoon crowds arrive. Walk the lakeshore, chase down the hidden viewpoints, or rent a canoe and get out on the glacier-fed water while it’s still calm. Or just stand at the edge of something that doesn’t look real. Your guide is with you the whole way.
Take time to explore the famous grounds of the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a historic luxury hotel nestled at the lake's edge, with iconic views, alpine architecture, and charming walking paths.
After a morning of incredible scenery and memories, relax on the ride back to Banff. We'll return you to Banff with plenty of time left to enjoy your day in the Rockies.

A great morning including 2 beautiful lakes, plenty of time to explore. Aaron looked after us week including a lovely mocha at sunrise.
A mocha at sunrise is a small thing that makes a big difference, and that's very Aaron. Glad the lakes and the time to explore both delivered. Thanks for this, we'll pass it on to him.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the “Moraine Lake Sunrise Adventure and Lake Louise” excursion, made truly unforgettable by our fantastic guide, Gareth. Gareth knew exactly when to leave and arrive at Moraine Lake to experience the breathtaking sunrise over the ten magnificent mountain peaks. It was simply spectacular and one of the highlights of our trip to Western Canada. His passion and knowledge made the experience even more special. He brought the history of Banff to life, introduced us to the local flora and fauna, and shared fascinating and entertaining facts about the wildlife in Banff and Jasper National Parks. Gareth is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging guide who clearly loves what he does. Thanks to him, we experienced not only the incredible beauty of the Canadian Rockies, but also learned to appreciate its nature and wildlife in a whole new way. Highly recommended — an unforgettable experience! Agnes VB and Ingrid DT (from Belgium)
Agnes and Ingrid, thank you for this. Gareth knowing exactly when to arrive for that sunrise over the Ten Peaks is one of his real strengths, and weaving in history alongside the flora and fauna makes the whole morning feel richer. We'll make sure he sees every word of this.
Aaron was an excellent guide very knowledgeable & funny at the same time. Looked after us from start to finish & is also a fantastic photographer, he taught me a couple of things on how to use my iPhone to get the best pictures!
Aaron teaching iPhone photography tricks on top of everything else is very him, he wants you to go home with photos that actually do the trip justice. Thanks for this, we'll pass it on to him.
A fabulous tour with amazing views and opportunity to explore. Aaron was a fantastic guide who made sure we all got the most from the trip
Making sure everyone got the most from the trip is a good way to sum up Aaron. Thanks for this, we'll pass it on to him.
This was by far our favorite excursion of our trip. Aaron knew every detail about the sunrise. He was very passionate, knowledgeable, engaging funny. He gave us the best experience we could've ever asked for. We had plenty of time at both locations and he took us on the scenic way home and hope of finding wildlife He went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend the excursion
Favourite excursion of the whole trip is a big call, and Aaron knowing every detail about the sunrise itself, not just the drive there, is very him. Thanks for this, we'll pass it on to him.
Great trip today with Gareth - he was very informative & well organised. Hot drink & breakfast was welcome as we waited for the light to develop. Plenty of time at both lakes to walk & take photos. It was good to be leaving as the hoards of visitors were arriving. We appreciated the fact that he modified the itinerary at the last part of the tour. Thanks for a great trip Gareth
Gareth modifying the itinerary near the end rather than sticking rigidly to plan is a nice touch, shows he's actually paying attention to how the day's going. Glad the hot drinks and breakfast landed well while you waited for the light. Thanks for this, we'll pass it on to him.
Georgia was such a wonderful guide! She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and thoughtful throughout our tour of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. She was always making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. She is very knowledgeable about the area and was constantly sharing interesting information, helpful tips, and recommendations that made our visit even better. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how much effort she put into making sure we had a great experience. I had such a lovely time and truly enjoyed the tour. Thank you, Georgia, for your kindness, enthusiasm, and for making an already beautiful day even more special. Highly recommended!
Georgia making sure everyone's comfortable while still sharing the tips and recommendations that make a visit better, that's her balancing care and knowledge in equal measure. Glad it made an already beautiful day feel even more special. Thanks for this, we'll pass it on to her.
A very enjoyable tour with a very knowledgeable guide Georgia. Thank you
Very knowledgeable is a phrase that keeps coming back to Georgia for good reason. Thanks for this, we'll pass it on to her.
Absolutely fantastic tour. Our driver / Guide, Georgia, was bang on time for our 04.30 pickup and was helpful and informative throughout. We were in a small bus of 8 guests. Very comfortable. The trip itself was just great. We arrived at Moraine Lake while it was still dark. We took our own head torches, but there were plenty in the bus if you needed one. Ditto walking poles, and warm blankets to take with you to the viewpoint if you felt you needed one. It was certainly nippy up at the viewpoint. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate were availible, and a packed breakfast was included. At Moraine lake as we waited for the sun to come up, Georgia brought us steaming mugs of hot coffee. At Lake Louise we got our packed breakfast and sat at this absolutely stunning viewpoint and enjoyed a delicious egg, ham and cheese croissant and a lovely fruity flapjack. I've had breakfast in worse places I can tell you. I would not hesitate to recommend this trip to my friends, and would certainly book with Radventure again if we ever return to Banff. Great tour, brilliant guide. We loved it.
Head torches, walking poles and blankets all on hand before anyone even had to ask, and hot coffee delivered right as you waited for the sun, that's Georgia thinking of everything. Glad the breakfast held its own too, croissant and flapjack sounds like a proper spread. Brilliant guide is well earned, we'll make sure she sees this.
Georgia was amazing! Would highly recommend this tour!
Short and warm, thanks for this. We'll pass it on to Georgia.
