Extended Moraine & Louise Expedition | The Banff VIP Adventure

Mobile ticket

You asked for more time. You got it. Most Rocky Mountain tours give you just enough time to take a few photos before heading back to the bus. This tour is different. Experience three of the Canadian Rockies most iconic lakes with 2.5 hours at Moraine Lake, 2.5 hours at Lake Louise and 20 minutes at Lake Minnewanka and rest stops at Vermillion lookout and Norquay Lookout. Use your time your way. Rent a canoe, walk the lakeshore, explore nearby designated trails, find the perfect viewpoint, enjoy a quiet picnic or simply slow down and take in the scenery without constantly watching the clock. Complimentary snacks and cold drinks are included, along with blankets and umbrellas for changing mountain weather. Your guide can also help you find great viewpoints, photo locations and the best ways to enjoy your time at each stop. This is the tour for travelers who want more than a quick photo and a rushed departure. Take your time. See more. Make the memories you came to the Rockies for.
