What to Expect

Private tour
4 stops
10 hrs duration

Stop at: Lake Louise

60 min Admission included

The Activity: A visit to the most iconic basin in the range. We’ll move along the flat lakeshore trail to reach the quieter vantage points of the lake and surrounding peaks, offering a better perspective of the Victoria Glacier and castle-like Fairmont Chateau.

Stop at: Marble Canyon

45 min Admission included

The Activity: We cross the Continental Divide into British Columbia for a change of pace on the way back to Banff town. This short, weaving trail features canyon-straddling footbridges where you can peer through limestone slot-canyon walls to the rushing turquoise waterfalls below. A rugged, high-impact stop that adds a second province and National Park to your day.

Stop at: Banff

90 min

The Activity: Enjoy a 'free time' stop in the heart of Banff town. We drop you off centrally, allowing you to explore local boutiques, artisan galleries, or the scenic Bow River pathways at your own pace. A great opportunity to grab a mountain-town souvenir or a local treat before the next stop.

Stop at: Lake Minnewanka

45 min Admission included

At Lake Minnewanka, we walk along the wind-swept shoreline of Banff’s largest glacial lake before passing by Two Jack Lake to complete the Minnewanka Scenic Drive before heading back to Calgary.
