The 15 Best Lake Louise & Moraine Lake Day Tours

56 reviewed

Both lakes closed their roads to private cars, so a tour is now the easiest way in. These are the day trips worth booking: which ones catch Moraine Lake at sunrise, which build in a canoe on Lake Louise, what each seat costs, and which one to pick for a first visit to the turquoise water.

Full-day Banff and Yoho lakes tour from Calgary: Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge, Johnston Canyon.

“The time allowed at each venue was enough, however the Johnson Canyon was too much time. Banff having 90 minutes would have been a better choice and Johnson Canyon 45 minutes. I do understand that it took sometime to get to the canyon, but it could be scaled down and added to Banff.”

Guided full-day loop from Banff hitting Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Icefields Parkway, Bow Lake, Crowfoot, and Peyto Lake with hotel pickup.

“Rob was a very safe, experienced and knowledgeable driver who helped to make the whole day one to remember. The Icefields Parkway part of the trip was especially good, as the scenery was stunning and the area was much quieter than the popular Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Rob knew the area well too and took us to the prime viewing spots. The trip is perhaps more expensive than some other offerings, but with the added attraction of the Icefields Parkway is worth the extra. There was a stop at a small mall to get food and refreshments. The trip included pick-up and drop-off at all the hotels, which was…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 692 reviews · 4 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $119

Small-group afternoon or morning tour to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake with great viewpoints, easy transport, and just enough time for photos.

“A wonderful tour covering Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and parts of Banff National Park. Our brilliant tour guide, Jake, made this more of an adventure. Part historian, part outdoorsman, great comic relief and self proclaimed best looking tour guide in the Canadian Rockies, Jake really made this a day to remember. He shared so much history about the area and this great wilderness we all enjoyed. We were lucky enough to see a mother Grizzly Bear and her cubs eating berries on the side of the road to Moraine Lake. This 4 .5 hour tour is a perfect length. Sign up for the early tour to beat a lot of…”

“We had the best time on our tour to Lake Louise and Lake Moraine, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, B! B struck the perfect balance between giving us freedom and guiding us with knowledge and personality. At both lakes, she offered us the option to explore on our own for a couple of hours or to follow her along the trail — we chose to stick with her and it was totally worth it. She shared fascinating historical facts about the lakes and Banff, all while keeping things fun and relaxed. We especially loved her witty commentary (including her very relatable dislike for…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 416 reviews · 5 hours · from $77

A budget-friendly shuttle from Banff to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, with 75 minutes at each for photos and self-guided wandering.

“It was excellent! Extremely comfortable Mercedes van. Great guide who made some very helpful suggestions, including climbing the stockpile at Moraine Lake to get the best views and photos. Both of these attractions were amazingly spectacular, however it was a clever move to have Lake Louise as the starter because Moraine Lake was definitely the main course. Out of this world and must rate as one of great scenic wonders of the world. So fortunate to see it in good weather. The tour was very easy to book and went without a hitch. Well done to GYG and the operator!”
