Tour Details
You've probably heard about the famous sunrise at Moraine Lake, but if you haven't, there's still time to discover what all the buzz is about! Enjoy up to two hours to revel in the beautiful morning glow, followed by a visit to the iconic Lake Louise, where you will enjoy more leisure time to hike, canoe, or simply unwind and relax.
Join us on this incredible Sunrise Experience, complete with round-trip transportation from Banff, Canmore or Harvie Heights.
DESCRIPTION
Start your early day with stress-free pick-up by one of our expert tour guides. Travel in style and comfort in our spacious vans as we make our way to the Moraine Lake. Upon arrival, our guide will show you to our favourite spot to watch sunrise so you can witness the alpenglow on the Ten Peaks - what a Moraine Lake sunrise is famous for. After watching the sunrise, you'll have some additional free time to wander along the lake's edge, dip your toes in the glacial water or soak in the unforgettable views.
Next, we'll make the short journey to Lake Louise, where your guide will provide insider tips and highlight must-see attractions to enhance your visit. Enjoy up to two hours of leisure time and choose to sit & relax, walk the lakeshore, hike up to a stunning lookout, rent a canoe or indulge yourself at the Fairmont Chateau.
As we wrap up our time at Lake Louise, we'll return to Banff, Canmore and Harvie Heights, making an additional bonus stop handpicked by your guide for added surprises along the way. Don't miss out on this extraordinary journey – join us for an sunrise adventure like no other!
