Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I want to visit Moraine Lake. How can I do that?

A. You must make a reservation for a visit to Moraine Lake yourself, and if you want a guide to accompany you and take pictures, you can reserve a seat for the guide as well. There are two ways to make a reservation. The first is to use the government shuttle reservation site. The price is C$8 per person, and a reservation fee of C$3.5 is added.


1. Visit the reservation site: https://reservation.pc.gc.ca/create-booking
2. Select Day Use from the menu above.
3. Choose Shuttle to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake (Banff)
4. Enter the date and seat number and click Search.
5. Select Shuttle on the map

The 60% of seats marked as Last Minute are available for reservation at 8:00 AM MDT two days prior to departure, but they sell out within minutes, so we recommend making your reservation as close to 8:00 as possible. If there are seats available for reservation that are not marked as Last Minute, you can choose a seat that departs between 12:00 and 3:00 and make your reservation. This shuttle visits both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The shuttle that says Lake Louise (LL) visits Lake Louise first, and the shuttle that says Moraine Lake (ML) visits Moraine first. Therefore, you can book either one if it is available. It usually takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes to visit both lakes.

If you can't make a reservation for the government shuttle, you can use the second method, a private shuttle. It costs about C$48 per person and you can make a reservation through the website below. There is an 80% chance that you can make a reservation the day before or even on the day, but I recommend making a reservation in advance to make sure. You can make a reservation for the 2:45 PM shuttle and it usually returns to the departure point at 5:00.
