Ride a bus from Banff, Canmore or Calgary to two turquoise glacier lakes of the Canadian Rockies, Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, on a half-day tour. Since 2024, Moraine Lake has been closed to private vehicles, so the tour bus is an easy way to get there. Spend about 1 hour 20 minutes at each lake, listening to your guide and walking the shoreline. A national park pass, free bottled water and on-board Wi-Fi are included.
