Tours & activities worldwide.
Depart from designated points in Calgary, Canmore or Banff on a guided day tour of the highlights of Banff National Park. In the morning, choose between riding the Banff Gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain or relaxing at the Banff Upper Hot Springs (tickets purchased separately). After Bow Falls, the Surprise Corner viewpoint and free time in Banff town, the afternoon takes you to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake (Lake Minnewanka in winter). Traveling by van lets you see many sights efficiently.

Depart from Calgary, Canmore or Banff
and enjoy the gondola or hot springs
After pickup at your designated point, travel in an air-conditioned van past Castle Mountain and the Vermilion Lakes to Banff. The first stop is about 80 minutes at your choice of the Banff Gondola or the Banff Upper Hot Springs.
If you choose the gondola, ride to the summit of Sulphur Mountain for panoramic views of the Canadian Rockies and walk the boardwalk to the lookout and interpretive center. If you choose the hot springs, relax in natural mineral pools surrounded by mountain views. Gondola tickets and hot springs admission are not included.
Pass Bow Falls and Surprise Corner
and explore Banff town at leisure

Spend about 15 minutes walking along the Bow River near the Banff Springs Hotel to see the cascading Bow Falls, then take photos overlooking the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel at the Surprise Corner viewpoint. Next, enjoy about 80 minutes of free time in Banff town to stroll the streets, browse the shops and have lunch (meal not included).
See turquoise Lake Louise and Moraine Lake

In the afternoon, spend about 50 minutes walking the lakeshore trail at Lake Louise, surrounded by glaciers and peaks. Then stay about 50 minutes at Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks and enjoy a short hike on the Rockpile Trail.
