From Calgary: Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, Johnston Canyon & Banff Town Day Tour

Depart from Calgary, Canmore or Banff
and explore Rockies lakes and canyons in a day

Board an air-conditioned van, bus or coach at a designated pickup point in Calgary, Canmore or Banff. Drive through Banff National Park and stop at Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, the Natural Bridge and Johnston Canyon, with a local guide introducing each place. There are extra stops along the way for sightseeing and photos.

See the turquoise waters of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake

At Lake Louise, framed by glaciers and mountains, spend about 50 minutes strolling the shoreline or rent a canoe to paddle on the calm water. Moraine Lake, a glacier-fed lake at about 1,885 m (6,183 ft) surrounded by the Valley of the Ten Peaks, is your stop for about 1 hour of views.

Lunch is a free 45-minute break at Lake Louise Village, where you can choose from restaurants and cafes.

Visit Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park

Spend about 45 minutes at Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, taking in its vivid green water and alpine peaks. Then stop for about 20 minutes at the Natural Bridge, a rock formation carved by the powerful Kicking Horse River.

Hike Johnston Canyon and finish in Banff town

Walk the Johnston Canyon trail along the rushing Johnston Creek, admiring limestone cliffs and waterfalls. Go with your guide to the Lower Falls (about 30 minutes) and the Upper Falls (about 1 hour). The tour ends with a visit to Banff town, full of shops, galleries and restaurants, before drop-off at your original pickup point.

※ Moraine Lake is visited only from June 1 to October 12. From October 13 to May 31, the tour visits Banff Avenue and Banff town instead of Moraine Lake.
