About this experience

Discover the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian Rockies on a guided journey through Banff and Yoho National Parks. In summer, the tour takes you to the region’s most iconic lakes — Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Emerald Lake — where turquoise waters reflect snow-capped peaks and alpine meadows. You’ll also stop at the stunning Natural Bridge and enjoy some free time in the charming Banff Town.

As the seasons change, Moraine Lake becomes inaccessible, and the route transforms into a magical winter experience. Visit the snow-covered Lake Louise, the tranquil Emerald Lake, and the dramatic Marble Canyon, and witness the frozen beauty of the Natural Bridge before heading to Banff Town. Each itinerary showcases the best of the Rockies in its own way, offering unforgettable views and a comfortable, well-organized experience year-round.
