Great experience.
We had a great time and our driver/tour guide was very accommodating. Everyone had a great time. Thank you so much.

Pleasant journey and the...
Pleasant journey and the driver gave us some guides. The duration is just enough if you just want to walk around the lake and take pictures. If you want to go out of path, better get the long duration trip. It's the last day before the lake closed during this season.

Lake Louise - Lake Moraine
Beautiful locations, but pretty packed with people. Work to the higher ground for better views on water’s color. My critique is two fold: young children should not be allowed on this trip (screaming child for portions of the bus ride to/from locations) and the driver had poor english paired with a broken bus microphone = impossible to understand. The beauty of the locations still made it worth it, but we could not wait to get off the bus throughout.

Great Day
Great way to see Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Our driver Dave was very informative en route sharing his knowledge of wildlife. The 1.5 hrs in each spot was the perfect amount.

Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Canmore.
How much does Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each) cost?
+
Prices start at $54 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Canmore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each) take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Canmore is not rushed.
Is Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Canmore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each)?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Canmore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Canmore and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Banff/Canmore Shuttle to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise(1.5h each) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Canmore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Canmore?
+

See Banff's Best in First Class., Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Tour from Calgary - Canmore - Banff. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Canmore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Canmore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
