The Johnston Canyon was a...
The Johnston Canyon was a bit of a hike. My mom who's 73 had a bit of a hard time trekking to the small falls. It's helpful to dress comfortable, closed shoes that you're really comfortable with, sunscreen towards the end of the day or hat, light jacket if you're starting the tour early in the morning. Caroline, our tour guide was very much helpful and considerate. She's enthusiastic and encouraging throughout the tour. Her history spiels were interesting. Caroline was very considerate during the tour since we have a senior and 4 kids. The kids loved Caroline. It was a wonderful trip overall.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Banff.
How much does Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Banff usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Banff is not rushed.
Is Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Banff, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon?
+
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 Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon?
+
Around 1 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 Banff 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 Banff and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon 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 Banff 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 Banff?
+
On Outty we rank every Banff experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hop-On and Hop-Off Banff Bus, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and the Icefields Parkway Full-Day Tour, Lake Louise Emerald Lake Natural Bridge Half Day Tour. 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 Banff?
+
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 Banff?
+
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.
What happens to Hoodoos, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Marble Canyon if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Banff. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
