Lake Louise/Moraine Review
You're booked excursion time can change if there is not enough ppl; we booked for 2pm and 2 days before got a email advising its been changed to 9am, which is a BIG difference. In the end it worked out for us. Driver was good, while they were 25 mins late to pick us up, we later found out it was due to 2 ppl being late for the 1st pick up that they waited for...those same 2 ppl caused us to be late leaving Lake Louise to go to Moraine Lake and eventually got left behind. This was not on the driver at all, but annoying when some ppl don't respect others times and instructions. Worth the tour, Lakes were beautiful

Great experience overall....
Great experience overall. Mel was polite and accomodating. The pickup and drop off was seamless from banff train station and the station had enough parking for the day. Will surely book again.

Perfect transport for our family
This was just what we were looking for - a small bus to take our family of wide age gap to both moraine lake and lake Louise. This allowed us to not have to worry about parking - gave us the permit we needed for moraine lake and was the perfect amount of time at both lakes. The driver was super nice and had great info about the area that was interesting and helpful.

Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Canmore.
How much does Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle cost?
+
Prices start at $61 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 Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle take?
+
Plan for about 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 Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 33 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 Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle?
+
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 Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle?
+
Around 12 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle 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?
+
On Outty we rank every Canmore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Banff, Moraine Lake, Louise, Johnston Canyon & Bow Falls, 8 Iconic Stops. 12 Comfy Seats. 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.
