The best way to see Moraine Lake and Lake Louise
If you want an exceptional tour to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise this is the company to do it with! Would do again just for Kayla’s homemade banana bread🙌🏻
via Tripadvisor
Banana bread, hot chocolate, warm blankets oh my!
If you’re looking for a low key, no pressure, family friendly tour (and wonderful advice) - look no further. I did a fall sunset tour with Brandon and it was exceptional. Despite the rain and fog, he knew so many great tidbits of information it made the lack of sights still interesting. The communication from the team was top knotch when we had to move our booking and the banana bread is worth the tour price alone. Complimentary hot drinks made a chilly trip that much easier. Highly recommend and will be visiting with them again soon!

Sunset Tour
Riley was an amazing host! His communication was fantastic, the hot cocoa and bread was a really special treat. There was an issue with Moraine Lake road closure and he quickly made a change in order of schedule and we ended up seeing a grizzly and still saw beautiful views of Moraine. It was a really great tour. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour company, booking with them is a must!
What a fantastic tour with had with our guide Kayla! The scenery and whole experience was absolutely amazing. From the easy booking process, to communication, local knowledge and not forgetting the delicious banana bread, we were so impressed with the whole experience. We would 100% recommend others visiting this gorgeous part of Canada to book your excursions with Banff Alpenglow Adventures. Thank you Kayla

5-Star Sunrise Experience, worth the early start!
We had the most amazing sunrise trip with Banff Alpenglow Adventures, and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Our tour guide and driver, Riley, was fantastic from start to finish. He was so friendly, easy to chat with, and full of interesting facts about the local area and Canada. He happily answered all of our questions and made the journey really enjoyable. The van was comfortable, and Riley’s driving was incredibly smooth. We were picked up right outside our hotel in Banff and headed off to Moraine Lake. When we arrived, we were provided with blankets and head torches, along with the offer of hot drinks — such a thoughtful touch for an early morning start! Riley got us settled and then left us to enjoy the incredible sunrise experience at our own pace. Back at the van, we were treated to more hot drinks and homemade banana bread. We then headed over to Lake Louise, where Riley once again took us down to the shore and gave us different options for walks, allowing us to make the most of our time there. Overall, this was a 5-star experience from beginning to end. Everything was so well organised, Riley was brilliant, and the whole morning felt relaxed, comfortable and special. We would highly recommend Banff Alpenglow Adventures to everyone. It would suit all ages and is a fantastic way to experience these beautiful locations without the stress of organising everything yourself. We would absolutely book again when we’re back in the area! Thank you, Riley, for helping make our morning so memorable! ❤️

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Canmore.
How much does Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $145 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 Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 49 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Canmore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Adventure?
+
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 Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Adventure?
+
Around 17 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Adventure 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., Lake Louise Moraine Lake Day Trip from Banff Calgary Canmore. 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.
