Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunrise Tour
Beat Banff’s huge crowds with this sunrise tour to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, the park’s most famous spots. Moraine Lake will be your first stop—private vehicles aren’t even allowed here—to take in the sunrise with a warm drink in hand. After taking in the fabulous scene, you’ll then head over to Lake Louise, catching even more incredible views before the buses arrive.
Highlights
- ✓Headlamps, warm drinks (coffee/tea/cocoa), and photography assistance provided
- ✓Witness sunrise over Moraine Lake, which is closed to private vehicles
- ✓Visit Lake Louise—opt to add a hot breakfast or canoe ride at your leisure
- ✓Convenient hotel and Banff Train Station transfers included
What you'll see & do
- ✓Staggered pick-ups from 3:30 AM in Banff and 4:50 AM in Lake Louise. Catch a few extra ZZZs, spot wildlife grazing at dawn, or watch the first light reveal the Rockies as your guide sets the scene on the way to Moraine Lake for sunrise.
- ✓Your guide leads you safely by headlamp to a spectacular viewpoint for sunrise over the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Sip a hot drink as your guide shares the valley’s history and ecology, and offers photography tips for the perfect shot. Most guests stay 1.5 to 2 hours, with time to explore the lakeshore trails.
- ✓After the sunrise, breakfast is included: a breakfast croissant and freshly brewed coffee, packed and ready whenever you are. Just show up hungry.
- ✓The morning calm is still yours, before the afternoon crowds arrive. Walk the lakeshore, chase down the hidden viewpoints, or rent a canoe and get out on the glacier-fed water while it’s still calm. Or just stand at the edge of something that doesn’t look real. Your guide is with you the whole way.
- ✓Take time to explore the famous grounds of the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a historic luxury hotel nestled at the lake's edge, with iconic views, alpine architecture, and charming walking paths.
- ✓After a morning of incredible scenery and memories, relax on the ride back to Banff. We'll return you to Banff with plenty of time left to enjoy your day in the Rockies.
