Given the tour’s timeline, reaching the Lake Louise teahouses would be a stretch. If you want to use our tour to access the lakes and are happy to find your own way back to Banff, you can then use local transportation, like the Roam bus, to return to Banff when you’re ready.

Our tours go on, come rain, snow, or sunshine! Extreme weather is the only deterrence, wherein we offer complete refunds or alternate schedules.

Dress for the unpredictable mountain weather. Early mornings can be chilly – layered clothing is advised.

Pro local tip: Mountain weather is notoriously unpredictable. Sometimes, the uncertain conditions, like light drizzle, gift us with the most mesmerizing landscapes and minimal crowd interference. Embrace it!
