Golden Hour at Moraine Lake: Begin your adventure at the world-renowned Moraine Lake. As the sun descends, watch the waters transform into a stunning shade of turquoise, reflecting the Ten Peaks. This magical moment during the golden hour provides perfect opportunities for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Sunset at Lake Louise: Next, we venture to the iconic Lake Louise. Experience the sunset casting a golden glow over the lake, creating a breathtaking panorama against the backdrop of the majestic Victoria Glacier. It’s a moment of tranquility and awe-inspiring beauty that you will cherish forever.
Wildlife Adventure on Bow Valley Parkway: As dusk falls, we’ll travel along the scenic Bow Valley Parkway. This time of day is ideal for wildlife sightings. Keep your cameras ready for possible encounters with elk, deer, bears, and other native wildlife in their natural habitat. Our experienced guides will share insights about the local ecosystem and wildlife behaviours.
Weather: 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. Evenings 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!
Accessibility: Adapted to various fitness levels, this tour involves some light walking to fully appreciate the surroundings.
What does the tour schedule look like?
Due to the changing sunset times over the course of the summer, we have staggered start times to ensure your visit aligns with the best times of the day for golden hour, sunset and dusk wildlife viewing.
Do I have enough time for significant hikes, say, to the Lake Louise teahouse?
Given the tour’s timeline, reaching the any of the Lake Louise teahouses is not possible. 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.
