This private customizable tour from Canmore lasts between eight and eleven hours, depending on the chosen itinerary and group preferences. The tour includes visits to Banff National Park and surrounding areas, with stops at Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and six additional sights. Transportation is provided in a comfortable SUV for groups under six or a van for a fully private vehicle all day. Due to park regulations, Moraine Lake access in summer for SUV bookings requires sharing a 15-passenger shuttle with another small group, while van bookings have private vehicle access to Moraine Lake. The first stop is Lake Louise, where guests have about 30 minutes to walk along the lakeshore, take photos, and optionally visit the Fairmont Chateau or rent a canoe. Moraine Lake is next, with approximately one hour to enjoy the turquoise waters and surrounding peaks; access is by shuttle in summer. Additional stops include Peyto Lake and Bow Lake, each offering views of glacial-fed turquoise waters and mountain scenery. Crowfoot Glacier is viewed briefly for about ten minutes to see its distinctive three-toed shape. Johnston Canyon features a 1.5-mile (2.75 km) trail with seven waterfalls; guests can walk about one kilometer (20 minutes) to reach the lower falls and a small cave for close views. Other stops are Mount Norquay Lookout, Bow Falls with its wide waterfall on the Bow River, and Surprise Corner for photos. In winter only, the tour includes Emerald Lake and Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park. The tour includes bottled water, air conditioning, Parks Canada entry fees, admission fees, and Moraine Lake shuttle access. Lunch is not included but there is a stop in Lake Louise Village where guests can purchase food. Total tour time includes travel between stops. The itinerary is fully customizable to suit the interests and pace of the group.
