Into The Wild Tours
Step aboard our cozy shuttle for a peaceful journey through the snow-kissed landscapes of the Canadian Rockies. Your adventure begins with pickups from the charming towns of Canmore and Banff, nestled at the foot of these majestic mountains. As you settle in, your friendly driver-guide will share captivating stories about the region’s rich history, dramatic geography, and the diverse wildlife that thrives in this winter wonderland, setting the stage for the natural beauty that lies ahead. To keep you warm and refreshed throughout the journey, complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate will be provided on board.
Before reaching Lake Louise, we’ll make a stop at the Lake Louise Village, where you’ll have the opportunity to rent ice skates at a special 10% discount. For those interested in gliding across the frozen lake, this is your chance to gear up! The rental shop offers a variety of sizes and styles, and the rental fee is an additional charge paid directly at the shop. If skating isn’t on your agenda, feel free to explore the outdoor gear shop for winter essentials or relax in one of the cozy cafés, sipping a warm drink as you take in the charming village atmosphere.
Lake Louise
Our first main stop is the iconic Lake Louise, where the frozen lake and snow-draped peaks create a scene of pure winter magic. You’ll have 90 minutes to immerse yourself in the season’s splendor. Glide gracefully across the ice on your newly rented skates, take a leisurely stroll to admire the breathtaking scenery, or marvel at the intricate ice sculptures that add a touch of artistry to the landscape. If you prefer a cozy retreat, warm up with a steaming beverage as you soak in the serene beauty that surrounds you.
Please remember to dress warmly and comfortably for the weather. The Canadian Rockies in winter can be quite cold, so layered clothing, warm hats, gloves, and sturdy boots are essential to ensure you stay comfortable and enjoy your adventure to the fullest.
Johnston Canyon
As the day continues, we’ll head to Johnston Canyon, a true winter paradise. To help you fully enjoy and safely explore the area, we provide ice cleats and hiking poles.
Upon arrival, you’ll have 2 hours of free time to explore this magical landscape at your own pace. Wander along the snow-covered trail to the enchanting Lower Falls, where you can pass through a natural cave to catch a mesmerizing view of the frozen waterfall. Continuing onward, you’ll reach the impressive Upper Falls, where a towering pillar of ice rises 30 meters into the sky. The shimmering icicles and tranquil winter atmosphere create an unforgettable scene, and with luck, you may even spot ice climbers scaling the frozen walls. And if you ever need anything or wish to return early, our cozy shuttle will always be nearby, ready to welcome you back with hot drinks and a warm seat.
After an unforgettable day exploring the wintery wonders of the Rockies, we’ll comfortably return you to your original pickup locations, leaving you with warm memories of an extraordinary adventure.
