Into The Wild Tours
Start your day with ease and convenience, with pickups beginning from Canmore or Banff. From the moment you step into our comfortable, spacious vehicle, your small-group adventure begins. No need to worry about the details—your personalized tour has been thoughtfully planned to offer you the best experience possible. Once everyone is picked up, we’ll travel along the Bow Valley Parkway, a scenic stretch of road that was once the original highway connecting Banff and Lake Louise. This beautiful route winds through forested landscapes and is a popular area for wildlife sightings (no guarantees), adding an extra layer of discovery to the journey. We’ll also make a short stop at Morant’s Curve, giving you time to stretch your legs, enjoy the iconic mountain views, and perhaps catch a glimpse of a passing train while enjoying a coffee or tea from the van. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the land’s wildlife, history, and ecology, offering a deeper connection to the breathtaking landscapes you’re about to explore.
Upon arrival, you’ll have up to four hours of free time to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Moraine Lake. This extended visit means you won’t have to rush—you’ll have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Stroll along the lakeshore, hike the short but iconic Rockpile for that world-famous viewpoint, or rent a canoe and paddle across the turquoise waters.
For those craving more adventure, Moraine Lake also offers access to incredible hiking trails. Journey to Consolation Lakes for a serene alpine setting, or challenge yourself on the world-renowned Larch Valley Trail. In the fall, this trail becomes especially magical—mid-September to early October is when the larch trees are at their most vibrant, transforming the valley into a golden wonderland and making it one of the best hikes of the season.
Whether you’re here to hike, photograph, or simply sit back and take it all in, this tour is designed to give you the time and space to truly connect with Moraine Lake.
