Depart from Banff or Canmore and visit Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Emerald Lake, three icons of the Canadian Rockies, in one day. At Lake Louise, an arrangement with the boathouse lets you skip the long canoe rental line, so you can paddle on the turquoise water beneath the Victoria Glacier right away if you wish (canoe rental optional, paid on site). Moraine Lake, closed to private vehicles, is easy to reach as part of the tour with no separate shuttle booking. A local guide leads small groups of up to 14 guests and takes care of park entry and parking.

A full-day tour from Banff and Canmore
to three iconic lakes
Leave Banff and Canmore in the morning for a 9 to 10 hour tour of Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Emerald Lake. The tour runs in small groups of up to 14 guests, with a professional local guide throughout. National park entry, parking and permits are all arranged in advance, so you can simply enjoy the scenery.
Visit Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park

After a scenic drive of about 1 hour, arrive at Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park and explore for about 1 hour. It is a quiet, deep blue lake that most day-trippers do not have time to visit. Then head to Lake Louise Village for a lunch break of about 1 hour (meals at your own expense).
Skip the canoe line and get out on Lake Louise

Spend about 2 hours at Lake Louise, famous for its turquoise shoreline beneath the Victoria Glacier. Thanks to the operator's arrangement with the boathouse, you can skip the general canoe rental line. At the busiest times, the general line can take more than an hour.
Canoeing is optional. If you wish, pay the boathouse's standard rate ($180 per canoe) directly and paddle for about 1 hour, or simply enjoy the view from the shore.
Pass the Valley of the Ten Peaks to Moraine Lake

In the afternoon, travel past the Valley of the Ten Peaks to Moraine Lake and explore for about 2 hours 15 minutes. Private vehicles are not allowed on Moraine Lake Road, but transport is arranged as part of the tour, so no separate shuttle booking is needed. Take in one of Canada's most famous views from the Rockpile, then return to Banff and Canmore in about 1 hour.
※ Canoeing is available only at Lake Louise and depends on boathouse availability and the weather on the day.
※ The tour runs rain or shine, and arrival and return times may vary with traffic and weather.
※ Lake colors and scenery may vary depending on weather and season.
