This round-trip shuttle departs from Banff or Canmore and takes you to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. Since 2024, private vehicle access to Moraine Lake has been restricted, so you can visit both lakes in one trip without driving or worrying about parking. Following a set bus schedule, you spend 1 hour 20 minutes at each lake to walk and take photos, and national park admission and on-board Wi-Fi are included. In winter, there is also an option to visit Lake Louise and Marble Canyon.
