What You’ll See on This Tour

Lake Louise — The Jewel of Banff
Nestled beneath the majestic Victoria Glacier, Lake Louise is one of the most photographed lakes in the world. Its turquoise color shifts with the light, framed by snow-capped peaks. Stroll along the lakeshore, enjoy peaceful mountain air, and capture postcard-perfect views — a highlight of every Banff sightseeing tour.

Moraine Lake (Summer) / Johnston Canyon (Winter)
When open from June to mid-October, Moraine Lake shines with surreal blue waters surrounded by the Ten Peaks. Walk up the Rockpile Trail for sweeping panoramas — it’s pure Canadian magic.
In winter, Johnston Canyon offers an equally spectacular scene, with frozen waterfalls and icy trails that sparkle in the morning sun.

Takakkaw Falls — Yoho’s Mighty Cascade
Standing at over 373 meters, Takakkaw Falls is one of Canada’s tallest and most powerful waterfalls. Watch as meltwater plunges from Daly Glacier in Yoho National Park. This natural wonder translates to “magnificent” in Cree — and it truly is.

Emerald Lake — A Tranquil Mirror of the Mountains
The centerpiece of Yoho, Emerald Lake lives up to its name with deep green hues caused by glacier silt. It’s surrounded by lush forests and limestone peaks — perfect for photos or a short lakeside stroll. No Banff Yoho day trip is complete without it.

Natural Bridge — Yoho’s Sculpted Wonder
Witness nature’s craftsmanship at the Natural Bridge, where the Kicking Horse River carved a limestone arch over centuries. It’s a powerful example of water meeting rock — and a favorite stop on our Banff to Yoho day trip.

Bow Lake & Peyto Lake — Glacier Reflections on the Parkway
Travel along the legendary Icefields Parkway, one of the most scenic drives in the world. Stop at Bow Lake and Peyto Lake, where the glacier-fed waters glimmer in brilliant shades of blue. At Peyto Lake Lookout, the view resembles a wolf’s head — a must-see for photographers.

Crowfoot Glacier Lookout — A Glimpse into the Ice Age
Named for its three-pronged glacier (once shaped like a crow’s foot), this viewpoint offers insight into the Rockies’ ancient past. It’s a reminder of how powerful nature’s slow artistry can be.

A Day in the Heart of Banff
